Otherwise, it’s just keep your ears open more than your eyes, and listen and look. it all goes by too short. I’m going to my youngest daughter’s 21st birthday today and I’m thinking, “When did this happen?” You just gotta live it every day. It sounds cliche.” This is an important reason to why Jimmy should be in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame with his ability to be this idol to some people and not be a stuck up jerk that thinks he is better than everyone else( "A Conversation with Jimmy Buffett." ). These conversations show the good and the bad for Jimmy but from most people they think that he is an outgoing individual at the least. Most people think very highly of Jimmy Buffett or do not mind him at all. There is however a negative side to him that some people will and won’t like some of his views which can lead to them either hating or never wanting to listen to the guy again. One fan in particular didn’t like the views he had about politics. This fan said that he loved hearing him sing and now he can’t even stand the guy anymore. He didn’t like it because of what Jimmy said and I quote,”To me it was more about eight years of bad policy before (Obama) got there that let this happen. It was Dracula running the blood bank in terms of oil and leases,” he said. “I think that has more to do with it than how the president reacted to it.” To this fan he could not believe that he would say this. This made him furious with what he said even though he wasn’t friends with the guy he felt that it was someone there to take him to a faraway place a place where there were no troubles. He honestly felt that his friend had let him down. So, even though he knows that it shouldn’t be the case he thinks that there is a time and place to discuss such matters and that place wasn’t there. Which the whole point of the article that this person saw was to talk about a concert for people

  • Woodstock: An American Icon

    907 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many times, people have very different ideas about what makes an icon. Our icons may be singers, dancers, athletes, actors or politicians. We may not even know what the criteria would be for an icon, but we know one when we see it. One of the greatest American icons in history is the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival. To say that Woodstock isn’t an icon would be like saying that the music wasn’t a dynamic character in the movie “Star Wars” or “The Phantom of the Opera”. An Icon must encompass a distinct ideology, and nothing ushered in our generation’s journey to the end of the innocence like Woodstock.

    The power of television is strong and inevitable. Television has the ability to draw people in and view the world through a perspective one would think unimaginable. After the second world war ended in 1945, electronic sales boomed and more families started to gather around the tv at night to view widely famous television shows.
