Each of these points is crafted largely through what Bloom considers a close reading of the western canon, the classical texts of the ancients which Bloom thinks contemporary universities have abandoned. It would be wrong to critique this…

A Reflection of Rock and Roll There is no doubt that throughout the decades rock and roll music has changed and been influenced by cultural and social events. The only way to explain these changes is to start at the beginning. These changes started as early as, or even earlier than the 1920’s. That is where we will begin all the way until today’s music.

During the 1930’s there was a case of white people against black boys in the town of Paint Rock, AL (Ransdall).” This case was known as The Scottsboro Trials. A novel written by Harper Lee titled To Kill a Mockingbird has a similar plot in which a black man, or Negro, was accused of raping a white woman (Lee). Both of these stories have similarities and parallels that are interesting to indulge in. The social characteristics, stigmas, and opinions if superiority influence the behaviors and…

By the early 1900s, the recording industry was booming and brought about many new talents. In 1927, Ralph Peer of Victor Records noticed that most musicians had to travel to New York to make…

But when you start using Auto- Tune in rock or country music it doesn’t sound good most of the time. I think Auto- Tune hides bad singers because with out the use of Auto- Tune I don’t think they would be good for example T-Pain who uses Auto- Tune regularly. I think artists should be…
