I have chosen to write about one of my favorite alternative rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers from Los Angeles, California. My decision was based upon two things; one being I like the band, while the other was to learn if some of their music is sending the wrong message to our young people. I personally would not consider myself music sappy; never have I really been given a chance to listen to music as I grew up, to find what I like. As of today, I don’t know who sings what song nor really know what the lyric’s mean. With today’s environment young people are given a chance to be inspired by different kinds of media; thus giving them the opportunity to actually find out what the artist is meaning behind the songs. After interviewing four participation;

Music is part of everyday life and serves as the center of many cultures across the world. Music brings out the best parts of a movie, a car ride, or even a special event. The purpose of music varies from artist to artist and different cultures. Every piece of music carries a unique message, but a song, in particular, carries meaning. “Runaway Love” by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige, exploits the struggles of young girls by using rhetorical techniques, such as pathos, ethos, logos, tone, and visual rhetoric throughout the music video to raise national awareness about youth runaways.
When the 1980s rolled around I was finishing university. I was still sad that my high school years were behind me and nostalgic about the music I enjoyed while growing up. During this time in Los Angeles, California started a new musical trend known as “glam rock”. It blew in with bands such as Motley Crue performing in the clubs around the city. Pretty much this kind of music was either you liked it or you didn’t care for it. However a band changed all that by showing a different side to his music that was a tender side.
This reference shows how music lays a foundation of teenage values beyond school or parental teaching. A musical artist can influence a young mind by the chosen lyrics with greater effectiveness than formal education. Music can control or enhance moods. A good mood can get better or a bad mood can be worked through with the choice of music. A bad mood can also be enhanced by lyrics about suicide or violent behavior. Teens can also use music to gain information about the adult world, to withdraw from social contact, facilitate friendships and social settings, or to help them create a personal identity.

“You’ve got the sun, you’ve got the moon, and you’ve got The Rolling Stones” Long raggied hair moves across the stage and the shimmer of sweat rolls down their cheeks, while the funky collars take their place as the 5 men inhale the roaring crowd and they step foot to make history. The Rolling Stones were a widely known rock band during the 1960s, and they were extensively known for their scruffy long hair and unique voices. Despite being known for their sense of style and musical talents, their lyrics are what really touched the people. They wrote about deep emotions, political, and societal issues of the 1960s.
The Rolling Stones were the Justin Bieber of their time. They were very successful as a rock band and gained a lot of popularity throughout the 1960s. In addition, the Rolling Stones were known for their long hair, their bad boy reputation, and their signature style, which were their casual modified suits. The Rolling Stones was the most popular rock band during the 1960s, because they are the first rock band that hasn’t broken apart yet, they were successful and sold more than 200 million albums, and they were dubbed the “World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.”
Exactly six months to the day before Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, Radiohead released their eerily prescient and hypnotic ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool, to great fanfare. Nothing could have foretold the future more than the lyrics to the opening song, “Burn the Witch”: “Abandon all reason / avoid all eye contact / this is a low-flying panic attack.” Backed by a repetitive and sawing string arrangement and an equally disturbing music video, it’s one of the most overtly political songs Radiohead has ever done, as well as one of their all-time best. The following track, “Daydreaming” is nearly as good, with vocal loops and mournful piano reminiscent of Radiohead’s very best work from 2000’s Kid A. The final minute

Hard at work in my room I was contemplating how to start my research paper off with a “BANG!”. When I realized, Pink Floyd’s music usually starts very slow and low. Without missing a beat, I picked up my acoustic guitar and began lightly strumming the intro to “wish you were here”. The light tones swept me to my high school years and brought back memories of movies, road trips accompanied by music such as this, music everyone can sing to, music that everyone can relate to. Then just as quickly as I was swept away, I was eerily back in my room where I was writing this paper. When I thought “what was roger waters thinking while writing the lyrics, and how did the unused sessions of the collaborated written music
Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes spoke out on gun control in an emotional interview.”Did your French gun control stop a single [expletive] person from dying at the Bataclan? And if anyone can answer yes, I’d like to hear it, because I don’t think so. I think the only thing that stopped it was some of the bravest men that I’ve ever seen in my life charging head-first into the face of death with their firearms."Hughes has returned to Paris, saying he feels a "sacred" responsibility to finish the band's show that was interrupted by gunfire, but adds that the terror attacks haven't changed his view on guns.Islamic extremists massacred 89 people at the band's Nov. 13 performance at the Bataclan, which has been closed since the attacks
On November 14, the Eagles of Death Metal's set at the Bataclan club in Paris was cut short by horrible violence. Those shots, fired by ISIS-affiliated terrorists, silenced music in the city of lights for days afterwards. It diverted big name acts like Foo Fighters and Prince away from the continent. Only now is the music slowly returning.
A passion for foods from the American Southwest is sweeping through the country.

For most people, however, their knowledge stops here. Through this paper I hope to educate the reader on some other aspects of this intriguing vegetable, such as its history, chemistry, and uses.
