1932. At the time of Clyde’s first involvement with a murder, people paid little attention to the event. He was just another violent hoodlum in a nation with a growing list of brutal criminals, which included Al Capone, John Dillenger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and the Barker Gang.

Both "Pretty Boy Crossover" and "Flowers of Edo" share a similar and resounding theme. People are afraid of change, death, being left out, and not knowing things. People would rather choose to evade these realities, or even decide to escape them by doing suicide. They do whatever it takes to fit in, to be worshipped, and to be immortal. They do all of this in order to maintain their sanity, because they can't accept being outcast, or can't accept death. People would rather do what's popular instead

If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality”. -James Baldwin.

In this topical essay, I will be comparing and contrasting three popular and unique songs. These songs are Woody Guthrie's "Pretty Boy Floyd", Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff", and Body Count's "Cop Killer.” Even though these songs are different in a number of ways, all of these songs musically illustrate a violent altercation between a citizen and representative of government/law enforcement. This is important to note as because each song evokes different emotions from the listener. The two things
civilians looked at the bank robbers as an act of revenge on the banks. The famous bank robbers of the 1930s were not from areas they were known to rob. For the most part, some of the bank robbers consisted of John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, and Baby Face Nelson. Many of these men and women had younger criminal activity. They came from all over the United States. John Dillinger came from Indianapolis Indiana. He was known to be one of, if not the most famous bank
Picture yourself in the great depression. Banks are failing, people are getting laid off, and crime is growing across the country. Many names, such as “Pretty Boy” Floyd, “Baby Face” Nelson, and Bonnie and Clyde, are becoming more and more infamous. Robberies and/or killings are attributed to these villains with every passing day. However, even though the government portrays them as menaces to the public, you can’t help but root for the bad guy. In your mind, the government is to blame for all the

"I might as well tell you right off," he confesses. "I ain't much of a lover boy." Angry and hurt, Bonnie tells him, "Your advertisin' is just dandy. Folks would never guess you don't have a thing to sell." But Dunaway's Bonnie is a woman who is bored and desperate to leave her dead-end job as a waitress. Naturally she is intrigued

McCartney wandered down the corridor and heard what was then a new young band called Pink Floyd working on their hypnotic debut, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. He listened for a moment, then came rushing back. "Hey guys," he reputedly said, "There's a new band in there and they're gonna steal our thunder." With their mix of blues, music hall influences, Lewis Carroll references, and dissonant experimentation, Pink Floyd was one of the key bands of the 1960s psychedelic revolution, a pop culture movement

Bands like Nirvana, The Beach Boys, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc, are the bands that started it all. Today classic rock is basically extinct you could say.

Before the come up of Bonnie and Clyde there was a notorious bank robber who went by Pretty Boy Floyd. Like most men at the time, there was no need for a woman except for mating and to keep the house clean so of course he did not involve his wife in his crime.
