Smash Hits by James E. Perone Pdf

We are what we listen to. That's the premise of this study of 100 songs that have shaped and defined the American experience, from the Colonial period to the present. Well-known music author James Perone looks at 100 songs that helped tell America's story. He examines why each song became a hit, what cultural and social values it embodies, what issues it touches upon, what audiences it attracted, and what made it such a definitive part of American history and popular culture. The chart-topping singles presented here crossed gender, age, race, and class lines to appeal to the mass American audience. The book discusses patriotic songs, minstrel music, and sacred songs and hymns as well as music in the broad categories of pop, rock, hip hop, jazz, country, and folk. An introduction provides an overview of the history and significant issues raised by the songs as a whole. Individual songs are then presented chronologically, based on when they were written. The revealing commentary for each "hit" is not only interesting and fun, but reveals what it was like to live in the United States at a particular time by unveiling the social, economic, and political issues—as well as the musical tastes—that made life what it was.

Mississippi Travel Guide *Road Trip: Discover the Beauty of the Sout * USA eBook by Baktash Vafaei Pdf

Mississippi is a state in the southern United States of America. It is located between Louisiana to the west, Arkansas to the north, Tennessee to the northeast, Alabama to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Mississippi is the 32nd state to be admitted to the Union in 1817 and has an area of about 125,000 square kilometers. In this chapter, we will take an in-depth look at the geography, history, and culture of Mississippi. Geography Mississippi is a state crisscrossed by rivers and waterways, characterized primarily by agriculture and forestry. The Mississippi River flows along the western border of the state, while the Tennessee River flows through the northeast. The Pearl River flows through the southern part of the state and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Mississippi also has numerous lakes, including Grenada Lake, Ross Barnett Reservoir, and Sardis Lake. The state has a subtropical climate zone with hot, humid summers and mild winters. The average temperature in summer is 32 degrees Celsius, while the average temperature in winter is 7 degrees Celsius. History Mississippi has a rich history dating back to the Native Americans. The first inhabitants of the area were Native American tribes such as the Chickasaw, the Choctaw, and the Natchez. However, over time, French, Spanish and British also came to the region and fought for control of the area. Mississippi was an important source of cotton and other agricultural products during slavery, which led to the state becoming a major economic center. During the Civil War, Mississippi played an important role as a member of the Confederacy, which led to it being shaped later in the decades that followed by Union rebuilding and the civil rights movement. Culture The culture of Mississippi is diverse, ranging from music to art and cuisine. The state is known for its contributions to music, especially blues and jazz. Famed musician Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and Delta blues originated in the Mississippi Delta region. The blues and other genres of music are celebrated throughout the state, especially at the annual Mississippi Delta Blues & Heritage Festival in Greenville. Mississippi also has a rich culinary tradition, including traditional Southern cuisine. Some of the most popular dishes include fried chicken, barbecue, gumbo, cornbread, and sweet potato pie. Many of these dishes are served at festivals across the state. Finally, Mississippi is also known for its antebellum homes and historic sites. Many of these pre-Civil War properties have been preserved and are now used as museums. These include, for example, the Beauvoir estate, which served as the retirement home of the former President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis, and is now a museum. Also worth seeing are the antebellum houses in Natchez, which have been restored to their original form and give a glimpse into the life of the Southern aristocracy before the Civil War.
