LifeStyle of the Rich and Famous... Maybe We Should Rob Them.
So we were told in the first day of class that we had to get this "Idea Journal" for class. Either write it in a plain boring "so yesterday" paperback book or we can, WOW, blog it! (So in!) Lecturers are so cool these days, huh? And school is making us so Tech savvy. Wow... amazing stuff. So anyway, this journal is supposed to help us get ideas for some thesis we have to write, interesting... We can do any topic we want... Interesting...
So then I was paying full attention to my lecturer, trying to make up for being late.
"Hmm..." I thought, "Maybe I should do one about tardiness among Poly students..."
Then again, could there be a topic more boring than that? I don't think so.
So I put on my thinking cap again.
"Maybe I could write a piece about a hamster my boyfriend gave to me..."
Oh, such a bad idea because then I would have to do a research, like what they did for Finding Nemo. No, I don't have to go diving, but I do have to go find a boyfriend and make him buy me a hamster. So no, too much trouble.
So I think I'm going to write about Bon Jovi, because they ROCK!
But suddenly, I hear Mr.Wong's voice echoing in my ears... "Go away..... Go away...."
Eerie...
I guess for now, I'd like to write about Rock Culture. Write about rockstars like Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, etc. I could write about their lifestyles. Are their lives really as cool as it seems? What are the things they go through? How did they get where they are today?
Yeah, I guess that's a thought.

[MR WONG'S FEEDBACK]
I have only one to say about theses/essays pertaining to music: they're TOUGH to do, largely because you could have a lot of trouble defining a Thesis Statement that won't suddenly become like a biography of that musician/band (how they started; who influenced them; their best album/s; etc.) - which is NOT what we're doing in this module.
Perhaps you could examine the INFLUENCE of a specific kind of rock music. For example, some death metal groups have been accused of triggering their fans into performing acts of violence. Is it solely the music that is to blame, or are there other aspects of these fans' lives that should actually be pinpointed as the causes of their behaviour?
So if you really want to do something on music, think hard.
