As a co-writer and producer, Brown has worked to develop many of the artists we have come to know today. Performers such as, Rick Barry, Status Green, Corey Wagar, Jerzy Jung, Natalie Stovall, Alex Brumel, and Andrew Holtz have all come to know his commitment to songwriting quite well, with some gaining major momentum because of it. His long career has seen him go thru several major label recording deals and at least three distinct publishing deals. He has achieved song placements in TV and film, and working with great producers and mentors like Danny Kortchmar (Don Henley, James Taylor, Rod Stewart), Peter Collins (Jewel, Rush, Indigo Girls), Monty Powell (Keith Urban, Lady A, Diamond Rio) and others that he’s no doubt picked up a few tricks from over the years.
Millions of Jews, gypsies, disabled, and Slavic people brutally died because of the Holocaust. Between Shades of Gray and Night both are daunting stories about people who had to go through the struggles of prejudice. These two novels have characters that are related in some aspects and distinct in others. The characters I find the most alike are Lina and Elie, Ona and Mrs. Schächter, and Elena and Shlomo. Lina and Elie are alike by loving and defending their families. Likewise, Ona and Mrs. Schächter are alike by how they react to the harsh events. Finally, Elena and Shlomo are alike by being strong in a time of crisis. These character’s traits are slightly different, but mostly alike.
When individuals face obstacles in life, there is often two ways to respond to those hardships: some people choose to escape from the reality and live in an illusive world. Others choose to fight against the adversities and find a solution to solve the problems. These two ways may lead the individuals to a whole new perception. Those people who decide to escape may find themselves trapped into a worse or even disastrous situation and eventually lose all of their perceptions and hops to the world, and those who choose to fight against the obstacles may find themselves a good solution to the tragic world and turn their hopelessness into hopes. Margaret Laurence in her short story Horses of the Night discusses the idea of how individual’s responses

I have always said the only thing I miss of a past girlfriend is her collection of Barenaked Ladies albums. After recreating her collection for myself, I learned that a new album was on the way. Maroon -- the band's sixth album is filled with 12 brand new songs with enough quirkiness and pop that will forever be the marks of the Barenaked Ladies (BNL). To my surprise Don Was, a Grammy Award winning producer whose name was also on my B-52's and Rolling Stones albums, produced this album. This pop-infused CD displays the BNL's signature of happy, jangly, tunes filled with sarcasm, irony, truth and passion embedded into every song that brings out old memories to everyone.
The song, “Bright Lights Bigger City” by the “neo-soul” artist CeeLo Green, the song gives off the atmosphere and mood of a typical club in the real world or even a soundtrack of what your life could be as you walking through the well-lit city on a weeknight living into the moment as if it were your last. The genre despite it being classified as the new style “neo-soul” takes similar harmonies and effects to that of the “electric” and “pop” genres as to better improve its overall sound and cater to both its intended audience and unbiased listeners alike. The title “Bright Lights Bigger city” gives us, the listen...
The ground is frozen, parents sob over their children, stomachs growl, stiff bodies huddle together to stay slightly warm. This was a recurrent scene during World War II. Night is a literary memoir of Elie Wiesel’s tenure in the Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel created a character reminiscent of himself with Eliezer. Eliezer experienced cruelty, stress, fear, and inhumanity at a very young age, fifteen. Through this, he struggled to maintain his Jewish faith, survive with his father, and endure the hardships placed on his body and mind.
The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters main goal was to help gain equal opportunities for African Americans in the workplace as well as in American society (Tuttle). They wanted to achieve higher wages, shorter working hours, self-determination, fairness, and dignity for African Americans (Morales). According to Morales, a porter would receive $25.00 for more than 80 hours of work, which was low, even for the early 1920s. Porters had to work over 400 in a month or for 11,000 miles, depending on which ever came first to receive any overtime pay. Asa Philip Randolph was approached by Ashley Totten, a union organizer and veteran Pullman porter, and was asked to lead the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Randolph reluctantly agreed (Morales).
Orphan trains and Carlisle and the ways people from the past undermined the minorities and children of America. The film "The orphan Trains" tells us the story of children who were taken from the streets of New York City and put on trains to rural America. A traffic in immigrant children were developed and droves of them teamed the streets of New York (A People's History of the United States 1492-present, 260). The streets of NYC were dirty, overcrowded, and dangerous. Just as street gangs had female auxiliaries, they also had farm leagues for children (These are the Good Old Days, 19). During the time of the late 1800's and early 1900's many people were trying to help children. Progressive reformers, often called "child saver," attempted to curb exploitation of children (The American Promise, 834). One of the people who was obsessed with the plight of children was a man named Charles Brace. He created the NY "Children's Aid Society". This was a program that was best known for "Orphan Trains". In 1853, Brace founded this society to arrange trips, raise the money, and obtain legal permission needed for relocation (the Orphan trains, 1). The reaction to the orphan trains were both positive and negative.

Stevie Ray Vaughan is a legend and was a leading figure in the blues-rock genre. Vaughan was born in Dallas, Texas in October of 1954.

(Simon, 2001) When he played he demanded the audience’s attention and had a sound of blues meets Jimi Hendrix. (Wenner, 2011) His fame was based mainly in central Texas.

Each single gives a fair representation of what the rest of the album is like. While the album is definitely more blues than psychedelic, many of the songs have a few psychedelic touches, like the sitar-like sound in “Dance The Night Away”. The most psychedelic songs on the album are the singles “SWLABR” and “Tales Of Brave Ulysses”; The lyrics to “SWLABR” make little sense, and discuss a woman who is like a bearded rainbow, “You’ve got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard”. “The Tale Of Ulysses” lyrics don’t make much sense either; they just describe a fantastical land with mermaids and Aphrodite. While the instruments used aren’t specifically psychedelic, the wah-wah guitar, fuzz box, electric guitar, and drums work well together to give each song a rocky psychedelic
