- 412: Miles Davis
- ... Miles lost a huge share of the loyal audience who had been following his earlier career. This new electric music dared to shed a “jazz” sound to integrate the highly charged, youthful raw power from rock and funk. Ignoring barriers, this music refuses to stay in any “proper” place. Besides being multicultural, it makes an even bigger transgression: it is often unpleasant, assaulted, harsh, macho, eerie, and seemingly formless. Just as ... order with no concession for the audience’s expectations or for presenting what the audience might be comfortable with.

- ... occurs in the story when the person cannot find the head because almost all sensory perception went along with the head. In the end, the person says, " . . . I guess I’ll sit down / On this rock / And rest for just a minute . . . ." (p. 25). The rock, as the picture accompanying the poem shows, turns out to be the person’s lost head.

- ... they would be more likely to side with the PMRC. After Mr. Zappa’s testimony to the Congress, Senator Hawkins asks only one question. He asks, “Do you make a profit from the sales of rock records?” (P.C.H. 61). Of course, Zappa answers yes. He is a professional musician and it is common knowledge that he makes money from record sales. No matter what his answer, this brings up ... that their children could possibly be effected by this obscene song, they may stand up against it. The main opposition to the PMRC are the musicians, such as Frank Zappa. Frank Zappa was a famous rock musician in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

The altar was a rock in the middle of the congregation and there were four trees surrounding the congregation with their tops ablaze, like candles. A red light rose and fell over the congregation which cast a veil of evil ... The "communion of your race" statement reflects to the irony of Brown's earlier statement that he comes from "a race of honest men and good Christians.") The leader than dips his hand in the rock to draw a liquid from it and "to lay the mark of baptism upon their foreheads". Brown than snaps out from his trance and yells "Faith! Faith! Look up to Heaven and resist the wicked ...

These styles include pop, folk, country, and rock. Other styles, including jazz, blues, and various ethnic music, are the result of a blending of cultures and traditions. All these styles constitute an important part of music in American society, styles that constitute “ American ... classical music traditions, their great “ masterpieces,” their own high art.

It is played in rock bands with a foot petal,that when pressed down, makes a drum stick strike the drum. I feel that all of the drums have evolved. They are also played in a variety of places weather it is in a school marching band or a punk rock band.
