Bohemian Rhapsody

In the middle of lake superior, there is an idyllic island, 45 miles long and 9 miles wide. It has untouched lakes, thousands of moose, and a dwindling population of wolves. I have been there 2 times, and both times it was an experience I will never forget. This is Isle Royale, the least visited national park in the contiguous US, and the largest island in lake superior. I have hiked over 100 miles on the island, but there are 12 that stand out as the most physically challenging day of my life.…

Mockingbirds sing beautiful songs for us and do nothing wrong, so why kill them. The book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee there are many people who represent mockingbirds.

mentioned, the Judas Priest song, and imagine how it would sound if all instruments and the vocals were following the same notes and rhythm. It should sound very different for the most part. Some songs interpret this into their music. Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” incorporates it phenomenally into one part of their song in which, “Thunder bolts and lightning very very frightening me” (Mercury, F. and Queen, 1975) is sung with instruments following the vocals precisely. While great in its own…

Suicide Squad: The Hara-Kiri of the Superhero Genre Overly-priced popcorn and jumbo drink in hand, you try to find a seat in the crowded theater. As the lights start to dim, the screen lights up and the trailers begin to play. You watch in amazement as a frenzy of all new stories come to life on the big screen – action, adventure, comedy, drama, and the genre of today, the superhero movie.

hip-hop songs or rock songs from the 70’, 80’s or 90’s to get that nostalgic feeling from the audience.

Animated movies are notorious for using pop songs from the 90’s in their movies that kids know nothing about but their parents are familiar with.
