50 years since the day that music died

Hi everyone. My name is Pat. This is the first article for me.

Today, I found one of interesting article that I want to share with all of you.
Here is the link click here!!!

The name of this article is 50 years since the day that music died. They talk about fifty years ago that we lost three rising star who are Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P.Richardson (as known as The Big Bopper). They are the single who came to performs in concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake was part of the Winter Dance Party. In that time Ritchie Valens is the highlight person in this concert. The hit songs for him are "La Bamba" and "Donna". The Big Bopper is the name of Taxas disc jockey J.P.Richardson and his hit song is "Chantilly Lace." They are going to performing a lot every night between Iowa and Minnesota and in that time is winter time. Transpotation quite bad they are took plane from Mason city airport. Unfortunately that after plan take off, it crashed in an Iowa cornfield then this accident kill three rising stars. After that accident Larry Lehmer wrote the song named "The Day the Music Died" for all of them.

In my opinion, I ever listen this song "The day the music died" in famous movie "American pie" but i did not know about history of this song before then today after i read this article it has interesting history why the author wrote this song.

Target " Rough Road Ahead "

Hi I'm Ali

I read through this article " Click here "

and it talks about the famous company Target
They are facing hard times; their stocks drop 7 percent
Even the big online company Amazon is facing a similar situation

and BestBuy announced that " employees at its corporate headquarters have signaled they want to accept buyouts ".

I was surprised when I heard that they will close thousands of stores in order to adjust to the drop, including 11 stores of macy's

I think the people don't go to Target to buy food and supplies for home
because it's not really the first or the best place for it
There are another places with better quality and offers

The question is what is the major causes of this situation?
and I disagree with the idea of closing so many branches, because it's not the best idea. there are always another solutions.

Sculptures and paintings in museums, now books too!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!! I listened to this podcast and I think that is sort of original. Here is the link: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2009/01/29/alibraryfilledwithart/

I consider that it has been an original idea to organize an exhibition of books. We are used to visit museums to admire sculptures and paintings, but never books. Walker Art Museum is going to exhibit books!!!! Since earlys 80's they have collected 25,000 books from different materials, authors, centuries, and topics, so by itself, this collection represents an impressive treasure.  We have seen books as objects included in a picture, or as a part of a sculpture. But, books can be an object of recognized art.  That's in fact the point of this article. With this movement, many librarians realize how important their work is, and that books represent and invaluable object. Now, it is consider as art. Remember that books are not only master pieces in the letter's world. First books were made by hands. There was no printer. So, that's why I consider that they are art. In this article, there were mentioned some examples. One of them is about a cuban artist who made a boat with his schoolbooks, and others have made stairs as small sculptures. This exhibition will include a coach, a table and books available to turn its pages. But, as a matter of fact, there will be other ones that will be under a glass, because of its own historic relevance. I hope to see the first version of some historical books, or some interesting images printed in some of them. As the example of Alice in Wonderland that R. Walker, Walk Art Museum's librarian, described. Imagine, it will be shown the illustration from one drawer and on the other hand, Salvador Dali's version, representing his hallucinogeic style. I think that it's a great idea!!!! And, try to remember when was the last time that you started to read a book. Maybe a long time ago. So, this exhibition will invite people to come back to the last lecture that they stopped.
