So This seems to be my list of Musical Artists that define and revolutionize a generation in terms of music. This is the list I thought up, only going back to the 40's.
Frank Sinatra 40's
Elvis Presley 50's
Beatles 60's
Journey 70's (I'm bias, there's probably a more fitting one)
Michael Jackson 80's
Madonna 90's
And now we come to the end of the 2000's, and I was wondering who will be the "Voice of our Generation. I have heard a couple people (jokingly) say Kesha is, but when I think about it, there really hasn't been one that rises above the crowd. Do you look at a rapper? An R&B artist? A rockstar?
Kanye West? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/13/kanye-west-im-the-voice-o_n_143703.html
Bigger than Jesus?
Taylor Swift? http://idolator.com/5395432/taylor-swift-named-the-voice-of-a-generation-by-president-of-her-label
Succumbs to nerves but has a heart of gold?
Those 2 are battling out for the Voice of a Generation? hahaha, the irony
If i were to pick a musician to define the sound of our generation, I would be incredibly bias towards the Black Eye Peas or Jason Mraz because they appeal to me so much.
Apparently, according to the Grammies the Voice of the 2000's is......
U2!
Seriously, they have one the most important ones most often by far.
I don't particularly like them but I guess its a broader audience and international appeal. I live in the Bay Area, and so I am affected by the music around the area and which is usually Rap and R&B (a little alternative). Looking at these artists (i like all of them), they do have that in common.
Maybe I should start listening to more U2?
This should be the voice of the generation!

On the other side, Vegas in 1 month. 2 interviews in April (one is a phone interview). My dad should be coming home that month as well. So much to do!

How Rude!
Has anyone listened to the lyrics of Rihanna’s Rude Boy?
Come here rude boy, boy
Can you get it up
Come here rude boy, boy
Is you big enough
Take it, take it
Baby, baby
Take it, take it
Love me, love me
So the rest of the song is just as sexual, and it reminded me of other dirty songs throughout the years. There’s
Rock the Boat- Aaliyah
I Do Both Jay and Jane- Larissa (ironic because a girl I knew in private school that’s now a baby momma…)
That’s what its made for- Usher
Aaaaannnnddd the all time dirty song:
What’s Your Fantasy- Ludacris
So my friend Jason (who is catholic) thought that today, Wednesday, was Friday. We went out for some cheap Taco Bell food (his treat) and I tried something new by ordering everything “fresco” style, which I heard about a while back. It is advertised to “lower” the grams of fat in the food. Here’s a chicken taco coming at yah!
Fresco Style is actually just replacing the cheese with pico de gallo. Now I like pico de gallo, and Taco Bell actually does a decent job with it, but don’t take away my cheese! I wish there were more Baja Fresh’s open late.
Season 4 of the Simpsons is GOLD. I’ve watched 8 episodes and there’s only one episode that wasn’t that great. There were great jokes throughout all the episodes to reference, like
“Can’t sleep, clown’ll eat me. Can’t sleep, clown’ll eat me.”
I’ll make a FF13 post next week! So many things!

Monsters and Alcohol
Werewolves vs. Vampires
So I was talking with a couple friends the other day at a birthday party and the subject of “Twilight” came up between the girls. They seemed quite bitter about the fourth book and began ranting about how the book was only about Edward (Vampire) and none of Jacob (Werewolf). I was paying a little bit of attention and then a question dawned on me. “Which one do you like more, Vampires or Werewolves?” This directed the conversation toward a more general audience (guys).
Vampires in common sci-fi culture are known as creatures that feed off blood. They usually have In Twilight, they may have souls, but I have heard that they typically think of humans as food or as lower beings.
Werewolves until recently were individuals that transformed because of a full moon into a wolf creature that terrorized people. Now Lycans (I think they are synonyms)are a apparently a part of the “underworld” society where they are ruled over by vampires or shunned by society. It is always a problem killing a werewolf as his/her ulterior ego is the reason for the killing.
Of course, in Twilight its Edward vs Jacob. Now, to make this a bigger debate:
Which one do you like more, Vampires or a Werewolves? I don’t mean that a werewolf has to be transformed, just overall.
I feel worse for werewolves and maybe if you know… some of that werewolf ferocity could be in the human form… hehe.
Well, here’s something more interesting blog post
