The Assassination Of John Lennon

After listening to the song, I can automatically tell what the message of the song is that Lennon is portraying, and that is world peace. Lennon does an amazing job establishing his credibility in this song, thus creating credibility within his audience, credibility is part of Ethos. Throughout his musical career right up until his death in 1980, Lennon was heavily involved in peace activities. During his musical career he was part of the world famous Beatles, and this gained him world fame and allowed for his messages to be heard across the world. Lennon created even more Ethos for himself in a controversial album, where he posed naked with his wife, Yoko Ono, in there bed. This showed his fan base and the world that he was truly devoted to peace and love. Without his famous involvement in the Beatles, Lennon would never have gained his spotlight in the world allowing for his messages of peace and love to be heard. His ethos was within his people, not where he got his ideas. Lennon felt what the world felt, and thus his credibility.

The incident of JFK assassination is one of the biggest events in the United States of America, and so many of myths and theories are discussed and examined by tons of people who are professional and amateur in any kinds of fields. Even if the Warren Commission adjudicated the JFK assassination was done by only Lee Harvey Oswald, there are significant amount of eyewitnesses that we cannot just ignore are testified and mentioned something about the second sniper which make the people believe that the theory of Gracy Knoll is very logical and beliebable. Still now, almost all people who are interested in the JFK assassination think and assume that there was a second sniper, and the second sniper shot President Kennedy’s head and killed.

President Kennedy’s assassination is one of America’s most fascinating and infamous conspiracies. Though we still do not know who is actually responsible, evidence points towards the communistic Cubans as being the killers of our nation’s young president. Even Lyndon B. Johnson, the President inaugurated after Kennedy’s death said, “I’ll tell you something about Kennedy’s murder that will rock you…Kennedy was trying to get Castro, but Castro got to him first.” President Kennedy’s mysterious assassination can be revealed through the political assassin Herminio Diaz Garcia, the German film Rendezvous with Death and the Cuban mobster Santo Trafficante’s allegations as these prove the Cubans were the ones responsible for the theft of President

For example Janis Joplin passed away due to a drug overdose and there was a shooting at Kent State University killing both student protesters and bystanders. Even the name “Woodstock” is now a highly profitable name. There are to this day movies and documentaries still being made about this monumental event. At the end of the 1960’s traditional Rock n Roll developed into psychedelic music. “Every decade is important not only for the accomplishments of senior political, business and other leaders, but also for the activities and dreams of the youth, molders of tomorrow.” (Bacon) This quote really shows how Woodstock changed the decade through activities and youth, not only through politics and business. Woodstock is known to have closed the decade from rage, reform and violence. (Bacon) “The celebrated music and art fair was the punctuation point of the decade”. (Kopper) Woodstock ended the decade of violence and created a clean slate for the

There have been many people, known as artists, who have tried to change the world through their art. “Art” can be paintings, music, dances, sculptures, literature, or photography. There are many ways to communicate and express ones feelings but The Beatles did it through their popular music. Although they didn’t focus on changing the world of politics or try to protest through their music they have songs that focus on those exact two things.

The unrest of the 1960s reached a boiling point in 1968, a year that can be considered the most turbulent year in American history. The tumultuous events that took place in 1968 effectively transformed the face of the nation in every aspect; economically, socially, and politically. Failed military tactics, assassinations, and violent civil rights movements were the defining characteristics of 1968. Despite the few good things that came out of that year, much of 1968 was dedicated to rebuilding the country, tragedy after tragedy. The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, involvement in the Vietnam War, and escalating civil rights movements are a few of the quintessential events that contributed to

On November 22, 1963, the 35th president of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas where he was campaigning for the next presidential election. John F. Kennedy, born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts lead a short, but effective presidency where his goal was “a world of law and free choice, banishing the world of war and coercion. His administration thus saw the beginning of new hope for both the equal rights of Americans and the peace of the world.” Some would say that he was one of the most loved presidents in the history of the United State of America, which raises the question, why would someone assassinate John F. Kennedy? And better yet, who would assassinate

There is no absolute, 100 percent clear evidence that proves Lee Harvey Oswald’s guilt or innocence of the assassination of President Kennedy (JFK,) but there is much evidence that points towards his innocence, or the fact that he was not the lone gunman to kill Kennedy. Being established a week after the assassination, on the 29th of November 1963, the Warren Commission, after a year long investigation and a singular report, concluded that Oswald had acted alone in assassinating President Kennedy, but there are many sources that attest to the faults in the Warren Commission’s report that prove otherwise, including the Single-Bullet Theory, and Oswald’s capability with the rifle. Reinforced by the controversy that arose, the evidence clearly points towards the fact that either Oswald is innocent, or he did not act alone in the assassination of President Kennedy.

We often see too much gun related violence in today’s news. Throughout the years we have seen a large increase of shootings in the United States. According to the Huffington Post, from January 2013 to October 2015 there has been 994 shootings out of the 1,004 days. It is no doubt that we are in living in a society where these shootings are becoming a repeated occurrence. This is a highly controversial topic

In light of the mass shooting in Umpqua, Oregon earlier this month, President Obama 's sobering remarks made a crucial point about the nature of Gun Violence in the United States. He remarked, "Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response here at this podium ends up being routine, the conversation in the aftermath of it ... We have become numb to this." As of this day, the United States has a little over one mass shooting every day. It occurs so frequently that people go back to their regular lives after the heavy media coverage is over, only to be outraged once it happens again a week or a month later. Consequently, this problem and the general public sentiment about it has become a stain on the face of this

3 Assignment 1 Timbre is what allows a listener to distinguish between two different sounds. It allows the listener to recognize the difference between different songs, such as ABC (The Jackson 5) (1970), and Back in Black (AC/DC) (1980). It also enables the listener to decipher a variety of notes in a piece of music, and even recognize individuals by the sound of their voice.

On October 1, 2015, members of Congress and presidential candidates tweeted their “thoughts and prayers” for the victims and their families of yet another mass shooting in the United States. This may soothe their consciences but, as President Obama pointed out immediately following the tragedy, “It does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted somewhere else in America.” Considering the frequency of gun violence, words of sympathy from politicians who are not working to pass gun control reform are meaningless and insulting to the American people.

Believe it or not, on January 1st of 1962, the group known as The Beatles flunked their audition at Decca Records in London, England. The label’s executive, Dick Rowe, brushed them off like they were nothing. He simply stated that “guitar groups are on the way out.” Little did Rowe know, The Beatles would soon conquer modern society and alter the course of pop and rock music. There have been no other entertainers in the history of music that has been so popular, influential, or as groundbreaking as The Beatles. In the early 1960’s, their popularity was often called “Beatlemania,” as thousands of screaming fans would crowd their concerts and sing-along with the Fab Four. They sold over 600 million albums internationally and had 20 Number One hit singles – a Billboard record that has yet to be broken. The band took over the entertainment media with music videos and films, but also influenced sociocultural, political, and fashion movements throughout the sixties and seventies. From experimenting with several different genres to incorporating classical elements into their melodies, The Beatles still reigns as one of the most creative and successful bands several decades later. Today, fifty years later, The Beatles and their music are still engraved in the hearts of many.

John Lennon’s song “Imagine” was released in October 1971. Imagine was the most successful single that Lennon produced and is perhaps the best song in music history for its strong message. He wrote this song during the climax of the Vietnam War as an anti-war song. At this time in history peace movements were popular because of all the wars happening that involved the country and its people. His song is timeless as its message still applies today. It is true that everyone wants peace, but this picture Lennon illustrates is a fantasy. The song Imagine is a fantasy imagination of John Lennon that pushes the ideology of communism through its resemblance to an unrealistic society.
