This week in class we talked about a famous artist by the name of Johnny Cash. This musician was very unique in many ways. For one, he played concerts for people in maximum security prisons. No other artist did this which just further helped his fame. I personally think this is very clever because he is bringing music to people who don't usually get any sort of entertainment which is understandable because they are criminals. Another reason he stood out is because of his unique voice. It was very deep and distinct. To be a great musician you need something like this which helps you excel past the other artists. I personally didn't know much about Cash nor did I listen to his music but from what I've read and what i've listened to he seems like a one of a kind artist.
This is a blog devoted to the ideas and analysis of BSU students as they discover, listen, read, analyze the works of various musical artists, across various genres, whose music centers on political, social, and/or cultural issues. The ultimate goal of the class, other than focusing on the students' writing skills, is to allow them the space and time to express their own opinions and ideas, to expose them to music that can and has made significant change.
