his passion for music. His family was very supportive of his choices and career. Roger O'Donnell went to the London College of Printing for Graphic Design he said that he appreciated it almost as much as he appreciated he enjoyed music. O'Donnell was stuck between the choice of college and music, and he chose music because he enjoys that more than anything. This revealed that nothing that O’Donnell tried so far could replace his love and passion for music. Roger O'Donnell's first performance was with Arther Brown. Arthur Brown played rock music from the 60's and was not that popular. Arthur Brown was not well known, he had one hit song which was Fire. When Arthur Brown would perform that song he would wear a helmet with flames coming out of it. But when O'Donnell performed with Brown he did not wear the flaming helmet because he calmed down. After performing with Brown, O'Donnell met Boris Williams. O'Donnell and Williams became close friends and Williams helped O'Donnell with his career. As O'Donnell and Williams got to be closer friends, they performed together and would have sessions every day to play music together. They played with a band called the Flirtations and even went on tour with them. O'Donnell and Williams enjoyed the tour and they both enjoyed making a living from something that they love so much which is being a musician. O'Donnell and Williams eventually grew tired of being with The Flirtations because they slowly stopped making gigs which made it hard for O'Donnell, and Williams to make a living out of it. After the Flirtations, they performed with the band Thompson Twins any they played pop music, and they quickly became successful, and they went on tour with the band too. O'Donnell auditioned for the "show" the TT's and he went on tour with them too in 1983.
O'Donnell and William became bored of performing with the TT's, so O'Donnell left and tried a new thing, filming music videos in Los Angeles which ended in 1985 when he ran out of money. O'Donnell started looking for a job so that he could continue on with his passion of music, and after about a year Boris helped O'Donnell find a job. Simon Gallup was born on June 1st, 1960 in Duxhurst, England, UK. Jason Cooper has been the drummer for The Cure since 1994. The Easy Cure used to be the name of the band that is now known as The Cure. 1976 was when the band started and two years after the band decided to get rid of the “Easy” from their name.

People have goals everyday, believe it or not some people think that dreams aren't worth it. I believe that it is worth it to dream because it gives a person a goal, it makes them feel good, and it makes them stronger. I know this from The Pearl, A Cubs video, the Susan Boyle video, and We Beat the streets.
Their album Cheap Thrills became popular along with the single “Piece of My Heart”. It was one of the most successful albums of 1968 and went on to be awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in October of that year having made over a million dollars in sales. Other songs on the album included “Summertime” and “Ball and Chain”.
The members included Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Larry Van Kriedt, Dave Evans, and Colin Burgess. The people who wanted the most success out of them were Australia’s legendary roadie Ray Arnold and his partner Alan Kissack. The two men convinced “Chequers” entertainment manager Gene Pierson to let the band play at the popular Sydney nightclub in 1973. Colin Burgess was the first member fired, and several bassists and drummers passed through the band the next year. The Young brothers decided that Evans was not a suitable frontman for the group, because they felt he was more of a glam rocker. It was Gene Pierson who arranged for Bon Scott from “Fraternity” to join them as the lead singer. (Paul Sutcliffe, Pg. 34, P.2)
"Pearl Jam is much more than a popular band to the many who look to their emotion-driven music for comfort, solidarity, and a sense of connectedness," noted Guitar Player's Mike Mettler (“Pearl Jam” 1). Pearl Jam was led by their singer Eddie Vedder. Just like other bands Pearl Jam was played for the audience that wasn't quite popular. It was more for the misfit crowd, who latched onto it. Eddie Vedder was a huge part of Pearl Jam, because of his strong vocals, and being able to connect with his audience.
The members of the group are Jimmy Page, born on April 9, 1944, Robert Plant, born on August 24, 1948, John Paul Jones, born on January 3, 1946, and John Bonham born on May 31, 1948.

.... In 1990 Freddie dragged the band back into the studio to record a new album. It was odd to record a new album so quickly after their previous release. The result was an superbly made album. In my opinion it's their finest material. It was released in 1991 and was a success throughout Europe, and reached the top 40 in the U.S. On November 23 Freddie addressed the public telling them of his battle with Aids. The next day he died. No one knows how long he had the disease, but some estimate about five years. The rest of the band decided that no Freddie meant no Queen. Brian, Roger, and John went into the studio together and compiled outakes from past studio albums and produced their final album "Made In Heaven". It was a strong album, and a fitting end to Queen's reign. They will forever be recognized as one of the most influencial bands in music history.

In 19th century 4th decade in this system were around 15 million slaves, a huge work force, which probably was never used by any capitalist organization. However, nobody doubts enormity of labour camps, opposite, it is believed that there were even more ‘starvelings’ as it was such a huge mass that some deads were not even documented. Despite terrible conditions, there are people who managed to survive this dreadful experience. Therefore, it is interesting to look at the stories of exiles to find out how they life changed in labour camps and to explore if it was possible to keep same cultural habits as before exile.
