Johnny Cade did not kill unlawfully and also he can’t apply for a minor committing the crime because he’s 16, one year over the limit. According to Oklahoma law, first-degree murder is a person “unlawfully and with malice aforethought causes the death of another human being.” It is also not manslaughter because it is not a homicide committed without a design to effect death and in the heat of passion, but in a cruel and unusual manner, or by means of a dangerous weapon. Johnny did not have time to think and had to stab Bob to save Ponyboy’s life. Ponyboy was being drowned and to save him, Johnny had to commit the act of homicide. It lists that it was a justifiable homicide because it means that homicide is legal when committed in the lawful

Andrew Johnson was born December 29, 1808 in a North Carolina cabin. Andrew's father died when he was a young boy, and his mother quickly remarried. His mother and her new husband forced fourteen-year-old Andrew and his older brother William to a local tailoring job. After working a number of years in the tailoring business, the boys ran away for several years, dodging rewards for their capture placed by their mother and stepfather. Andrew returned to his mother, and the entire family moved to Greeneville, Tennessee. (Elizabeth R. Varon, 2013)

Looking back in this era of history, the United States had just emerged out of one of its darkest moments this country has seen to this day. Not only was Andrew Johnson thrust into the seat of the presidency almost immediately after the Civil War, but was also tasked with the more difficult decision of the Confederate Reconstruction. Furthermore, the expectations everyone held him to, were more or less shot down with his conflicting beliefs between the House and the Senate in regards to the Reconstruction debate.

When someone thinks of Son House, the first thing that should come into their mind is blues. He had his fair share of issues in his lifetime but he has overcome them and achieved so much. He has had 14 albums, which stand out. His most popular era was in the 1930’s when he recorded his biggest hits with Paramount Records, “My Black Mama’ and “Preachin’ Blues.” That was one of his biggest contributions and really defined the blues. He was a very special man, with a powerful voice and an unbelievable guitarist. He may

In this paper, I am going to discuss my experiences playing in the WNE, the bass guitar, and the one and only Willie Nelson. In the legendary WNE, I am the bass player. For this project, it took hours on end of studying the bass inside and out to become this legendary player that I dreamt of before this project. The electric bass, a mystical object that is the foundation of every song, was invented by Paul Tutmarc. Since the 1960s the bass guitar has replaced other instruments

On August 27, 1908, Lyndon Baines Johnson was born to Sam and Rebekah Johnson.; he was the first of their five children.

Lyndon’s father, Sam Johnson, had won the election to the Texas legislature and he served five terms before he switched careers and became a farmer. He had a very strong relationship with his mother, Rebekah Johnson.

Destitute, rejected, and alone Robert Johnson seems to be in complete despair when singing “Crossroad Blues.” Robert is acknowledged as “The King of Delta Blues.” Born in Mississippi and known as a dirt poor African-American boy. (Robert Johnson Blues Foundation) he was recognized for his great lyrics, guitar playing and upmost contribution to artists. Robert’s songs and lyrics still live on today in artists such as; The Rolling Stones, that recorded “Love in Vain” and Stop Breaking Down, Cream, who recorded “Cross Road Blue” (renamed Crossroad), Fleetwoord Mac who recorded “Hellhound on my Trail.” (Charlton 7) Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and the Allman Brothers, also great entertainers, recorded his songs (Robert Johnson Blues Foundation).

The artist I have chosen for this project is John Roger Stephens, also known as John Legend. Born on December 28, 1978 in Springfield Ohio, John showed musical potential at an early age. His grandmother taught him to play his first instrument, which was the piano. He grew up playing and singing in his church’s choir. His talent at that age was amazing, labelling him a child prodigy. Growing up, he listened to music from Michael Jackson, LL Cool J, Boyz II Men, and MC Hammer, very influential African American artists. They were able to change the way people viewed African Americans with their music, and make the world a more accepting place. John knew that he wanted to become a vocalist, and was determined to make his dream

A lesson all musicians learn. It brings to mind Dawes' line "I think that some of us still belong out on the road" and Bob Dylan's quote about make a deal with the guy upstairs about touring "a long time ago." The evidence points to musicians and touring as not only a relationship but the only long term one most ever have. Any person who has been in a long term relationship or read a book about one (I.e. my current read - Juliet, Naked) knows there are certain ups and downs that come with time.

“The Beatles shift towards more introspective songwriting in the 60’s would never have happened without him” [V.Bogdanov, 2002]. Artists such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Patti Smith, Joni Mitchell and Tom Waits all acknowledge the profound impact Dylan had on the industry and themselves as artists. “Bob Dylan, I'll never be Bob Dylan. He's the master. If I'd like to be anyone, it's him. And he's a great writer, true to his music and done what he feels is the right thing to do for years and years and years. He's great. He's the one I look to”. [Neil Young, 2005]. Dylan encapsulated a generations hunger for change, challenged the social and political status quo but interestingly seemingly rejected this status after receiving the ‘Tom Paine Award’ from the National Emergency and Civil Liberties Committee he drunkenly questioned the role of the committee and claimed to see something of himself and everyone in JFK’s alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald [Andrew Loog Olham, 2005]. In 1965 The Byrds cover of his song Mr. Tambourine Man helped to propel not only The Byrds to super stardom but established the folk rock genre. [V.Bogdanov, 2002]. His verbal sophistication drew comparison to the romantic poets and much literary criticism artists still strive to attain today. His launch of Theme Time Radio Hour for XM Satellite Radio helped him to establish
