Woodstock Music And Art Fair
.... festival, nearly ninety percent of the
people there were smoking marijuana. There were no violence problems
though. Approximately one hundred percent of the 33 people arrested were
charged with drug-related charges.
FOOD
Food shortage was a problem since so many people showed up who the
festival organizers wree not prepared for. Only 60,000 people were
expected to attend, yet on the first day alone, 500,000 frankfurters and
hamburgers were consumed. Constant airlifts were being operated from the
site and outlying areas, bringing in a total of 1,300 pounds of canned food,
sandwiches, and fruit. In fact, the food proble .....

The Music Of Generation X
.... Then the songs continues by
talking about loneliness. Drug addiction is often the background for much of
the music in today's society. People tend to idolize famous people and when
they see or hear of their idols using drugs or drinking they follow the actions
of the famous people. Another song in which I am going to discuss is written by
The Smashing Pumpkins. "Tonight, tonight" is a song about growing up. The song
stresses the importance of time and how precious it is, "time is never time at
all/you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth/ and our lives are
forever changed/ we will never be the same." Thi .....

A Cappella? Is That How You Spell It?
.... basis. However, most other musical
terms - forte, accelerando, and many others - are Italian in origin. Since the
Italian spelling is more consistent with other musical terms, it has been used
more frequently.
Given the difficulty of spelling our favorite style of music, we'd like to
endorse the simplicity of a single spelling:
a cappella - two words, two "p's", two "l's."
singing without instruments
Acappella
Joining the two Italian words together to make Acappella is a popular variation
in the U.S. For many streetcorner singing fans, Acappella means unaccompanied

How To Listen To Music, Not Just Hear It
.... tweeters, mid-range, and woofers give you their undivided
attention.
Where to sit is simple, but it takes some easy calculations to find the
perfect spot. There is a common rule for a person to experience the full effect
of the music. In order to do this, measure the distance between the two speaker
cabinets. If the speaker's cabinets are placed twelve feet apart from each
other, divide twelve feet in half, which gives us six feet. That's the middle,
so mark that location. From that mark, measure twelve feet back, and mark that
spot on the floor. You have found the perfect spot for you to achieve the best
sound from .....

Appearance Vs. Reality Of Modern Music Affect On Teenagers
.... accessible then most
people are aware of this so they start to pay attention to it, they see
these extravagant people with no boundaries, limits or regulations. Most
of modern "rock stars" have a catch something that stands out from the rest
which leads to peoples attention. Also most "rock stars" these days have a
relationship with the teens, the teens see themselves (or what they want to
call themselves) in the "rock stars" presentation of their selves, but they
take it to extremes so the teens say "hey they are like me but better" so
it becomes an obsession to conform. These are some reasons why teens are
obsessed by "rock .....

Alanis Morissette's "Ironic": Isn't It Ironic?
.... that things we need
are never readily available. But I think we can take this beyond just
material things in life to the important ideals, such as our dreams and
goals. Usually we have to go through so much more that we do not need until
we finally reach what we want. A common example would be going through
ten thousand classed to get to the one class we really need.
AIt's like meeting the man of your dreams, then meeting his
beautiful wife.@ Finally, you think you found the most important thing in
your life and then find out you didn't. For a moment your dreams are
standing right in front of you and can be a reali .....

Mozart And His Music
.... wishes. In 1783, Mozart and Constanze visited
Salzburg, where he helped Michael Haydn out of a difficult spot, by
writting some violin duets. He completed a set of string quartets, and in
so doing, deeply impressed Josef Haydn who was the greatest master of music
for string quartets. In 1786, Mozart's London friends took part in the
first performance of The Marriage of Figaro. This was a triumph for Mozart
in Prague, and he wrote his "Prague" symphony as a tribute to its generous
people.
In Paris, Mozart published his first works: four sonatas for
clavier: with accompanying violin in 1764.
In 1768 he composed his first o .....

Porgy And Bess
.... Afro-American culture were showcased primarily in dramas
rather than in musicals.
In Hall Johnson's "Run, Little Chillun!", a folk drama about the
conflict between the Christian and African religious heritage in black life,
critics praised the marvelous choral music. While Johnson called his work a
drama, Time suggested that he had written an opera, something rarely
achieved or even considered by black artists working on Broadway.
Although the thought of an opera with a black cast and created by
black talent was a rarity, it was not unprecedented. Bob Cole had spoken
about an opera based on Uncle Tom's Cabi, but the w .....

people. Rappers rap about situation that happen to them in some point of

Freire; Teaching In Our Society, And Wu-Tang Clan
.... He would
probably except anything such as a poem, paper, or a picture. As long as
the perception does not fit the one that society shows us. The essay that
is shown below is about a rap group named the Wu-Tang Clan. This was a very
good choice to write this essay because they look at society through the
eyes of an outsider.
The Wu-Tang Clan is a rap group that came out with there first CD
in 1993. This CD soon became a rap classic. They combine real street life
from the projects with lyrics that were deep and had much meaning. The Wu
puts forward explicit lyrics that identify with the audience and bring
them to the reality of the .....
