Star Spangled Banner Jimi Hendrix
1,204 wordsThe best guitarist, who is it? This is an argument that has been amongst many musicians for many years. But who is the hands down best guitarist? From my viewpoint the answer is obvious. Joe Satriani without a doubt is the best guitarist alive today and perhaps the best guitarist ever. I can already hear the responses from the crowd. What about Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, or perhaps Steve Vai and Eric Johnson? All of these players are good guitarists, but they are no...

Pearl Jam As A Counter Cultural Band
2,406 wordsPearl Jam as a Counter-cultural Band The early ' 90 s alt-rock rebellion, which spewed from the underground like a geyser and saved rock-n-roll from hair bands, exacted a serious toll. Band break-ups, career nosedives, sell-outs and drug abuse death are as much a legacy of that dramatic period as the music. Pearl Jam is still standing - arguably the only band from the age that still matters. "I'm totally excited about still being around, " said Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready. While the group ...

Five People You Meet In Heaven
769 wordsFive People You Meet in Heaven The book by Mitch Albom 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' has made an astonishing influence on me, making me think, which five people will I meet in Heaven after death?

' (p. 10) What is meant here is that all lives are i...

I will also give a paragraph that was probably the best paragraph in the book, in my opinion. The book starts out with Ian Malcolm, a mathematician who had already had an experience with live dinosaurs a couple of years ago on another island.
