“Wow, either the wand worked, or we don’t look very tasty,” Titus said, as he looked up into the trees toward Hootie. After traveling higher up the mountain, Titus and his two companions came to a grassy meadow. Urging the mule to a big rock, “This,” Titus said to the mule as he dismounted, “Is where we will spend the night.” Taking a string and a hook from his pouch, he looked up at Hootie and said," I’ll catch us some fish for dinner tonight.” .

Introduction The 1950’s saw the birth of rock and roll. Ever since then, rock has not only survived, but thrived. Artists like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry paved the way for The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and many others in the 1960s and 1970s.

Pop has continued to develop with the changing minds…
me off. That pull could have broken my neck. Before he starts some rant about the dangers of rocks I ask “Mom, may I go climb the rocks over there?” pointing to more rocks that are as tall or taller than me that travel into a forest. These rocks are clearly more dangerous than the one I just climbed, but my mother encourages me to enjoy myself on this trip. Before my dad can say anything, I run over rocks that I know that he can’t go over as easily because of his…

The 1960’s were pretty much made up of three major components, sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Music was one of the only ways for people to cope with everything else happening during the time, such as the Vietnam War. One of the biggest musicians to shape that time period was Jimi Hendrix.

He has a large nose, but not lots of chin. He wears a Hawaiian shirt and glasses with lenses thick and round.

present in live or single session recordings, and this rigidity directly contradicts the tenets of rock and roll, which decree it an organic expression of thought. For all the applause and awe it generated, even ‘Sgt.
