Freddie Mercury

Foundation gave 10% of its funds to AIDS prevention education and 90% to direct funds (Schlesinger, 2008). The National AIDS Fund has helped John raise $33 million dollars for AIDS (White, 1997). John also sang at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, an AIDS charity, in 1992 for Freddie Mercury who died from AIDS. He sang a song for Ryan White called "That's What Friends Are For" with Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, and Stevie Wonder in 1985 that raised funds for AIDS research. He raised funds…

Circle’ by Harry Chapin. Decades ago Harry Chapin lamented that his Life was like a circle. He felt that there was neither a beginning or end, just the years rolling by. They may have had that regular sunrise/sunset and summer/winter rhythm. But otherwise there appeared no particular pattern and certainly no straight lines that made sense from it all. The saga of the prime pastoral land known as ‘Bundarbo’ proved Chapin’s point. It was farmed by the Lloyd family in the late 19th century. Then…

Let me get started by saying that music is a wonderful thing. Music opens many windows to people and make you accomplish tasks that you thought you couldn’t do. Music comes in many variations from being sad, happy, or angry. Also music has been with humans for as long as I can remember. In 700 B.C vocals were added to the music they had and that took a different road and developed music much more than what they knew. Fast forwarding to the 1940s and 1950s the music industry started to grow and…

Queen or FFDP Are you a headbanger or a classic rock kind of person? If you listen to rock and go to concerts then you would understand that question, but seriously are you a classics fan or a hard rock fan? I’m a rock fan regardless, I listen to Queen, Led Zeppelin, FFDP, A7X, George Thorogood, Zombie, you name it. My opinion is that their both good, but not everyone is meant for one kind of music. In here i'm going to explain to you why there both good choices of music, but for different…

world more aligned with what I imagined. Sometimes these works were simply escapist fantasies that distracted me from the difficulties of my internal life. But other times, in the strongest moments - maybe through the words of Alice Cooper or Freddie Mercury, through Cronenberg films, or even in Chewbacca's growl, I experienced something deeper - the realization that I wasn't completely alone. Someone out there was as weird and strange and whacked out as I…

Oppression then starts to make people struggle when really this is not necessary. There are laws that protect people from discrimination based on race, religion, and sex, but there aren’t well-enforced laws that help people that are discriminated against based on ones sexual orientation. For example “Although federal laws protect people from workplace discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, religion, sex, age, and disability, there is no federal law that specifically outlaws…

I doubt the world would mourn the town of Ibatiba if it suddenly vanished into nothingness. Yet, this small speck on this pale blue dot we live on had anything but a small impact on me. Growing up my sister and I would tease that Ibatiba, my mom's hometown back in Brazil, had more gas stations than businesses and more cows than cars. Despite Ibatiba being seemingly inconsequential, the close-knit community of incredibly lively, jovial, and vibrant individuals who reside there skewed my…

What Makes a Good Writer? Every day people are surrounded by works of literature whether its fiction, nonfiction, a short story or even a poem. Literature has been integrated into our daily lives. One lives in a world where writing is second nature; a child is often taught how to write at the age of six, and continues to further his/her writing as the year’s progress. However, according to Anne Bernays “people can’t be taught how to write, they either have it or they don’t.” In order to become…
