456 Words2 Pages

Sirod Pennewell Jimi Hendrix and the Flobots come from different period but both express tyranny of war with song “Machine Gun” and “Handlebars”. On the contrary where they have their similarities they have differences not just in genre. Differences I feel are in perspective and point of view rather just genre and era. The big difference is one talking about being free and the other restrained from freedom. Songs have distinctive differences because one talks about power and the being under power.

For example “I can make money open up a thrift store/I can make a living off a magazine/I can design an engine/sixty four miles to a gallon of gasoline/I

  • Beatles Vs Beach Boys Essay

    Two of the biggest groups to separate themselves from the other bands of the 1960s were the Beach Boys and the Beatles. Each had their own style of rock ’n’ roll and their own way of creating new music.

I am surely guilty of this ignorant practice, however. As I was reading “Hanging Fire” by Audre Lorde and “On Turning Ten” by Billy Collins, I didn’t truly perceive the connection right away. The obvious was already divulged in my mind; they’re both in the points of views of children. They, however, both have a mutual theme; growing up brings uncertainty and disappointment.

John Lennon was a man that was all about peace and he didn’t agree with the U.S getting involved in the vietnam war.
