Zaiden tapped his steering wheel to the beat of Elvis Presley’s “Burning Love.” He was on his way to Anywhere But His Hometown, trying to escape the fact that he was the family disappointment for not getting a baseball scholarship to the same fancy school his father graduated from. Zaiden had no desire to attend a place that valued money over education. He grew up in the tiny town of Ellis, Maine with the grand population of 623 bigoted people.

My favorite type of music is country. This music is inspirational to all types of people. I truly understand a lot of meanings of country songs. It doesn’t come right out and say it, but you can always infer. There are a variety of ways country music makes you feel. It can make you feel happy and sad, maybe both at the same time. Country music reminds me of my favorite time of the year, summer. It reminds me of sitting out at my cabin on Lake Delhi, being on the boat with the rays of sun…

Country music has changed through the years. Country music today is much different than the country music you would have heard even just 15 years ago. There are a verity of different forms of country now which is all still put under one category but I would say that you could split it up into at least two. Today’s Country music is very much on the mainstream and popish where 20 years ago it had a specific sound; you would hear it and so oh that’s country. It is actually sometimes quite…

Johnny Cash inspires me to follow my one of my many dreams of becoming a country music star. His life story is the embodiment of the “American Dream” by, starting out as a poor farmer boy and then, becoming a country music star. He made a galore of mistakes but, he managed to grow from them and be a better man. Cash wrote songs about his experiences and what they taught him. For example, the song, I Walk the Line, was about Cash being brave and taking care of other people before anyone else…

calm down or to get pumped up; some listen to music to either make them happy or sad. Country music is one of the most popular genre of music today.

Honky tonk is what most people think of when they think of country music. Honky tonk is often thought of being fast and upbeat, but it is…

American greasers and the rockabilly epidemic. In the 1970s, Westwood’s skin-tight leather, rubber, and vinyl clothing paired with ripped fishnet tights, harsh eyeliner, and spiked jewelry placates the need to sexualize clothing. Street…

The Cramps are a unique blend of rockabilly, garage rock, classic horror movies, and teenage angst. The Cramps celebrate all that is dirty and perverse and draw in listeners with their unique sound. This unique blend led to the creation of the psychobilly genre. Punk and psychobilly culture would be completely unthinkable without them, and their presence helped to influence the revival of rockabilly and later rock movements The creation of the Cramps began in 1972 in Sacramento, CA, when Erick…
