1st assignment

-Well, I enjoy listening to music and exposing myself to a variety of sounds. I thought this would be a interesting way to spend part of my day.
-If I could only take five pieces of music with me to a desert isle, i would have to take: "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead, "Idioteque" by Raidohead, "Djombwe" by Richard Bona, "Guajira Bonita" by Julian Avalos, "Crush" by Dave Matthews Band, and "The Only Living Boy in New York" by Simon and Garfunkel.
-I usually associate any songs by Frank Sinatra to my elders, particularly my parent’s generation.
-If it were up to me I would choose “The National Anthem” by Radiohead as the new national anthem, only because the title of the song is so very fitting.
-Playing bass in the UMM Cougar II jazz band.

-I would confess to being unfamiliar with her background, and ask her what event in her life convinced her to become politically involved and why this event carried so much conviction.
