Falls In Love Jimi Hendrix

On November 27, 1942, Jimi Hendrix was born as
John Allen Hendrix in Washington at Seattle
General Hospital. His childhood was not a
privileged one, however, he did indulge himself in
one particular way: Jimi loved to play the guitar.

teenager, young Jimi listened to the music which

Crawl Into Bed Hit The Snooze Button Day
575 words
A bad day is like a domino effect. One block falls
and each one will follow. It is ten o'clock on
Tuesday morning and normally I would hit the
"snooze" button about five times, and roll out of
bed, but today feeling extremely energetic. I hop
out of bed and decide to shower early in hopes of
actually presenting myself in a better manner than
my usual t-shirt and running pants. Tuesday was
also the first day I began to feel better. I have

Punk Harron Rock

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

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...
