During this week, our topic changed a lot in class, but one really stood out to me.
The 50's Rock artists. My mother and I love plays and one of our most recent views was The Million Dollar Quartet. It contained Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. The second I heard Carl Perkins I could NOT get that play off my mind because it was one of my favorites so far! The actors were really good!
But, I enjoyed being able to start really knowing things about one of my family's greatest passions. It was interesting to learn about how rock advanced in such a short time. I like how free we are to our opinions, I think that's a pretty rare quality in a high school class. The multiple videos made class fun and easier to pay attention too.
Today in class we went over the Fun Fun Fun Fest and ACL lineups (check "Blog #1" for link). I haven't heard of to many music festivals, I knew of Fun Fun Fun Fest but someone told me it was for children and I lost interest (as I discovered today they were very wrong). I know of Lollapalooza, ACL, South by South West, and Bonnaroo.
I've never felt as free to speak as I do in History of Rock and Roll, it's strange...but fun.
Thanks for reading :)
Have a wonderful day/night!
