The Year that Changed My Perspective of School It all started a week before the new school year. The year of the sneezing, coughing and nonstop runny nose was preparing its over throw of summer. I wasn't too excited about it. In fact I dreaded it. Advertisements came flying through the mail. Every one of them had printed boldly "Back To School" and "Back to School" again. It made me sick to my stomach. I threw every ad in the garbage. I never knew it but this school year was to change

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City: Blu-Ray Concert Review In 2007, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds journeyed to Radio City Music Hall in New York City to perform an acoustic concert. The result was a performance so incredible that it was deemed worthy to be put on CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray. Being an avid Dave Matthews fan and having watched this concert multiple times, I feel that I am qualified to give it a critical overview. The intimate night begins with the humble duo of
common people by using as many influential platforms possible from ads on television, entertainment in the theaters, politics in the government, to music on the radio. The Dave Matthews Band sings about either issues in life or in love. To find a song that correlates to individualism is not a surprise. When singer Dave Matthews performs the song "Drunken Soldier" live, he puts an emphasis on the lyrics "Don't waste time trying to be something you're not/ Fill up your head/ Fill up your heart/ And
The song “The Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel has several connections to Farenheit 451. One example of the connection is the lines “because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains with the sound of silence” (Simon and Garfunkel).

The Grateful Dead The Grateful Dead was a band that toured continuously for 30 years until the death of lead man Jerry Garcia. They were known for free flowing jams and bluegrass roots. Phish is a band that has toured consistently for the last 17 years and has in time made themselves into stealth multi-millionaires.
