Punk Harron Rock
574 words
It's 1990 and many people say punk is dead. Others
say punk is still dying. Still others say the
story of rock and roll is nearly over. Such people
have at least learned one thing from punk: they
have adopted the same blind pessimism that caused
so many bands to burn out so quickly. Many
believers of this theory often see only the
superficial qualities of the subculture made
visible through the mass media. The fashion and
the well-publicized scandals of Sid Vicious and
friends were as far as mos...

Monster Grendel Dark Ages

Time plays a major role in the novel Grendel.
Grendel lived in the very turbulent time period of
the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages was a time of much
fighting and very little intellectual growth by
the common people, a time in which the great
majority of the people lived in poverty and were
slaves in the feudal system; a time when religion
and lords ruled the state, a time of much gloom,
despair, and uncertainty about the future by the
general population. In a time like this, it is no
wonder that her...

Janis Joplin Jimi Hendrix

Music and Drugs Beginning with the late 1960 s
counterculture in San Francisco, music and drugs
will forever be inter-linked. Hippie bands such as
the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and Phish
are associated with marijuana, mushrooms, and LSD.
Modern electronic rave, or club music is
associated with MDMA or Ecstasy. When one thinks
of rock and roll, sex and drugs immediately come
to mind. While the use of drugs is not essential
for the creation or performance of all new music,
it was certain...

Pop Culture Isnt Cool From my point of view, Great
pop music is an oxymoron. These days people look
to the media for the answer to everything,
including what music to listen to, or in most
cases what music to play in the back round. Im not
saying all pop fans are closed minded to the point
where they listen to the music genre that is
currently trendy in hopes of it helping them
position themselves socially. Im also not denying
the fact, people like that are out there. In most

The Life Of Stevie Ray Vaughan By Secret Tweaker
Pad Stevie Ray Vaughan a legend, a master of his
art, but most of all salutary to the blues revival
in his day in age. At a time where blues was
fading out, in the late eighties, like a candle
dying out he was the one match that kept it lit,
and almost brought blues to salvation. Great blues
riffs and sick licks going strong, and he would
keep them going all night long. Mostly self taught
he was a true musician whose time ran short.
