The Grateful Dead Heads Analysis

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;

The skinhead style was not only influenced by music but also obtain extremely strong messages or values and was often related to crime and

Rock and roll helped break many people out of the pre-war mindset and into a new, fresh one. Although many adults detested rock, the younger generation felt that it symbolized a break from the war and the “age of anxiety” that the previous World War had caused. In addition, it promoted a promiscuous lifestyle that celebrated sex and drugs. Rock and roll seemed to be associated with this because many of the “rock stars” endorsed in a loose and laidback standard of living. Because many of the performers practiced recreational drug use, followers felt compelled to do so as well, feeling that that way of life was acceptable. Rock and roll was thought to be outlandish, primarily because of the performers’ gyrating and grinding of their hips, their suggestive lyrics, and rebellious undertones that provoked erotic senses in teenagers and upset parents. Rock and roll was said to establish a sense of identity and power in teenagers, mostly because of the new energy that came from the new style of music. Rock music was seen as satanic by the older generation because it seemed to lead to the

Night of the Living Dead (Romero, 1968) is a movie that contains a large amount of historical significance. This movie is well known for its incredible relevance to the year that it was released. The movie has been described as “A Newsreel of 1968”, and there is ample reason to make that statement. The year 1968 was a very tumultuous period in American history that saw a great deal of violence overseas and in the United States itself. There were many history altering events that took place during 1968, which would all serve to rile up and instill fear and anger in the American people. 1968 saw the latest presidential election in which there was great division amongst the parties, and was the election in which Robert Kennedy was assassinated. Not only did that year see the assassination of another Kennedy, but it also bore witness to the assassination of the most prominent civil rights leader of the time, Martin Luther King Jr. With these tragedies a war in Vietnam raged which had riled much of the country into protest, especially young people.

Yesterday, Pearl Jam were (rightfully) nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame next year, in their first year of eligibility.

The Grateful Dead was a band that toured continuously for 30 years until the death of lead man Jerry Garcia. They were known for free flowing jams and bluegrass roots. Phish is a band that has toured consistently for the last 17 years and has in time made themselves into stealth multi-millionaires. Both are very talented bands, who have and in the Dead's case, had, created big names for themselves. Many people make wrongful association with these two groups of musicians. It is said that Phish is trying to be the Dead of this generation. This statement is very untrue. Phish is not a Grateful Dead take-off. Phish and the Dead have much more differences than similarities. There are of course a few similarities between

Tyler Thigpen introduces the Cajun Summer Camp at Lakeview Park and Beach through the article "Saturday Night at the Zydeco". Cajun Summer Camp was established in 1960s, and reborn 2003 when current owner purchased the camp. Thigpen delivers the owners' effort to manage the camp, and conserve the visitors' valuable memories. Thigpen builds the article around the interview with the camp owners, Kyzar, Laura Pitre and Lance Pitre, who are directly associated with the camp; the article is considered bias due to the respondent of the interview.

Night of the Living Disappointment. When searching for a skin crawling horror movie do not expect zombie history to be your go to search. “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) is opinionated to be the zombie movie that descended into what we have today, but it does not do this title justice. The audio, sound effects, editing, special effects, acting, and much more can leave you feeling annoyed and regretting the time you wasted watching it. So before you sit down with a bucket of buttery fluffy goodness and expect to watch an old and horror filled zombie tale, take a few minutes to find out why you should not.

The 1968 cult classic, Night of the Living Dead, begins under the credits with brother and sister Johnny (Russell Streiner) and Barbara (Judith O’Dea) bickering about the long journey to rural Pennsylvania after arriving at a secluded cemetery to leave flowers on their father’s grave at their mother’s request. As they make their way back to the car, Johnny begins to tease Barbara. “They’re coming to get you, Barbara… They’re coming for you… Look, there’s one now!” A staggering, pale-faced figure (S. William Hinzman) approaches the two siblings and attacks Barbara. When Johnny comes to her rescue, he is killed during the struggle

The emergence of Rock and Roll was one of the most pivotal moments of our nation’s history. The impact that this genre of music made is still evident in our culture. However, before this genre was able to gain momentum, it faced many cultural conflicts. The book, All Shook Up: How Rock ‘N’ Roll Changed America by Glenn C. Altschuler analyzes the impact that rock and roll music has made on American culture. It explores how the Rock and Roll culture was able to roughly integrate and later conflict with preceding cultural values. This is especially apparent in chapters regarding race and sexuality. Overall, Rock and Roll was extremely controversial amongst parents and educators. This new music genre was condemned by the previous generation as

Throughout history there have been many musical "influences". One extremely important influence to modern music is The Grateful Dead.

In 1967 the Beatles were in Abbey Road Studios putting the finishing touches on their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. At one point Paul McCartney wandered down the corridor and heard what was then a new young band called Pink Floyd working on their hypnotic debut, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. He listened for a moment, then came rushing back. "Hey guys," he reputedly said, "There's a new band in there and they're gonna steal our thunder." With their mix of blues, music hall influences, Lewis Carroll references, and dissonant experimentation, Pink Floyd was one of the key bands of the 1960s psychedelic revolution, a pop culture movement that emerged with American and British rock,

The Monkees band was started in 1966 by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider. Bob and Bert were influenced by the huge success of The Beatles Films A Hard Day's Night and Help. They wanted to copy what the Beatles did into a TV show. “They envisioned a show built around a real rock and roll band whose members would play themselves” (Pendergast 854). And in 1965 Bob and Bert put out an ad for a band called The Monkees. Over 400 people responded to the ad seeking young men (The Monkees 1). Out of the 400 people, David Jones, George Michael, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork were chosen for their cute looks adequate acting skills and above average pop-singing abilities (Pendergast 854). The show was extremely successful.

before I begin, I am not a fan of 5sos. but, I am not bashing them or saying negative things about them because of the fact that I am not a fan. if I was a fan I would feel the same way. in fact, as a feminist, I would even say I would be more disappointed if I were a fan; having 4 people I looked up to be not as they seemed. (michael and ashton didn’t really bother me in this article though, mosty calum & luke.)

The Dead's ideals were always about music, and at this time they were also pursuing a group mind through the use of LSD, which was still legal at
