What Chuck was successful at doing, was to turn those stereotypes around and proclaim that his brand of music (he was named the Godfather of Death metal for a reason) dealt with issues of life, and though he did write gore lyrics, they were merely tongue in cheek, B level horror movie lyrics. How was he able to do this while escaping any criticism from critics? How was he able to be so successful with only a guitar and a couple of other band members? We must dig deep into his life to find out what kind of person Chuck really was, and how his success was firmly established into becoming the most influential guitar player and founder of the most successful death metal band of all
This statement by Ralph Peer insinuates that each thing Jimmie Rodgers did in his musical career was created and calculated as opposed to being spontaneous and authentic. “He was not a good musician…Rodger’s gift was the ability to take a song and by bending the melody, breaking meter, finding guitar work that fit, and adding his signature yodel, to make his music seem an expression of his own personal feelings” (48). Jimmie Rodgers’ authenticity comes from creating music and not from the content and lyrics of his songs. Unlike, Guthrie who wrote most of his own songs Rodgers, “actually wrote very little of the material” (45). Peterson reveals, “In addition to rearranging old songs and buying new ones from admiring fans and aspiring songwriters, Jimmie was able to charm, coax, and beg a number of songs from his sister-in-law, Elsie McWilliams, who was a proficient musician and

Kemker 1 Benjamin Kemker English 2201-006 Ms. Maiti 19 October 2012 “Thick as a Brick” Jethro Tull’s 1972 single track self-titled album “Thick as a Brick” is an example of how political satire of one age can carry over to another. Ironically, one of the song’s themes is history repeating itself which is the appeal the song has to those willing to listen. At the time of its writing, front man Ian Anderson set out to do something completely different from the other big names in music.

It can be seen more as an artistic attack on nearly everything in mainstream society, including attitudes toward children, art, war, and general materialism.

This has later become the signature song of Kate Smith, a vocalist who sang the well-known revised version. However Woody Guthrie was not so moved by the song because according to him, it painted an unrealistic picture of america then.
Some called it a failure, but now it is considered a kind of cult classic due to its psychedelic setting and “trippy” vibes. Magical Mystery Tour became an album only as an afterthought. The project was delayed because they spent so much time working on the song “All You Need is Love.” The album held six tracks and made eight million in the first few weeks. Though it was a huge seller, the album was also a letdown and was not well received by critics. Though the project was fun and the Beatles got to wear funny walrus costumes, it didn’t have the energy that is greatly respected and admired in Sgt.
