The Clash

event was actually a suicide rather than a simple overdose, as he was clear and after drug rehabilitation at that time, but he was struggling with the death of a love of his life, Nancy Spungen, which might have been the underlying motive to commit a suicide. This event was a critical factor in Sex Pistols’ already ongoing degradation and eventually a complete break of the band. Even though they made several shows after that, the band never achieved the spirit that they got during their best times again. Sex Pistols are a massive symbol of punk, but they are not the only one, as there were many bands in the UK that represented this movement and if we want to describe this movement thoroughly, we certainly can’t miss out on the legendary Clash. It is unchallengeable fact that the band members Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Terry Chimes and Nick Headon managed to make an enormous impact on the UK’s punk scene and on rock music as a whole. Even though they are considered a classic punk band of the mid 1970’s along with the Pistols, there is clear distinction in the way they presented themselves in music. Their first single “White Riot” is, in a certain sense a classic rough, fast and rhythmic punk, but as the band progressed, they developed a very sophisticated music style, which included elements of classic rock, blues and reggae. The sophistication of their musical performance can certainly be felt the most in their greatest album “London Calling”, released in UK in…

Green Day is an American punk rock band made in 1986 by Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt.

Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley,…

Orientation Event During the first session, Purple started to share their experience with full time work and the internal battle that they were experiencing on whether or not they should stay in the job. For me it was interesting to see that this one story so clearly resonated with almost every member of the group. Our body language changed. It was like the group was coming together for the first time to rally around Purple so that they could feel like they were not alone in their experience.…

On March 26th, I attended a concert at Sidewinder in Austin, Texas. The venue hosted three bands: The Sweethearts, Two Tens, and The Dollyrots. All three were female-fronted punk rock bands, but The Sweethearts were the only band that was local. The other two were on tour with each other. All three of the bands knew each other and have played together at other venues frequently. This event held indoors. Sidewinder’s interior is set up as an open bar. When you walk in the bar is to the right,…

When Lee Lodge and Modest! Management asked Kate Moross if she would like to be involved with One Direction’s On The Road Again Tour, she did not expect to have so much creative freedom. Morris started this project last autumn at Studio Moross with a team full of filmmakers, animators, illustrators and designers. Even though Studio Morris covers everything from graphic design, to live visuals. This was the first time that all areas were brought to one massive project. With the enormous…

The article Clash of Civilizations begins by speaking on why there will be a clash of civilizations, where he gives a total of six explanations, and then he focuses by acknowledging that these clashes will take place on cultural fault lines whether they be distant countries, neighboring countries, or internal cultural borders within a specific country. This section mostly hits on the clash between the ideologies of the west vs. Islam. The author then goes on to explain how the civilizations of…

culture. Countries on the world map in 20th century were divided in two main regional and political camps as West and East. West is always progressive, secular, modern place, where democracy and human rights are the common values. The East is retrograde, religious, barbarian and retarded. The post-colonialism discourses of Dussel, Said and Fanon define world in term of Eurocentrism, Orientalism and national liberation which held later in the 19th and 20th centuries. Enrique Dussel, in his work…

Clash of the Paradigms During the 19th century, the three paradigms that were relevant in society were the New York Times, New York Journal and the New York Commercial Advertiser. Although all three paradigms were prominent during the late 1890's one of these three newspapers prevailed and it was the New York Times. There were many reasons why the Times prevailed and the others failed. According to the excerpt, "The Year That defined American Journalism" it quotes, "… the Times offered a…

declarations, and instead posits that there is a “Clash of Civilizations” of sorts, where state behavior is predominantly shaped by cultural differences. Neatly dividing the globe up into nine different ‘civilizations’, that is, the highest cultural groupings, he argues that conflict between many of these groupings is inevitable as a primary aspect of cultural identity is who you ‘hate’. This is particularly salient between the West and Islam to Huntington, as Islam is considered to be the most…
