Bob Dylan -- the Social and Musical Evolution of Folk Music to “Folk-Rock”
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses singer and songwriter Bob Dylan and is role as one of the major figures in American folk and rock music. It is important to understand that Dylan came to prominence in the midst of truly significant social, political, and ideological change in the United States. One critic wrote in 1998 that: “Bob Dylan couldn't wait for the music to change. He couldn't be only part of the change. He was the change itself. Unlike other songwriters who voiced their politics through their music, Dylan garnered widespread popularity as his words seemed to echo the sentiments of teens of thousands of thousands of the young “rebels” of the 1960s. He was thought of as both a musical and political visionary and apparently viewed himself in equally epic proportions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

BP Fallon's Interview with U2: "One But Not The Same"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Sometimes the simplest questions are the most telling, as BP Fallon found out in his interview with the musical group U2. His article entitled "One But Not The Same" delves deep into the psyche of Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam, the four primary players who have made U2 a musical icon. That Fallon steps away from traditional interview queries opens an entirely new aspect of information retrieval, inasmuch as celebrity personalities are often difficult to crack. This approach, however, remains simplistic in its structure yet reaches far within each man's personal realm. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
