When asked to name the first rock song that pops into his head, my boyfriend instantly replied with, “’Simple Man is rock, right?’”. What he did not know was that the song he named was from one of the greatest bands of all time within the genre of southern rock. A subgenre of rock, southern rock was a combination of blues, country, jazz, and R&B (Stack et al., 2014). The background that shaped southern rock, the characteristics as well as instruments and technology used in the music, and the artists/songs

new era of the South but also that they would not stray away from the “Old South” heritage. If Lynyrd Skynyrd was a vehicle, they’d be one of those “big-ass”, powerful, fancy pickup trucks (Manning). Skynyrd worked the matrix between laid back southern rock and heavy metal. Skynyrd as popular and expressive as they are, this quote is most definitely true. Popular they are indeed, as they have sold 25 million records in their career (Beam and Skynyrd Tour). That achievement alone is jaw dropping and
very popular song that turned out to be a big hit all over the country. It was written by band members Allen Collins and Ronnie VanZant. I think that this is a very good song with good lyrics that display a lot of meaning. Lynyrd Skynyrd is a southern rock band that has been very popular throughout the late nineteen hundreds. They have produced many songs on many different albums. Songs that come to my mind are What’s Your Name, Simple Man, Sweet Home Alabama, and Free bird. The two main people of
After reading both, “Nashville Skyline: Searching for the heart of the country,” by Chet Flippo, and, “Music is worthless,” by Steve Lawson. It is clear that although they bear some minor differences, the similarities between both articles are pronounced. For example, in Music is worthless, Steve Lawson presents the idea that the financial value of music is entirely based on the listener’s sense of gratitude for that certain type of music. In comparison, in searching for the heart of country Flippo
One song that describes my life right now is Let there be cowgirls by chris cagle. This song describes me because i ride horses as often as i can. I spend hours on end with my horse. Sometimes it is just sitting there on a bucket reading while she eats. Or i take her on long trail rides because it is so so so calming. My horse is my best friend i tell her everything and the best part is, she never tells anyone my secrets. There is one line in the song that says, “Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy
Country music is “a branch of American Popular Music (Country Music)” that dates back to the 1920s. The music itself is a combination of folk music arising from the southern United States, with “cowboy” music from the Wild West. The beats, the harmony, and the flow are generally simple and allow for listening at ease. Lyrical analysis separates country music from mixing with other categories, as it is associated with ballads and stories – the songs are fit to tell. Any and all accompaniment is, in

or directly at the show through the Acoustic at the Ryman album. This is definitely a band that sounds the same if not better in acoustic form. Slow cruel hands of time and Delft Schrempf have these very soft sweet beats that just make a crowd just rock from side to side. The guitar in Slow Cruel Hands of Time and the simple note being played on the piano in Delft Schrempf are very soothing but they still feel connected unsure if that’s because the message or the rhythm chosen for both songs.

DescriptionGeologic History--Land Formation, Types of Rocks, and Minerals The northeastern part of Saskatchewan is a part of the Canadian Shield that was formed during Precambrian era and features some of the oldest rocks in the world. The border that separates the Canadian Shield from the rest of the province runs across Saskatchewan from south-east to north-west. This part of the province was formed during Precambrian era and contains igneous and metamorphic rocks. From the minerals found in that part of
are the oceanic crust made of dense iron magnesium silicate rocks and underlie the ocean basins. The thicker crust is continental crust, composed of sodium potassium aluminum silicate rocks. The crust varies from 0 to 35 km or 5 to 70km. Convection currents occur because the density of a fluid is related to its temperature. Hot rocks lower in the mantle are less dense than the cooler rocks above. The hot rocks rise and the cooler rocks sink because of gravity. Convection currents are thought to be
prisoners of war or any cowboys, but I am a climber, and climbers are hardcore. By sheer will, climbers scale overhanging rock faces, risk life and limb in the pursuit of the summit, and just generally go all out all the time. Aside from being able to handle the risk, climbers latch onto the sharpest and most painful handholds for the simplest reward of having climbed a particular rock wall. No, climbers don't seek attention from the crowds or big bucks for competing; they climb with the pure, unadulterated
a result from the soot. However, new studies have shown that rocks from the supposed time of impact contain little charcoal. In order for it to be possible for the massive firestorms to have occurred, charcoal would have had to have been present in the rocks. Without charcoal there is little likelihood that this theory is true. Still, some debate that although some investigations claim to have not found charcoal in the rocks, they fail to report that they did find coal. These skeptics claim
The Natural Gemstones can be minerals, as emerald and diamond, amorphous substances, as opal and volcanic glass, organic substances, as coral and amber or it can be properly rocks as the ones rich in sodalite and turquoise. The Synthetic gemstones always have a natural equivalent and are made through synthetizing processes and have almost all the characteristics identic to their natural equivalent. Some examples are the synthetic

Grab & Knight (2015:43) states, “The height of Pilanesburg ranges from 100-500 meters”. 3. The Description of Vredefort Dome Grab & Knight (2015:31) states, “the Vredefort Dome is found in the northern part of Free State, the southern part of the North West and in the Gauteng Province”.

out in my mind. During my junior year I went on vacation to a resort in Jamaica with a extraordinary beach. It was a large beach with white sand and remarkable palm trees. There was also a long row of enormous rocks that extended far out into the Caribbean Sea. I found that those rocks made a great place to walk out on to watch the glorious sunsets. I thought this Jamaican beach was great for a couple of reasons. One reason was that it was the perfect place to watch the sunset. The other was
sisters and I were driving through Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, in Maine. We stopped and parked at the foot of a mountain. The infamous Bubble Rock rested at its peak. While reading the posted sign we learned how Bubble Rock was formed by glaciers. This rock hung over the edge of the steep mountain. Although the rock was quite stable, it looked like it would snap off at any moment. I looked up and realized how much I wished I was standing up on top of it. I decided to
and summers at the Hall farm in Quincy, Massachusetts. The farm in Quincy provided Parkman with a vast area of rocks and forestry to explore, since it happened to be located adjacent to the Five Mile Woods, later renamed the Middlesex Fells. He encountered many illnesses in Boston, and his parents decided to leave him in his grandparents’ care on the farm. On the farm he collected rocks, trapped animals, shot arrows at birds, and conducted experiments. He wrote about himself and his experiments in
Who doesn’t love a movie where the protagonist is off on a quest for revenge in numerous action sequences for his taste of sweet, sweet revenge? When breaking films into this type of category, one film that stands out among the rest has to be Gladiator. Gladiator can be argued as one of the greatest action movies of all time, and for good reasons. The soundtrack, dialogue, and characters have no equal in the revenge action category of film, and can be considered tops of pure action films. Gladiator
means, "the legs are alike"1. Different species prefer different dwellings however the Common Rough Woodlouse (Porcellio scaber) which has been used for this investigation, is commonly found around residential properties. They can be found under rocks or around compost heaps where the soil is moist and a humid atmosphere is maintained. One abiotic factor that affects the habitat of Woodlice includes damp or moist soil. Compost heaps also provide a continuous source of dead plants, which is part
