Whitney Museum? Was the first thought in my head when I first heard about the extra credit opportunity announced in class. When I was a child, I thought it was a Museum pertaining to Whitney Houston, but that was not the case. I heard people talk about it, but I could never pinpoint where it was. It was not until last week that I would have the opportunity to enter the Museum for $1. Going to the Whitney Museum last week, has sparked an interest in going to Museums and I am glad that I went. After spending half and hour being lost, I finally arrived at around 7 o’clock p.m. on a Friday. The sky was painted a dark navy blue and I could not make out much figures.

during the most racially unstable times in its history. First elected in 1963, Wallace was a strong segregationist. During his inaugural address, Wallace is quoted to say, “In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever”. After the first line of the verse, the female back-up singers supposedly express the band’s disapproval of…

Black Sabbath has an album called “Paranoid”. One of the songs on it is called “War Pigs”. “War Pigs” is heavily influenced by Blues and Heavy Metal. The song’s most prevalent instruments are the bass guitar and drums. Blues and Heavy metal music usually contains those instruments. This song is distinctly heavy metal though because it doesn’t contain a piano, like blues or rock. Blues music usually contained solos for certain instruments. “War Pigs” had bass guitar solos.
