Michael Kearney is the youngest American to attend college. At the young and impressionable age of 11, Michael graduated from the University of California-Santa Cruz in 1989. Kearney was first homeschooled by his parents, who enrolled him in college at age ten in an attempt to bring some "normalcy" into his life. By most social standards Kearney is still considered a child but yet he is doing quite adult things. That sparks the question, at what point does one stop being a child and become an…

Over the duration of this course, I had the pleasant opportunity to attend a local concert by the rap performer who undergoes the stage name “Joey Bada$$”. Saturday night, May 19th 2018 at 8:00PM marked the initial start of the concert. Joey performed at a local famous venue in Downtown Minneapolis known by the name of First Avenue. Other famous groups and solo artists to perform at First Avenue include Prince, Radiohead, Marilyn Manson, and many more. This concert was the 21st stop of 2018 in…

For my photoethnography project, I decided to observe local dive bar Frank & Marlee’s in Oxford, Mississippi. Frank and Marlee’s hosts a special every Tuesday called “Taco Tuesday” and offers dollar tacos, as well as eight-dollar margarita pitchers. Many students and residents frequent this tavern to enjoy drinks and food everyday. However even though many people find Frank & Marlee’s accepting and inviting, I discovered many attributes often don’t represent that notion. Todd Lynch and his…

only did it make you happy it gave people something to relate to during the times. It gave the people motivation to want to reach where the artist were to join them on stage. It inspired many future artists like Taylor swift, ted nugent, and fleetwood mac. Even today you turn on the radio you can still hear their music play. People will always remember their music and it will be taught to more and more generations. As long as the music is there, their stories will always be told and how music…

In the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower, I have learned many things from this book. Such as, you should never settle for less than what you deserve, never care what people think about you, and always be free minded. This story is written in a series of letters by a high school freshman named Charlie. He writes to an anonymous friend, and these letters explain his everyday life, problems, and accomplishments. Charlie begins to write due to the unexpected suicide of his friend Michael. The…

Bright stage lights blinding her face, hundreds of people watching, long bus rides from city to city, stopping to eat at the local McDonald 's or Burger King five days a week, witnessing drugs and alcohol being passed around like it was candy, and not knowing where and if she’ll get a paycheck. “Doesn’t sound like much of a gem, does it? I never partook in the drugs, however being a musician came at a price darlin’. There was nothing like stepping on that stage each night and singing my little…

If you live in America you have probably seen the famous Budweiser Clydesdale commercials come across the TV screen once or twice. The beautiful horses’ trotting around with their white hoofs perfectly composed just makes you want to have an ice-cold Budweiser beer. On the other hand, Bud Light’s new slogan “The perfect beer for whatever happens” tries to portray a party like lifestyle for anyone who’s wiling to give it a try. In fact, the largest brewing company in the United States, Anheuser-…

be said about myself from my name alone. My dad was the one who named me and I take a great deal of pride in it. Kendrah is a unique name which is not very common and even more uncommon to be spelled the way mine is. Rhiannon comes from the Fleetwood Mac song “Rhiannon,” because my parents grew up in the 60s and 70s and rock and roll was and remains their favorite genre. Being the oldest daughter in a Hispanic family, naturally I would be given the middle name Marie, same…

Over the course of this past summer I have had the opportunity to attend numerous live shows ranging from the traditional deep southern sounds of bluegrass, to the stylistic hard and raw sounds of rock and roll. Standing apart from all the rest, a new up and coming Indie Pop band, put on quite literally the greatest show I’ve ever seen. At that concert I experienced a feeling of true exhilaration. Nothing else can come close to the feeling right before they took stage, when the lights cut out,…

Track 5: The Glamorous Life Sheila E., The Glamorous Life One of the most significant outcomes of the Sunset Sound sessions was an album for Sheila Escovedo, a young Latin with well-honed percussion skills. She was the daughter of a professional backing player and had been introduced to Prince by Carlos Santana. With some considerable coaxing, Prince got Sheila to take a stab at the mic. Following a first, successful collaboration on “Erotic City,” Prince pulled her into the studio with a pile…
