Adam Sandler's "What The Hell Happened To Me?": How Music Affects Culture
... and what we subject them to. Our methods of education and entertainment
both affect how we turn out in the long run. The song shows how these traits
affect how people grow up, and what they value in life. For example, the song
talks about selling lemonade, eating popcorn, and watching parades. Then it goes
on to say he's "only happy when [he's] drinking JD" The point is that people are
changing because of society and our culture's lack of certain elements, such as
respect and discipline.
Values. The values presented by this song include the value of respect and
discipline, and the need for more strict ways to keep a young mind safe of
destruction. These val ...

Song Analysis: "Betterman”
... kinds of different emotions someone can have. The lyrics
are very important in a song and in this song they express really strong
feeling. Love is symbolized in the song through the words that are song.

Tricky's Pre-Millenium Tension
... question...but is it? Is the music itself really arousing such strong feelings in me, or is it merely the means to bring those emotions out of me? The beats don't have any sentience. It's driving, it's hard, and it sure as hell makes me want to get up and dance, but does house music have anything more than electronic beats at it's core? Coming from a HUGE househead, it's sad to admit....but the answer is definitively NO. Let's forget the specific genre of house music. Is any type of electronic music based on more than samples and beats? Well...thanks to one innovative performer, that answer may just be YES.
is a revolutionary album, defining the new bound ...

... Masses, which was associated with the Ash-can School, and exhibited watercolors in the Armory Show, which made an overwhelming impact on him. After a visit to Paris in 1928 he introduced a new note into U.S. cubism, basing himself on its synthetic rather than its analytical phase. Using natural forms, particularly forms suggesting the characteristic environment of American life, he rearranged them into flat poster-like patterns with precise outlines and sharply contrasting colors.
He later went on to pure abstract patterns, into which he often introduced lettering, suggestions of advertisements, and posters. The zest and dynamism of such works as Swing Landscape r ...

Instrumental History Of The Drums
... instrumnet gradually increased size, about the 15th century.
It was so often combined in a performance with a fife that these two instrumnets
became closely associated with one another. A fife is a small flute having from
six to eight finger holes and it also has no key, used mainly with drums in
playing marches.
The tenor drum is closely related to the snare drum. It is somewhat larger in
size and it has no snares across its lower skin. This drum is played with sofft
felt covered sticks and it produces a huskier sound. While it is occasionally
used in the orchestra this type of drum is found more frequently in military
marching bands.

Rock Music
... into four sections: Rock of the 50's, of the 60's, of the 70's
and of the 80's. Within these sections I'm also going to discuss several
sub-topics such as famous composers and groups, and characteristics of the
music.
The first section of this essay is Rock n' Roll of the 1950's, when
Rock n' Roll was born. It emerged from rhythm and blues, a music similar to
jazz played by blacks. This kind of music started to attract white
teenagers. Disc jockey Alan Freed was the one who introduced this music and
