downloading music
I do agree that the people who actually write and perform the songs on these CDs do deserve to be paid for the work they have done and to have the recognition for their accomplishments. But on the other side of the coin, I disagree because the cost of most CDs today are over twenty dollars each. And many people cannot afford to purchase them. They are struggling to pay their bills and keep their homes. I think that since the music that is offered online has already been purchased by the people who are offering the downloads, that the royalties have already been made and this should be legal to do as long as it is for your own personal use.

me and music
As a teen I liked all kinds of music and some of it upset my Dad. We had all kinds of styles. The styles of my time and them of my dads, well were a whole lot different. I think the reason why my music bothered the older generation (my parents) is because they don't understand the styles of music I like.
Well here is my history of music that I grew up with as a teen. I grew up listening to mostly heavy rock, like Ozzy, Kiss, AC/DC, just to name a few. I also listened to Rap. This is a few of the groups that I like, Kid Rock, 50 Cent, Eminem, Akon, Lil' John, Lil' Wayne, Lil' White, DMX and Birdman. I listen to Country music also. Some of the artists I like are, Toby Keith, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Scooter Jennings, Johnny Cash, both Hank Williams Sr. and Jr., Alan Jackson, Jimmy Buffett, Charlie Daniels Band, Blake Shelton, Bucky Covington and Dierks Bentley.
This is some of the music my parents and I liked to listen to when I was growing up. Classic rock that I like included artists such as, Bruce Springsteen (The Boss), Rick Springsteen, The Beatles, The Byrds, The Lovin Spoonful, Fleetwood Mac, Lynard Skynard, Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top. I think that this is the style of music that my dad wishes I was still listening to now.
All the different styles of music today generated from the different styles of prior generations. An example of this would be how Elvis inspired The Beatles with his sound and movements. Each generation took something from the prior generation and modified the sounds, instruments and style.
This is the music that I grew up with, the music I enjoy listening to and the way that I believe that it was founded. I believe that if it wasn't for the blues, we wouldn't have all of the different styles of music today. They paved the way for many new generations.
