You Can Have My Isolation You Can Have The Hate That It Brings You Can Have My Absence Of Faith You Can

You can have my isolation You can have the hate that it brings You can have my absence of faith You can have my everything Help me Tear down my reason Help me It's your sex I can smell Help me You make me perfect Help me become somebody else

Closer- Nine Inch Nails

This song is from the album The Downward Spiral, which is about a man's descent into madness and ending in suicide.  This particular song is centered around how this man hates himself and escapes his insecurities through "love-making". He is obsessed with the person he is singing to, and views the person as their only connection to life. The album is full of songs with under-lying meanings and darker themes. The way Trent twists the lyrics to create these themes is amazing and improved his music all the more.

Artist Spotlight: Jimi Hendrix

Purple Haze. Angel. Along the Watchtower. Heard of any of these songs? Well, they were written by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, whose lead singer was none other than Jimi himself. Born in Seattle, Washington, he was raised by his father, with his brother. His first instrument was a one-string ukelele, which he used to learn songs by Elvis. His father bought him his first guitar at age 15, an acoustic guitar, but then at, age 16, his father bought him a white Supro Ozark electric, and after that was stolen, his father bought him a Silvertone Danelectro. He played in many bands before The Jimi Hendrix Experience, including the Velvetones, Curtis Knight and the Squires, and the King Kasuals, and in the Isley Brothers backing band. Hendrix met Linda Keith, Keith Richards Girlfriend, after playing a show in NYC, and soon after met the rest of the experience: Mitch Mitchell and Eric Clapton. They played at the 1967 Monterey Pop festival, and many of their singles, including their cover do Hey Joe, became popular worldwide. The Experience broke up in 1969, but Hendrix went on to perform at Woodstock and become the highest paid rock musician in 1969. Hendrix was one of the most influential guitarist of the 20th century.

Artist Spotlight: Sex Pistols

They say that John Lyndon, nicknamed "Johnny Rotten" first came to the Sex Pistols wearing a homemade "I Hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt and had green hair, and after playing with them, he joined the band, and their career officially took off. With new clothing designed by band member Malcolm McLaren's clothing store the Sex, the band began attracting all sorts of followers, many of which who went to start their own bands.  After performing at Saint Martins College, where member John Matlock was attending school, and after that, the band began playing gigs alt other colleges and art schools. Their career was taking off.

The Sex Pistols were creating a national stir as their violence and general outrageousness creating a big stir.  One of their better known incidents was dubbed "The Grundy Incident", where the drunk Sex Pistols members went on air on  Thames Television's Today program, where their swore and bantered with the host, Bill Grundy.  The group was looked down upon by the British government and higher ups, especially the queen.  But this also marked a turning point in the band. In 1977, John Matlock left the band, and was replaced by John Beverly, nicknamed "Sid Vicious".  He had no experience with the guitar, but had a reputation in the punk scene. He brought the already anarchist, anti-christ band to a new level, with their release "God Save the Queen" in 1977. This release really pushed the Sex Pistols to fame and lead to their arrest by police during their mockery of the Queen's procession on a boat. They were dropped by their record label, A&M, and yet still continued to release songs on their own. The band went on tour soon after, and then the violent attacks against the band and punk fans began to be more widespread. Their final official album, Never Mind the Bollocks: Here Come the Sex Pistols, was released October 1977, and then they went on their final tour, the US Tour.  Rotten and the band began becoming disgsted with Vicious and his outrageous behavior. Vicious was addicted to heroin, and was being, essentially, brought to his heroin addict girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, who the band had tried to get rid of for fear of Vicious's health, but had stuck around. The band began becoming more and more distant, and after Malcolm and the band abandoned Rotten in California, who was sick, with no money or transportation, the band's break-up was announced January 18, 1978.  The band never reunited, and Sid Vicious died of a drug overdose.  

This band was very influential in the punk rock movement, and popularized the idea of independent, underground producing and music.  They paved the way for other bands, such as Black Flag, to go on the path of punk rock, and shock people beyond belief. The band also popularized punk rock lifestyle and clothing, and left a mark still evident today.
