The entertainment industry encompasses the composition, production, and marketing of music. The music industry has emerged as a dominant business and has maintained popularity by means of adapting alongside social movements, and representing different major classes of society. Music has been used by entertainers as a method of expression, and therefore often sheds light on prominent issues by illustrating relatable stories, or reactions to common problems. For example, The Drums, a modern Indie musical group, has composed the lyrics to the hit song “Money” to include imagery and repetition that work to expose the everyday struggle that impoverished Americans undergo.
In music, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Buddy Holly and Marvin Gaye were the most prolific people on the world stage. Marlon Brando, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe ruled the cinematic stage. However, the major highlight of this era was the dawn of technologies involvement in our life. Radio, television and all electronics in general no longer became wants but needs. Once somebody owned one they were aware of everything happening around them, knew what’s hot and what’s not and could be easily persuaded to buy the newest vacuum cleaner model or dress from the shops.
Heated debates and political oddities are bringing attention to the 2016 Presidential race at historical levels, giving Bernie Sanders the prime opportunity to expose key issues while rising in what he calls a “Political Revolution”. Despite the fact that there are several Republican and Democrat candidates currently running for President, only Bernie stands out as honestly representing the best interests of the American people; as the continuous growth in his polling numbers indicate. Although Hillary Clinton was projected to be the Democratic Party’s inevitable nominee, Senator Sanders has created fierce competition and a sense of doubt in even her strongest supporters. Bernie Sanders’ support will continue to excel over the next few months

Devin Dew Frisch ELA 10 Honors 27 March 2023 How Music has Shaped America In the United States a person listens to approximately 20 hours of music per week. Music plays a large role in most people's daily lives. It can change a person's mood, keep people focused, and be a good conversation topic. What most people don't realize is that music has played an important role in shaping America.
The 2013 musical hit, “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke, brought in approximately $16,675,690. This just goes to show how much money is spent and invested on, in music today (Feeney). Music has been apart of the United States culture for some time, while African Americans were enslaved, they used music quite frequently as a means of self- expression. The African music combined with the European music had a major influence on jazz. During the Civil War the troops created music together, this helped them learn how to work together and better understand how to get along, this just goes to show that music is not just a form of entertainment but also a way to bring people together (Carlin 6,9).

Country music is often viewed as the whitest and most segregated genre of music; however, its roots are heavily focused on the working-class Black man. Evidence of African Americans’ involvement in the country genre can be dated decades back, however, as time continues on, their presence has come to a halt, since other genres such as hip-hop and R&B evolved and are more accepting of the Black community. DeFord Bailey, who was the first African American country artist, had a strong influence on the progression of country music, however, it took years after his death for him to get recognized in the Country Music Hall of Fame----mainly due to his race. The idea of white dominance in country music dates back to its beginnings when Black people were forced to hide the color of their skin in order to gain acceptance into the country community and develop a large fan base. DeFord Bailey, Charley Pride, and Darius Rucker clearly portray the difficulties of trying to become a successful African American country artist and portray the impact of African-Americans on country music while also challenging the white notions associated with the lyrics.
Cultural Impact of Rock and Roll Amidst the 1960’s Jimi Hendrix formerly stated, “Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” A generation which was earnestly devoted to peace, protest, and revolution, the counterculture amongst the 1960’s yearned for change. Rock and roll was far beyond just a genre of music; it influenced lifestyles, protests, and attitudes, thus, kindling an awakening in the youth of American culture. The distinction between parental and youth culture was a persistent root of concern, considering that teens throughout the world found a sense of belonging in this style of music.

Although it has produced a new form of piracy, the advantages of music streaming far exceed the disadvantages. Indisputably, music streaming is the future of the music industry. The projected value of the music streaming industry in 2020 is 16.5 billion USD (P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP (PSAM), 2015) is and that suggests how the music streaming business will only get bigger from here. The music industry has to adapt and adjust to the development of music streaming in order to maximise its potential and yield the most benefits. As Leon C. Megginson so aptly put, “It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.”, without the ability to adapt, anyone would be left
