... Ligeti seems to have sculpted a piece together from bits and pieces of other musical styles: a sort of modern-art approach to music.

Ideas come floating to the front of the imaginary "stage", and drop back behind newer themes.

... and motivate the Afro-American population into movement and self-respect. He never really became involved politically, but he did disband his original band, "The Experience", because it had a white rhythm section, and created his all black "Band of Gypsies." Politically, this may have seemed necessary, but musically it was a mistake, the Gypsies were never as solid as the Experience. Increasingly, the effects of the music being produced, both by Jimi, and other acts relied heavily on the use of volume as a musical component.

... down in front of every parent with young children. This large, main audience makes music censorship an important issue, where both sides must choose their words carefully in order to have the greater impact. By better understanding the ways in which both sides use appeals, the audience can make an informed decision on which stance to take. The audience will know and be able to take into account the ways that both groups use appeals to manipulate the audience to take their stance.

... violence and revenge. Tupac has always rapped about death and violence but it appears to be more apparent and aimed at specific individuals in Makavel: The Don Killimunati The Seven-Day Theory. Because of the added themes of violence and revenge, this album does stand out from the rest of them. All his albums appear to get more aggressive and violent from one to the other. He didn’t necessarily start out being so violent and lashing out against other specific people. He started out with his first few albums by lashing out against society and some of its norms. He discussed the hardships of being a black man ...

... it was boring. Growing up in my generation, who would want to hear music from one or two hundred years ago? In addition, the music from that time was long and mainly instrumental. Some pieces would be fifteen to forty-five minutes long! Today, songs are mostly three to four minutes. They are short and to the point. In many aspects, this “classical music� would take some time to get used to. My Music Appreciation class gave me knowledge I needed to understand music that I was not already familiar with. The first couple of weeks in the class, we learned the basic elements of not just “classical� music, ...
