In 1977, when Fleetwood Mac released their multi-platinum album Rumours, I was 4 years old and far too young to appreciate music. As I entered my mid-20s, I had acquired a passion for music of the 1970s and fell in love with the Eagles, Rush, Led Zeppelin, but most importantly, Fleetwood Mac. Their music had become a part of me. It had developed into my personal therapeutic outlet and helped to keep me sane during any emotional upheaval that I might have been experiencing. It was then that I realized
of music and during the late 70’s and early 80’s, many of the popular bands consisted of only male artists and members. In an era dominated by male artists, Fleetwood Mac featured their lead female singer Stevie Nicks, who went on to transcend the gender expectations of the time and pursue a solo career in the midst of heavy adversity. Fleetwood Mac’s lead singer, Stevie Nicks, is a prime example of the evolution female artists have endured as they struggled to gain equal footing in this male dominated
The song ‘Landslide’, written and performed by Stevie Nicks before she joined the group Fleetwood Mac, is emotionally provocative and unknowingly persuasive to listeners. ‘Landslide’ awakens dormant feelings in its listeners. The soft strumming of the guitar in the background creates the soothing timbre of the song that draws listeners that want to be relaxed. Furthermore, when combined with the southern drawl of Nicks’ calming voice it delivers an important life-changing message, invoking a serene
As a child I always dreamt of being able to do many different kinds of flips. When I would close my eyes I saw my future self running on the football field flipping over every defensive player that tried to tackle me. I would run into the in zone with some epic final flip for the touchdown and the crowd would go wild. Okay let's get back to reality here. Childhood dreams are often kicked to the curb and forgotten because “reality” isn’t that much fun. I never got the training or coaching that I
Miss Misery” by Elliott Smith- This is the first track I selected, as it seems to be inspiration for at least the title of the book. The song fits very nicely with the first few chapters as David’s girlfriend, Amy, leaves for The Hague. The song has a theme similar to that of Miss Misery, but not close enough that I would say it served as inspiration for the book. “Well Respected Man” by The Kinks- I chose this song to reflect David’s view of himself at the beginning of the book. David goes on

mimic the basic idea of its predecessors, the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. The idea that the people of the time weren’t about fighting and violence; they were all about loving oneself, loving one another, and most importantly, loving the music. Mick Jagger, the Rolling Stones lead singer, expresses his views on what they believe will be what people will conceive from this festival, he states, “Its creating a sort of a microcosmic society…it sets an example to the rest of America, as to how one
“Look to these fields and you’ll see then thousand little fires burning through the alfalfa. Fires burning in the hearts and minds coming together. The children of the stars come here to drink from the wisdom that grows here, grows from the gathering of souls.” -Terry Maness What could such a compelling statement be about? Woodstock Music Festival, or otherwise known as the greatest music festival of the counter-culture era; but only four short months later, the music died, all thanks to Altamont

Will They Survive or Nahhh!! In William Golding 's Lord Of The Flies numerous themes are presented to give us readers something to think about. Despite the fact that the group of boys stranded on the island got saved at the end of the novel, Golding 's main theme is that there is no hope for mankind, and that evil is an inborn trait of mankind. We constantly see this theme throughout the novel when the boys, split into two different tribes, participate in the death of Simon, and lastly we see this

We spend an unnecessary amount of time trying to perfect our physical appearance: we are filled with disgust towards our imperfections and chose to conceal them through unnatural techniques. Why are we ashamed of our flaws—something that is natural? The animosity we feel towards ourselves is caused by the way the media choses to glamorize the “perfect” individual. The “perfect” individual is shown as the true form of beauty; however, it does not accurately portray the true citizen of society. The

I had been eagerly contemplating this trip to Hollywood for quite some time. Picturing the gritty world famous Roxy on Sunset complete with Hollywood decadence and history had been an ongoing fascination for me ever since New York rock and roll celebrity Bebe Buell had invited me out to the west coast to cover her debut at the room. A sort of East Coast Rocker goes west if you will. The “UN- Shoreworld.” Funny that this would be her first show at The Roxy as she pretty much ruled the Sunset strip
