The song “Landslide” performed by Fleetwood Mac has been a piece of my life for as long as I can remember. I recall my sisters and I sitting at our kitchen table in Orlando reciting the words to the song as easily as reading a book. Once we moved to Connecticut, this song still stayed apart of our lives and I have continued to listen to this song consistently to this day. Over the years, the meaning of the song has adapted to what I was going on to in life. As I grew older, the song gained more

“Both Sides Now” was a song written by Joni Mitchell but first recorded by Judy Collins, a folk singer, in the Album WildfFlowers, in 1967. The version created by Judy Collins was a top-ten hit on the U.S. singles chart during the fall of 1968. A year later, Joni Mitchell produced the album Clouds in which “Both sides, now” was included.

For a period of time prince did not play his own music. Benny Medina, VP of A&R for Warner Brothers at the time, believed that this was apart of his protest against the record label. “Prince was a really unique person who was not going to be

In order to limit exchanging music, record companies want to make hardware and software to prevent music from being copied. But this would prevent people from copying their own music.

There are two kinds of record labels; independent and major. Independent labels are usually owned by major labels. For example, Warner Brothers Records (major) owns Reprise Records (indie).
