The media likes to capture rock musicians using drugs at wild parties and acting irresponsible to get attention from people and increase magazine sales and ratings. I consider musicians to be artists who use music as a form of expression. The majority of their actions are to uphold certain image expectations from their fan base. Rock stars are expected to act wild and crazy always engaging in scandals to keep their fans wanting more. While a majority of these people are addicts with psychological issues who usually die from overdoses of illicit drugs many actually have families and are regular normal people when they are not in the spotlight.
As is the case for most viral phenomena, there are those who aren’t too keen on hip-hop Elvis’s lyrical prose. They fear that his overwhelming invectives can and will entreat harm upon his avid listeners. In spite of the schism between the lovers and the haters, Eminem has undoubtedly taken the music industry by storm; and in turn, our views and considerations. While the zealots of ‘Slim Shady’ defend his lyrics and context with phrases like ‘artistic expression’ and ‘free speech’, as made evident in Jackson Katz’s essay entitled Eminem’s Popularity Is a Major Setback for Girls and Women, Eminem’s cultural trailblazing comes with a less-than charismatic price: widespread acceptance of violence against anyone and everyone who falls within the crosshairs of his philosophy. People see this on a day-to-day basis, sometimes blatantly, other times situated behind the cleverly posed acceptances found in daily public life: Guy eyes a fetching girl and advances discretely.
Oops! Tim McGraw's label, Curb Records, has gone ahead and released yet another McGraw greatest hits album - without the musician's knowledge or permission! McGraw says he feels most for his fans - "It has to be just as confusing to the fans as it is to me."

McGraw says he's been working on a studio album for over a year now, performing new tracks on tour and hoping to release the new album in the fall.
Finally on October 27th, the song was released to the rest of the world. Bad Romance is part of Lady Gaga’s album The Fame Monster which was released November 18, 2009. The Fame Monster is subjective to several genres including pop, rock and gothic music. The album was also clearly stimulated by the fashion world; it is obvious due to Gaga’s selection of outrageous costumes and clothing. This album is all about the darker side of fame, including love, sex, and alcohol.
STDs, fighting fatalities and injuries, and jail time are real threats to those who choose to live in the false grandeur of a Hollywood life. The Ugly Face of Entertainment Entertainment tempers people's hectic pace of life, preserves sanity, and serves as a vehicle for socialization. In an age of technology, however, new entertainment has invaded society and rotted morals. Television, computer and video games, movies, and others have placed an unhealthy emphasis on indulgence and violence. By capitalizing on thrillers like aggression, much of entertainment has distorted human character and promoted violence.
Would Are You Experienced? have sucked? To answer these nagging questions, you have to take a look at rock's red-eyed history and examine both the music made under the dizzy spell of artificial chemistry and the sober work that followed. "It's absurd to think that because some famous rock stars were drug addicts that doing drugs has anything to do with being a musician," counters Chris Adolf, frontman of Denver's Bad Weather California, who believes one thing has nothing to do with the other. "But you do run into that kind of attitude sometimes where people think that being 'really fucked up' is being 'rock and roll.'
Both the visual and vocal aspects are seen as in need of censorship. Rock and Roll is very energetic and fast paced. There is so much time, energy and emotions put into making a song. But all of this emotion and energy is somewhat displeasing to some people. “Rock music has one appeal only, a barbaric appeal to sexual desire- not love, not Eros, but sexual desire undeveloped and untutored…” says A. Bloom in Junk Food for the Soul by Frank Zappa.
Celebrity worship syndrome is an obsessive-addictive disorder in which a person becomes overly involved with the details of a celebrity's personal life. These fans will often hold a crush on a major film or TV star, singer, athlete or celebrity. The degree of devotion to celebrities can range from a simple crush to the deluded belief that they have a special relationship with the star which does not exist. In extreme cases, this can switch to hate of the previously loved celebrity, and result in attempts at violent attacks, one notable incident being the death of Rebecca Schaeffer by a stalking fan in 1989. Psychologists have indicated that though many people obsess over glamorous film, television, sport and pop stars, the only common factor between them is that they are all figures in the public eye.
Should Porn be Outlawed: Pornography’s Effects on Relationships, Society, and the Economy Pornography at its very core is a word that comes with much stigmatism. The word “pornography” come from Greek root words porne “prostitute, female slave” and graphos “to write, describe” (“Online Etymology Dictionary”). Right off the bat the word implies that the woman is a slave to the bidding, of the person producing the pornographic material. Defining pornography is a difficult task. Several factors can influence the definition of the word, the definition changes depending on the social and historical situation it is used in, something that was considered porn 100 years ago (Ex.
There are many situations and causes that lead to date rape. Parties that include alcohol or drugs or being alone and unsupervised on a date with a person someone just met. There might not even be a cause just that the person was a dangerous person. Most victims of rape are women. The men that rape women do it to feel powerful and in control.
