search for a large enough space, the partners eventually rented a field
from a local dairy farmer, Max Yasgur, who owned land about 48miles from
Woodstock, in the town of Bethel.
Early in the week before the festival, it became clear that the
event as going to draw a much larger audience than expected. By the day
before the official opening, traffic jams miles long blocked most roads
leading to the area. On Friday, August 15, when the festival began, its
management was unable to watch the estimated 400,000 or more people coming

The Beatles And The Sex Pistols: A Study
Words: 2206 - Pages: 9.... off its feet with Beatlemania. Their musical style changed throughout the years as much as their physical appearance did. A whole generation looked up to them and their cultural impact can still be felt today.
The Sex Pistols are the most notorious band of all time. They lightning bolted onto the scene and then were gone equally as fast. However, they were to have an impact on popular music that hadn't been felt since the Beatles. Although they weren't the first punk group, they definitely defined the genre in the popular sense.

Greg Graffin
Words: 867 - Pages: 4.... who were punkers, I mean I got beat up everyday
by long haired people who listened to Rush and would beat me up because I didn't.
When he was fifteen he started a band with other social outcasts who didn't
quite fit in. They settled on the name BAD RELIGION.

would get them, but obviously not far. I don't think I would chose my
future over having "fun", if that's what they think they were doing. They
worked so hard, and they mess it all up in one day. The articles gives some
hints here and there, about this "circus" behavior had maybe a little to do

Words: 2383 - Pages: 9.... that 'good' art has something to offer to the individual
perceiver, be it painting, book, film, dance or music. These are all different
forms of art, but one thing binds them all together - the fact that they are
creations, created and crafted to the personal specifications of the artist.
This makes the product original.
Two values by which I judge music are creativity and originality. I
believe that good art provides 'food for thought' - that special something which,

'what was .....

feature of this book was its rhymed and metered English poetry. This allowed a
few tunes, having the same rhythms as the poetry, to be used as melodies for

letters F-S-L-M, representing the solmization syllables fa, sol, la, and mi,
under the notes. This indicates that there was a familiarity with and an

the audiences but was lacking on their albums. Together with Paul, John began
to evolve the band. As the years began to pass, the band was obviously
beginning to grow musically. They had moved from simple lyrics like "Love me Do"
to harshly aware reflections of life in their home country in "Eleanor Rigby"2.
