... pivots to keep the stylus in the record groove, or is suspended by a mechanism that enables it to stay oriented in the same direction while it moves across the record. When the stylus moves along the undulating groove of the revolving disk, it vibrates, and the vibrations are converted into equivalent electrical impulses by the cartridge in the tonearm. These impulses are conducted by wire leads to an electronic amplifier and then to one or more loudspeakers. The first practical phonograph was built by the American inventor Thomas Edison in 1877.

... become one with the people next to me. The crowd provided or allowed no personal space. We were all packed in there liked caged wildcats. I had to move as the crowd allowed or insisted. Everything was done as a group. There were no individuals here. It was only one group of crazed fans fighting for that one glimpse of their favorite band. The crowd would shift as people passed out. This only allowed me to move closer to the front. As you can tell, I was packed in until the end. Your sight was not left out either. Plenty of pyrotechnics kept your eyes filled with colorful wonder as the music played ...

... scrutiny by those who are older. Parents, whether from the 60's or 90's, never welcome the sounds of the younger generation. Unfortunately this fact does not comfort someone when listening to Snoop Doggy Dog or Ice Cube talk of sex, violence, beatings, and suicide. Hollywood, the country's Mecca for TV and movies, is another contaminated disaster area. This area has given us hero's such as Clint Eastwood, Humphrey Bogart, and Bruce Willis. Once filmmakers would evoke sexual interests through eye contact or a touch of the leg. Today cinematographers resort to graphic sexual acts and horrific beatings. A po ...

... music. What we must do is get to the heart of the problem. SEX, HOMICIDE, MONEY, these are some controversial things rappers must rap about to get "Mad loot" (money). Its bad enough we grew up in a era where the slightiest thing could upset any one,like teaching masturbation in public schools or teaching about the creation of the world in christian point of view.

During the concert of that night, they also met guitarist Bob Weir and together they formed a band called Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions. A few weeks later Bob Matthews,who later became a part of the Grateful Dead electronics and recording family,joined the group along with John "marmaduke" Dawson,who later joined the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

... even credits those experiences with the success of his music. He has even stated that he "feels fortunate to have gone through an abusive childhood." The Neo-Freudian whose theory I feel related most closely to the little information that was given in 's biography would have to be Karen Horney. Due to the fact that she focused on the social relationship between a parent and a child, and believed that early relationships in life, particularly ones between parent and child, have a strong effect on the way a person's personality develops. This could be true in regards to because his experiences with his parents, gro ...

... learned", it's hard to suppress a sigh at the overt lyrical references to Kurt Cobain's "Dumb". Then, again, maybe they're in on the joke. I mean, c'mon leading off an album as bad as this with a track called "Emotion Sickness!" Someone is pulling our collective legs here. Sure enough, the boys deliver on the promise of that title, creating a miserable mishmash of Nirvana in a soft mode, Zeppelin playing "Kashmir" on a bad drug day, even throwing in a little flatulent. Yes-ish prog-rock to boot, all of which staggers around a bit and then proceeds to fall flat on its sunburnt face. Silverchair's leader Daniel ...

Or even almost have a view that you were indestructible. You could never die, I am too young. We have everything worked out, everything planned. This was kind of the story between this girl ...

... his fondness for country-music forms-particularly the deft , blues-inflected mandolin playing and mournful, high-lonesome vocal style of Bill Monroe, the principal founder of bluegrass. When Garcia was ten, his mother, Ruth, brought him to live with her at a sailor's hotel and bar that she ran near the city's waterfront. He spent much of his time there listening to the drunks', fanciful stories; or sitting alone reading Disney and horror comics and pouring through science-fiction novels. When Garcia was fifteen, his older brother Tiff - who years earlier had accidentally chopped off Jerry's right-hand mi ...
