Since I’m driving, Chloe looks at my phone for me, “Ew. Why is Dylan calling you? More importantly, why do you still have his number?” Dylan is one of my infamous exes; we dated for a year and a half back when I was in the height of my hit-it-and –quit-it phase. He shared my philosophy on relationships, and we were extremely public and extremely volatile; the media ate us up. We were basically a (slightly) classier version of Britney and Kevin Federline. Dylan was one of the only hearts I didn’t

Jeremy Loops played at the Studio at Webster Theater on Wednesday, June 24th. I have to start by saying that I have never been to a show with more positive and supportive energy. While the venue is fairly small, it was packed and every person in the audience was thrilled to be there. Jeremy Loops comes from Cape Town, South Africa—as did many people in the audience. Fans at the show were waving South African flags and t-shirts. The cultural pride was unbelievable and unexpected at such an intimate

For the music industry, Simon and Garfunkel, musical rock artists during this time, wrote “Sound of Silence” in 1966. This song displayed sequences of guitar, bass, and drums and quickly became a pop hit due to the increased tempo, in which Simon and Garfunkel only found out about after it was recorded. Coming into the 70s, San Francisco Rock became apparent. It was the alternative scene which was developed in San Francisco. This alternative rock music was a combination of folk, rock, blue, and

of them got whipped every day or worked until they could barely walk, knowing that they had to get up and do it again. “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our mind. Have no fear for atomic energy. I think that Bob Marley wanted the listeners to understand that they suffered through everything but still kept faith. I believe that the intended audience is the slaves or the men with the slaves. The message is to have no fear and have faith

David Livingstone was born in early 1813, to parents of low position in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, and grew up with several siblings in a single tenement room. His father was a passionate member of a missionary society, he taught a Protestant Sunday school where he took a literal interpretation of the Bible. However, this was not enough to sustain a life any higher than that of poverty. Due to this Livingstone had to work 14 hours a day in a local cotton mill from the age of 10 to 26

What did you think? I enjoyed Ziggy Marley And The Melody Makers - Tomorrow People. The beat was mellow yet still upbeat. The song is quite different from tunes here in the United States. It was filled with a lot of emotion. Reggae is a music genre originated from Jamaica during the late 1960s. As stated by Britannica, “It was widely perceived as a voice of the oppressed.” It’s very common for music to be used as an escape or call to action. Consequently, the song’s lyrics although simple are laced

In 1966, when it was reported that John Lennon claimed that the Beatles were bigger than God, outrage ensued and they became boycotted throughout the United States. 50 years and 600 million albums sold later, most music enthusiasts and what one could consider Classic Rock junkies would not hesitate to agree with the statement. Like much of the religious public that boycotted the Beatles during the "Bigger than Jesus" controversy, their fans assemble as a cult and turn fiercely defensive when the

The Life of Bob Marley Although he may not have got to reach his full potential because of his death from melanoma at 36, Bob Marley’s legacy still lives on to this day. From being a poor child since birth to becoming a million dollar superstar, his life took a complete 180 degree turn. With his Rastafarian roots & tragic death, Bob’s journey was definitely one to follow and one millions will never forget. Early Years Born on February 6th, 1945 in St. Ann Parish Jamaica, his original name was Nesta
