Scott McKenzie’s “San Francisco” became the song that really kicked off the Summer of Love by enticing people to come to the Monterey Pop Festival June 16-18, 1967. The festival attracted exactly the type of people that were drawn to the Summer of Love, and people flocked to it in masses. “If you're going to San Francisco, Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair, If you're going to San Francisco, You're gonna meet some gentle people there, For those who come to San Francisco, Summertime will
“I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought” (brainyquote.com). Janis Joplin was a musical icon as well as an undeclared feminist leader. Her innovative outlook and lifestyle broke the typical mold of a 1960’s female performer. Joplin made strides for women all across the musical industry and truly embodied the superficial idea of a rock star. Although she died over forty years ago, her legacy will live on for many
several generations. The British version of Are You Experienced? contained a few subtle differences. Most prominent were the absence of "Purple Haze" and the addition of Hendrix standard "Red House". "Purple Haze" caught fire in America after the Monterey Pop Festival and became Jimi's signature song. Although it was said to have endless verses, Jimi generally sang only the shortened version from the album (with a few ad lib changes). The single was sent to radio stations with a note: "This song was

The heart begins racing the moment the car pulls into the airport parking lot. The smell of jet fuel, automobile exhaust, and hot tarmac combine to assault the senses with images of exotic escapes and the kind of freedom that can only come from airports. I feel the thrum of the engines at takeoff and the vibration of the plane during the flight in my skin. I see people listening to MP3s and playing video games. I hear the couple behind me chatting about the weather in Florida and the possibility

The story is set in the early 20th century, immediately following the Depression and World War II. The characters live in Monterey, California amid the jumble of the sardine fisheries, the "Palace Flophouses", Lee Chong's grocery, Dora's whorehouse, and Doc's Biological Lab. Throughout the book, Steinbeck has the uncanny ability to combine his characters' everyday problems with
Fish is a great source of protein and provides people their basic dietary needs on a daily basis. According to the Huffington Post, 1 billion people around the world rely on fish as their man source of protein. But this also comes at a cost. “Due to overfishing, over 70% of the world's fish are either fully exploited or depleted.” Luckily, fish farms have stepped up and have become a major part of how we obtain fish in our diets. They take very little space, they can be controlled, and they provide

this time was John Steinbeck. Born and raised in California, he wrote many novels that were influenced by his childhood backyard and experiences in the Central Valley and Monterey areas. Steinbeck’s short story collection The Long Valley shows Steinbeck’s influence from his childhood home in the settings around the Salinas and Monterey regions in many of the short stories, as well as prominent and common themes such as communion, unfulfilling marriages, and the road to manhood.

Something that is really famous especially in the United States are the Reality Music Competitions. This essay is about The X Factor, The American Idol, and The Voice. The X Factor USA was created by Simon Cowell. The show consists of four main stages. It all starts with the auditions. Any person or band can audition, and if at least half of the judges say yes, then the person goes to next stage, but if they say no, the contestant goes home. The next stage is the bootcamp.

Sam Cooke had a professional Gospel career before becoming known for his smooth soulful style with his secular lyrics and a more Pop sound, a good example of this is Twistin' the night away.

For Soul, the focus on vocals is typical and before singer songwriters were popular, it was the delivery and presentation
impact and Rap artists like Tupac and Biggie were being commercialized mainly because of their on-going West Coast vs. East Coast conflict. In addition to these emerging genres, young children of the nineties (like me) were greatly introduced to dance-pop and boy bands. I vividly remember owning albums by the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and N’Sync. Like musical artists before them, all of these new artists mainly sang about real-life situations that people go through or that they went
Pop music has long been defined by “idols” and superstars that are subjects of high levels of adoration from severely devoted fans, whose love of these superstars often blurs the line between fandom and obsession. This love is mainly based off of physical looks and charm more often than actual musical talent, as majority of the songs written by these massive superstars are not written by the artists themselves, instead by people hired to write for these artists in a way that will best connect with

The sun hung lazily in the sky and Alison gave a relieved smile. She looked around and drank the scene around her. How she enjoyed the sound of the birds that sang around and flew gently above them, as they began to venture on to the secret path. The young Amir had seen her in the distance and came running towards her, his face beaming with excitement as he held his arms out ready to embrace his new friend. Alison held her arms out and smiled happily, as they both hugged gently. “You returned,” Amir
Profanity in pop music has become a major burden on today’s society and is negatively affecting the behavior of the listeners. It does not have a positive message and it tells the listener that doing the wrong ok. It contradicts what the Bible says. Take a look at what was acceptable 40 years ago, and what is considered acceptable today.(Pareles) The lyrics of songs today would cause a riot 40 years ago!
