Death Post

By: Samantha Prusac, Cynthia Aynilian, Diane Wielgos

The Art of Dying by Graeme Thomson, was about death and how our society perceive it. Listening to songs about death all the time might cause a person to become extremely depressed. Equally just as important if you do not listen to these songs about death its like not wanting to listen to songs about life. This argument is very interesting and completely makes sense because a person should be exposed to all types of music about a variety of types.
In the article Dead, Ahead by James Sullivan talked about how an artist dies, their music lives on. Suddenly they have songs coming out after their death. A great example of this would be Elvis. These artists have released songs about or albums after their death. They have been turned into remixes or "dance mixes". This article doe snot have a counter argument. Sullivan stated a point and went with it.
The Show Goes On by Melina Newman is about death surrounding many popular bands, and how they move on with it. With the band Sublime, after Brad Nowell died they continued with the release of their album on the expected date. It seemed like this death was used as publicity on the album. We thought it was smart of them to do this and also they were respectful to ask the family what they wanted to do with releasing the CD.
