What happened you ask? Well, it became "An Industry Of Cool". Sadly the downfall of Rock is that Rock music has genres of its own - Gothic, Punk, Grunge, Ska, Indie, etc. Its most well-known is Rock 'n' Roll. Rock music has always had its idols - Chuck Berry, Elvis, Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Jim Morrison of the Doors, Joplin...

While There will be alot of Beatles, rolling stones fans on here. I a 21 year old from the UK say America's biggest ever band "The Doors".

Sports & Recreation > Hockey Should the NHL ban hockey players who have multiple suspensions for intentional injury?: 4 of 9

First of all, I love the exciting world of NHL ice hockey. And what a game last night in the All-Star match in Atlanta, Georgia. From DiPietro in goal to Ovechkin and Staal on attack, it was a great game for the East, after Man of the Moment Rick Nash broke the All-Star Game fastest goal record. The All-Star Game is an ...
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Minimum wage: Is it fair?: 7 of 14

Is minimum wage fair? I don't know about the system in the U.S. but in the UK it is. Employers can hire workers for a reasonable amount and make money off of them. Employee's can keep their families fed and watered, with accommodation. Proving they are in work of course. However there is an upsurge with British companies mov...
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Europe The former Soviet Republics' state without communism: 1 of 1

On paper communism works, it's ever present as long as Fidel Castro remains alive, even China is declared as a communist state. Sadly greed is a part of everyday life and human nature is ever present. Russia as it stands contains some of the most inhospitable places on earth, and they have been in 2 world wars, not to mentio...

I was given as a Christmas present a first two series' of "The Mighty Boosh", a British comedy on the BBC.

Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes How to improve your singing voice for karaoke: 15 of 29

Having performed on different karaoke systems, you notice differences including lyrics & music quality. I've been a KJ (Karaoke Jockey) in the past. And I'm not bothered if someone is rather terrible or if they sound like an angel, just as long as they enjoy themselves. Karaoke is a hobby and a great reason to go to a bar. T...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: If you could change any world event, what would it be?: 27 of 34

You learn more by making mistakes, however looking at some of the sickest treatments and oppression. I guess Jesus would be a good person to save, however it's hard to have a religion without a Saviour. Adolf Hitler would be another point of attention how he treated Jews and blacks is simply horrible. However he was loved by...
Religion & Spirituality > Islam Discrimination against Muslims in Europe: 6 of 7

Muslim's get a bad press in the United Kingdom, I use the term united very loosely, because of years and years of oppression, the British people have seen the country and it's government decline. Only 100 years ago, if you were born in Britain you'd have been considered the luckiest person, however today it's far from that. ...
