Emerson is known to have written the hymn while he was living there. The hymn was sung during Concord’s 4th of July celebration in 1837. The poem was frequently reprinted in Newspapers for many years and encourages us to remember the heroism displayed in the Revolutionary war, and to always remember the ideals for which those soldiers died. Concord Hymn, as the title states, was meant to be sung, and the tune, if there ever was one, has evidently been lost. It is written in four verses of four lines each and the pattern alternates rhyme in every other line.
In major cities like Montreal and Quebec shows and festivities are arranged in the main public places to commemorate their nationalism. With the growing demand from First Nations for a national day of recognition, on June 13, 1996, after considerable consultation with Aboriginal organisations, June 21st was officially declared National Aboriginal Day. On this day the First Nations express their culture and nationalism. Since its inauguration, National Aboriginal Day has become part of the annual nationwide Celebrate Canada festivities held from June 21st to July 1st. June 21st was chosen because of the cultural significance of the summer solstice and because many Aboriginal groups mark this day as a time to celebrate their
The audience all sing along, lead by Springsteen and the E. Street Band—who themselves are rocking out to it as much as the audience is. As if “Born to Run” is more of a way to live not just a four-minute and thirty-second song. In the early days of playing “Born to Run” at concerts Springsteen would yell at the beginning of the song “nobody wins unless everyone wins” depicting how we all need each other to succeed. After some time he stopped doing this but it’s forever imprinted on the song in the music video of “Born to Run.” Even though, “Born to Run” was released in 1975 the magic it created still exists today. Reflecting on the world of each generation who “rediscovers” the song.
During the concert Luke Bryan played a lot of his hits, but there were a few that were chart toppers that he didn’t sing. At the end of the concert when he left the stage everyone start to scream and yell for more. People were going crazy not wanting the concert to end. After a few minutes Luke Bryan came back out on stage and started to sing a crowd pleaser which was a ballad called “Do I”. This song hit home to be because one of the first concerts my fiancée and I ever went to was for an artist that Luke Bryan opened up for.

The hippie legacy can be observed in contemporary culture in myriad forms — from health food, to music festivals, to contemporary sexual mores, and even to the cyberspace revolution. On January 14, 1967, the outdoor Human Be-In organized by Michael Bowen helped to popularize hippie culture across the United States, with 20,000 hippies gathering in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. On March 26, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick and 10,000 hippies came together in Manhattan for the Central Park Be-In on Easter Sunday. The Monterey Pop Festival from June 16 to June 18 introduced the rock music of the counterculture to a wide audience and marked the start of the "Summer of Love. "[46] Scott McKenzie's rendition of John Phillips' song, "San Francisco", became a hit in the United States and Europe.
In “The Craftmen’s Spectacle: Labour Day Parades in Canada, The Early Years”, authors Craig Heron and Steve Penfold address entirely on the making of Labour Day and what it changed into as the years progressed. Craig Heron and Steve Penfold begin with a brief summary of when Labour Day became an official statutory holiday in Canada on September 3rd, 1894 after five years of Canadian labour leaders lobbying to win the support support of both panels of the Royal Commission on the Relations of Labour and Capital in 1889. This day consisted of barbers, firefighters, butchers and other professions recognized in the working class. The holiday was originated based on two demands “one for public recognition of organized labour and its important role, and another for release from the pressures of work in capitalist industry” (Heron and Penfold 357). It is explained that the event was a public program organized solely by workers with no additional help.
The original goal of Cover the Night, as introduced in the viral KONY 2012 video, was to make Joseph Kony famous. That happened in a matter of days thanks to millions of people around the world who shared the KONY 2012 films. The event has expanded into a global day of action, embodied by the idea that our liberty is bound together and that the human connection extends around the globe, but starts across the street. Already, thousands of Kony 2012 supporters have contacted the African Union, the United Nations, global leaders, and heads of state, asking them to support international efforts to end LRA violence. On April 20, 2012, people all around the world served their local communities to promote justice for Joseph Kony in creative and
