    Rocky Horror Picture Show Speech

    We reside in a city notoriously known for its insane nightlife, so growing up here in Las Vegas has not always been the most enjoyable experience due to the numerous age restrictions downtown with little to no options for genuine fun other than your basic mall or movie trip, thus leaving every kid yearning to be 21 in order to have a bit of freedom. But what if I told you about The Rocky Horror Picture Show? A kooky tradition that has been around in here in Las Vegas for 14 years and known to the world for the past 42, that has brought unity and self expression to its audiences you too can be a part of.…

    How Did The Beatles Become Successful

    Now in the USA, the Beatles released twenty albums between the years of 1962 to 1970 and became the number one rock group during these years (Wikipedia). They also became the first and only group in recording history to release a hit song on both sides of a single 45 rpm record as well to have twenty songs reach number one (The Beatles: Introduction). The Beatles lasted from 1962 to 1970 with many of their songs becoming instant successes. Often the concerts were short with them playing less than half an hour, yet the crowd went crazy and loved them. For example, their first concert in America at the Washington Coliseum was a huge surprise to the Beatles. In Davies biography of the Beatles, Ringo states, "Unlike in Britain where a decent 2,000 people showed up, in America the crowd was packed more than 20,000!" (241). Wherever the…

    In fact, they were so unprepared that it took them over a year to replicate their own versions. “Meantime, having been in the thrall of the Beatles for several years, the whole of Merry Olde England singing shipped over here to exploit the drought.” HuffPost 2. Then you had the Animals, the Kinks, The Rolling Stones, Herman’s Hermits, etc. More importantly in the future, the scene in England would become as vital to the growth of rock music as any local activities in Detroit, Philadelphia, Memphis, LA, New York City, or San Francisco ever was. After 1964, and for the next 40 years, an English artist or group was responsible for at least one Number one Top 40 single here, and often many…

Both these groups came to America and changed the way Americans were listing to music.…
