Born in Liverpool on October 9, 1940, was shot to death on , 1980 by a fanatical fan. December 8, 2005 marks the 25th anniversary of this tragic and senseless loss.

There are many words to describe John Lennon. He was an unruly, stubborn and a disobedient, troubled youth. He failed at art school, yet swore to his aunt that and;one of these days I'm going to be famous and you'll be sorryandquot;.

He called himself a leader, yet did some of his best work alone. He was an alleged wife beater, very outspoken, often putting out contoversial quotes to the media; either to make a point or just to be outlandish. But when he spoke, people listened.

He was a partner with his boyhood friend, and together they left a musical writing partnership and a legacy that is unequalled to this day and may never be. The Beatles, with their producer George Martin, changed music in dramatic fashion; with studio techniques that had never been attempted.

They pioneered the concept album with andquot;Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Bandandquot;, which the editors of list as the greatest rock album of the rock era.

He had the attention of our government with his anti-war protests and at one point was under . He sang of love and peace and living in harmony, with all people coming together as one. There are some who called him a genius. He could be nasty, resentful and mean-spirited. He fought his demons and it seems he was winning, until December 8, 1980.

We can only recall his career, from the beginning, until the end and who doesn't know the story about the four lads from Liverpool. He was part of the group that changed rock and roll music history.

We can only wonder what John Lennon would be doing if he were alive today. How active would he be in promoting world peace? Would he still be creating wonderfully crafted rock and roll songs?

I had a notion that was somewhat of a trivial pursuit...

Honestly, I only followed my course because I needed the credits. I am sure some of you out there can relate to that. I did not know how fully history could be. You see, in our culture many of us do not really study to comprehend music. For much of the world, music is a language, but for us it is a thing that we consumed passively.

When I started to study about the history of Western music, however, it changed all that for me. I have had some experience using musical instruments, but I have never mastered one enough to really comprehend what music is all about. This class showed me.

When a lot of us think about the history of music, it means the . We presume that the history is plain because the music is plain. In fact, neither is the case. The history of music, whether you're talking about classical music, rock music, jazz music, or any other kind, is always complex. New chord structures are set up carrying with them new forms of understanding humanity. New rhythmic patterns are established, carrying with them new methods of understanding history. And music shows all of it.

History of music nowadays is even more interesting. Even when the class was ended, I could not stop learning about the history of music. It had stimulated my appetite, and I wanted more. I acquired all the music history volumes that I could discover. I even started to examine forms of music that had not interested me before in the hopes of improving my musical knowledge further. When I was in school studying toward a very different subject - a degree in engineering - I had thought about giving it up and going back to obtain a degree in musicology. That is how much I am fascinated by the subject.

If you have never taken a course in the history of music, you don't know what you are missing out on. You do not miss what you don't know about in a way but then again... Believe me the CDs will never sound the same to you again. Actually not only the Cds but any type of media you are or will be using to play your favorite music. The whole thing will seem much more rich, much more luminous, and much more important. A new song can reflect a new way of being, and a new way of imagining existence in the world. This is what learning about the history of music means to many of us. Just try it and you will see.

Listening to music now has a whole new meaning. You can imagine all the different types of musical patterns there are in the world. It make your musical mind really expand.

Early Beginnings

The original members of the band all spent their early lives performing in any of several post-punk bands that were prevalent on the at the time. Given that many of these bands performed together and in the same venues, they got to know each other, and two of the members, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon, dated for a time before the band was formed, and they would eventually marry and have a child.

Moore and Gordon also discovered that they had common musical tastes, and they began to perform together. They eventually recruited the other members and "officially" formed Sonic Youth in 1981. Their first gig was at a 10-day "Noise Festival" in the of SoHo, and their performance was a resounding success.

Early Beginnings

The original members of the band all spent their early lives performing in any of several post-punk bands that were prevalent on the at the time.

Moore and Gordon also discovered that they had common musical tastes, and they began to perform together. They eventually recruited the other members and "officially" formed Sonic Youth in 1981.

Band Beginnings

The band originally came together in Birmingham, England in the early 1960's, and each of the original members had been playing in local bands without much more than regional success. Ultimately, each of the five original members grew together to form The Moody Blues and performed for the first time under their current in their home town in 1964.

From there, the band's name was known around the world, and they capitalized on this newfound fame by continuing to improvise and create a new style of rock and roll.



It was their 1967 release, Days of Future Passed, which really set their name in stone as true musical stars. This release contained two legendary singles, including "" and "Tuesday Afternoon," and these songs continue to be their most popular and recognizable releases to this day.



The band continued to tour aggressively, and in 1973, citing burnout, they decided to go their separate ways for a time.

Therefore, it's not uncommon that the average AC/DC tickets buyer will try to ponder the question: What AC/DC song rocks the hardest? That kind of study would take a whole novel. For the purpose of narrowing down some of the parameters of the debate, we'll focus on two classic songs about rocking from AC/DC's Dity Deeds Done Dirt Cheap album, "There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'" and "Rocker." Let's take a look at the lyrics.

THERE'S GONNA BE SOME ROCKIN'

"Well me and the boys are out to have some fun/ Gonna put on a show - Come on lets go/ There's gonna be some rockin'/ There's gonna be some rockin'/ There's gonna be some rockin' at the show tonight./ Every night there's a rock 'n' roll Queen/ Gonna quiver and quake/ Gonna shake her thing/ There's gonna be some rockin'/ We got a big fat sound/ Wanna share it round/ Got a big bass drum/ Gonna have some fun/ There's gonna be some rockin'"

ROCKER

"I'm a rocker/I'm a roller/I'm a right out of controller/ I'm a wheeler/I'm a dealer/ I'm a wicked /I'm a bruiser/ I'm a cruiser/I'm a rockin' rollin' man./ Got slicked back hair// Cadillac car/ And a teenage dream./I'm a rocker/ I'm a roller/ A rockin' rollin' man/ Got lorex socks/ Blue suede shoes/ V8 car/ And tattoos/ I'm a rocker/ I'm a roller/ A rockin' rollin' man"

The similarities between these song lyrics are too numerous to name, but when you see them side by side you can notice some subtle differences in rock philosophy. "There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'" describes an even that will, if AC/DC can help it, rock in the foreseeable future, whereas "Rocker" describes a person ("I" not "We") who has already achieved the status of "rocker" (as well as "roller"). First person narration is the most obvious difference, but also the least meaningful.

If we're here to discover what rocking is, then we need to look at the rock each song seeks to relate to the audience. That said, the major difference seems to be a matter of superficiality. "There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'" is a vastly superior AC/DC rock song because the rocker it describes is a doer. He's going to have some fun, include others, share it round, quiver, quake, put on a show. He gets after it and makes rock happen. In contrast, "Rocker" seems to portray a man who rocks simply because of his many possessions- a fast car, tattoos, women, tight jeans, lorex sox (what are those anyways?).

So you have to ask yourself, are you a rocker because you have the gear, or are you a rocker 'cause you take the wheel and steer? Do you necessarily rock because of the things you own, or because of the lifestyle you lead? Actions rock much louder than possessions.

Back to the year 1973, there was the guy named Lars Ulrich (the one who finally become the band's drummer) had accidentally found the music record of the music band "Deep Purple". The record was the record of live concert which was performed in Copenhagen, Denmark. Then he suddenly got the inspiration of being the drummer and he dreamed that one they, he will be the great drummer link what he saw in the concert record (even though is was only 9 years old at that time).

Lars had joined with Diamond Head for few months until he decided that he need to have his own music band.

Finally, they decided to form up the rock music band which will have only two members.

The documentary style is executed by each of the taking turns narrating the story, and the plot itself is supported by several of the band's biggest chart-topping hits.



The band members each knew each other growing up in one of the tough areas of New Jersey, and they soon began to rehearse and sing together. Their sound was seen as quite innovative at the time, and eventually their genre became known as "doo wop." Each of the band members and the band collectively dealt with many life struggles, and these trials and tribulations are described as the characters are developed.



Given their lack of funds, the band had to not only write, but also produce and perform their own music, and they had to promote their work independently for a time as well. However, their extreme diligence finally led to a record contract and dozens of chart-topping hits.



Production History

Jersey Boys Chicago tickets are available on the heels of highly-successful appearances in other venues.

For over 35 years, Aerosmith has been lighting up venues all over the world with their brand of and incredibly intense concerts, and the band is back for another tour. Although Aerosmith is beloved by millions and has served as an inspiration for countless bands that have followed them, their time together was not without .

Early Beginnings

The band came together mostly by happenstance, as the five men who ultimately formed the group were all in playing in different bands and knocking around in local clubs. Each of the members shared a vision of that was a bit of a departure from the recently-completed 1960's, in that they all wanted to incorporate an edge into their sound and to do whatever they could to work their on-stage and private personalities into their delivery.

As such, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, Steven Tyler and Ray Tabano got together and began to jam regularly. They discovered that they were a good mix, and they came up with a plan to form a hard rock and roll band. It was 1970, and music was beginning to move away from the psychedelic 1960's and into an uncertain musical time, which was the perfect opportunity with a band that carried an innovative sound.

The band began to work the club scene in Boston, and their live shows immediately led to a local among music followers. Record producers caught wind of this reputation and heard the band in 1972. Immediately after a show, Columbia Records signed Aerosmith to a record deal.

The band got to work on their first album, but they continued to tour relentlessly. Their initial release came out in 1973 and was entitled, fittingly enough, Aerosmith. The record was met with success, as it climbed to number 21 on the charts. Given the success of their debut and the already-high demand for Aerosmith tickets, the band had already established a name for itself.

High-Flying Success

Aerosmith took off on the heels of that first album, and while still continuing to tour endlessly, their studio work produced a string of smash hit albums. Over the next three decades, the band released 13 subsequent albums, and all of them sold at least one million copies each. Aerosmith was also known by many as the greatest concert band in the world.

As was and is typical with high-flying rock and roll bands, Aerosmith's lifestyle mirrored the typical rock and roll story. All of the band's members were notorious party animals, and their fame and fortune allowed them to cross over into several mainstream markets, which was a rare accomplishment at the time.

Struggles

This lifestyle led to several obstacles for both the individual members and the band as a whole. The band struggled with addiction and substance abuse, and this problem hit its high point in the early 1980's. Their problems with drugs and alcohol became so severe that the band began to splinter into several directions and Columbia Records began to withdraw its support for the band's albums and tours. These problems hit the news when Tyler was arrested for possession of cocaine in 1983. He plead guilty to the charges and received a fine and probation.

Ultimately, pressure from peers and management persuaded the band's members to seek help, which they did, and they got back to work. As soon as they began releasing additional albums, their success was as immediate as it was during their formative years.

Overall, Aerosmith is known for their personality, their legendary live performances and their innovative hard rock style. Aerosmith tickets will allow you to see a band that has stayed cool for more than three decades, and they're always worth the effort to see.
