Decent Essays
In this essay I will compare and contrast satellite radio and FM radio. Satellite radio is radio that the consumer buys and is unedited so that you can hear someone’s total view points on a topic. FM radio is usually run by commercials and is always edited. In this essay I’m going to go over the benefits of having both services as well as the cons of both services. I will explore the impact they both have on listeners. I will also go over how they assist the artist when it comes to promoting their album. Hopefully at the end of this essay you’ll be able to decide whether you want to listen to satellite radio or FM radio.

Satellite radio is amazing if you love music without commercials and you like to listen to radio personalities speak about their day to day life with no boundaries. I first started listening to satellite radio in 2013 when I bought a car that came with a free six month trial. Satellite radio introduced me to so much new music because it’s not based on charts of what the most requested song is but rather what great music is out across the board. Satellite radio also provided sports, religion and children programming. Later in this essay I will discuss the cons of satellite radio but we will discuss the pros of FM radio.

You might be listening to a hip hop station and you will hear graphic songs or uncensored topics. Since satellite radio isn’t run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is no guidelines or regulations. Another con of satellite radio is the price, twenty dollars a month might not seem that bad but when you do the math it’s two hundred and forth dollars a year. Another con if satellite radio is you can’t pick the songs you want to hear, if you pay for the service you should have the option to hear what you want to hear. Later in the essay I will discuss how this platform helps the artist when it comes to album sells and gaining

    There is a line in the musical Spamalot where Sir Robin sings to King Arthur; “In any great adventure, if you don 't want to lose ... you won 't succeed on Broadway if you don 't have any Jews!" (PBS, Broadway Musicals). If you can look past the sweeping generalization, Sir Robin’s surprising lyric turns out to be very true about musicals. Historians have recognized that Jewish immigrant culture heavily influenced the content of musical theatre when it was popularized in America during the early twentieth century. But in turn, it was the sociopolitical and racial climate of the 20th century that inspired the creative and thematic content of Jewish productions as well.…

From vinyl records to instant online streaming, the advancements in technology have been truly impressive. Long gone are the days of standing in line at the music store, or lugging around heavy electronic equipment (Ramey, "Modern Technology Advantages And Disadvantages").

    Music and society have a large impact on each other, and how they shape the way people view and act in the world. There are four themes that identify and characterize how music has evolved over the past one hundred years. These themes also show how music affects and expresses the culture that not only we live in today, but also how we have changed in our views on numerous aspects of today’s society. The four themes that are explored directly with a specific artist and, or, band are how they impact society, politics, and several cultural issues that have stood the test of time and the way race, class, and gender are expressed in music. The development of the music industry and the technology used in it are widely affected by the change in music over decades, but also by outstanding individuals during their careers, which span over a variable amount of time.…

    Juvenile delinquency was a national topic of discussion in the 1950’s. A movement of censorship swept through as a result of parents fearing Rock ‘n’ Roll’s challenge to traditional values and abstinence. The campaign was successful in making artists and producers of Rock ‘n’ Roll more reserved in the music they made. In doing so, they failed to damage the industry as a whole. The toned down nature of songs and performers encouraged Rock ‘n’ Roll’s acceptance to a broader audience.…

    The Effect of Protest Music in the 1960’s and 1970’s. In the early 1960’s, much of the American population believed that the country was reaching a “Golden Age.” With John F. Kennedy being elected the president, society as a whole was hopeful for what would come of the new decade. Though the beginning of the 1960’s was optimistic, the mood of the era drastically transformed into something much darker by the late 1960’s and 1970’s.…

    Langston Hughes, the brilliant poet and author of the twentieth century, once wrote that it was the “mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people - the beauty within themselves.” This mission delegated to all artists was no easy task; especially African-Americans who were consistently persecuted and ignored by white supremacists. For example, if you had a idea - an idea that would change the way that people think of you - but were persecuted and attacked for presenting it, would you make that idea a reality? The African-American artists of the 1920s and 1930s went against all oppression and published wonderful works under their name, making them one of the first people of color to openly share their masterpieces. This period of mass…

    The influence of rock ‘n' roll was popularized in the 1950s and it was during this time rock ‘n' roll became somewhat of a divider but also a method of bringing people together. It pitted parents, the government, and even the mass media against teens and at the same stretch helped to erode some of the prejudices and the boundary lines between African Americans and White people. Parents in particular, disapproved the influence and message behind rock ‘n' roll, as it was a sexualized style of music. But, they also disliked the idea that the music came from African Americans irrespective of if it was a white entertainer who recorded the track. Also rock ‘n’ roll was accused of inspiring a rebellious nature in adolescents of the time.…

    In the book All Shook Up: How Rock ‘n’ Roll Changed America, by Glenn Altschuler, touches on the development of rock ‘n’ roll between 1945 and 1955 cautiously observing that it is a “social construction not a musical conception (Page 27).” This definition of rock ‘n’ roll gives him space to focus on arguable topics much as exploration, and, in some cases, combining of differing styles, cultures, and social values. In the book the first three chapters focus on those argued areas by looking at generation differences, race, and sexuality. In his discussion of race, he obscures the traditional view that white artists did damage to African American artists when he says that in some a way it helped lift them by giving them more radio time and publicity.…

    The music of the younger generation always seems to strike fear into the hearts of the older generation. One only has to think of the beginnings of Rock and Roll and how the older crowd predicted youthful promiscuity, violence and anarchy. It’s easy to see why the idea of censoring music came about and how that idea still plays out in the music of today’s youth. One only has to listen to certain songs on the radio today to find that the “bleep” of censorship is still in fashion. Oddly enough however, when one searches “songs about censorship” on the internet, one finds that there is far more information about songs that have been censored than there is about songs dealing with censorship.…
