Bye Bye Backstreet Boys

Nsync: A True Talent in Music Here we go, the
title of one of many Nsync songs, but it is also a
term that cynics often use referring to the group.
Here we go, another boy band, they all sound the
same, etc. , etc. , etc. I admit that two years
ago I agreed with the critics of this new boy band
movement, in that they were trying to duplicate
the success of groups such as New Kids on the
Block and New Edition. Its a guaranteed
money-maker, five good-looking guys, a trace of
vocal talent, and some...

End Of The Year Fab Four
1,235 words
Probably the most popular, influential and
enduring rock group of all time, the Beatles
almost single-handedly reshaped rock 'n' roll from
a genre of throwaway singles by faceless stars to
an artistic medium with memorable images and
idols. The Beatles placed the emphasis on a group,
rather than a single individual, like Frank
Sinatra or Elvis. They also set an example for all
rock n roll bands to follow with their strong
sense of self-determination, going against their
record company and manage...

John Stuart Mill Parents Music Resource
5,071 words
Our society today largely views censorship as a
method that has disappeared from liberal cultures
since the enlightenment with the exception of
restrictions in time of war. The enlightenment
served to cripple the intolerance of incisive
religious and government leaders, but did not
obliterate censorship altogether. Instead, the job
of expurgating unacceptable ideas has simply
fallen into new hands using new tactics. Censors
now assume the guise of capitalist retailers and
distributors, special-i...

Jimi Hendrix Rock 'n' Roll Legend

... second album, Axis: Bold As Love, came a year
later in December 1967 after much hard work. The
original album recording was lost, and deadlines
caused the band to have to remix it in its
entirety in just under eleven hours ("Jimi",
Rolling 45). It was certified platinum, and
Hendrix gained even more loyal supporters. He was
completely dedicated to his music and not only
slept with his guitar but also spent his every
waking moment playing it (Wolters, "Discography").
He had already begun work...

I read the news today, oh boy, about a lucky man
who made the grade... he blew his mind out in a
car. He didn't notice that the lights had changed.
(the Beatles, 1967) These lyrics proved to fans
that Paul McCartney had indeed died in a tragic
auto accident in late 1966. Some people were
skeptical about the explanation, but upon
investigating the album covers and the lyrics of
the Beatles's ong's, the story seems to make
sense. Some of the lyrics have to be a twisted in

Wal Mart Death Row

Virginia have followed suit by passing the same
law. This means that millions of dollars in stock
could potentially be removed from companies such
as Time Warner if the state decides it doesn't
approve of any one album produced by that company.
This gives the government a huge amount of power
and control over the artistic content of a

government. In Detroit, M...

Music And History Of Dave Matthews

Dave Matthews, aided by his incredibly talented
band-mates, created music that filled a spiritual

multicultural tolerance not usually advocated in
todays society, using grass roots touring and

diverse background helped him to develop a
culturally tolerant mentality. Most of Dave

blues. Because of his skill and ever- evolving

itself. Eric Clapton made his recording debut with

Hendrix pioneered the electric guitar (he played a

I believe that it is the music of our time that
will be remembered long after we are gone, and it
is bands like Oasis that led the revolution which

Liam and Noel Gallagher was the first band after
The Beatles to lash out against what had become
the normal way a band should be, and that is why
they will be known for years to come as the band
who changed rock music. Noel Gallagher was born on

Consciousness expresses itself through creation.
This world we live in is the dance of the creator.
Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but
the dance lives on. On many an occasion, when I am
dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred.
In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and become
one with everything that exists. I become the
stars and the moon. I become the lover and the
beloved. I become the victor and the vanquished. I
become the master and the slave. I become the

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.
