First blog! (1/15/09)

Subcultures and interviewing/studying people are not exactly things that pop into my mind when I think of a typical English class. However, now that the assignment has been given, and will stick for an entire semester, I am rather excited to get started. I am personally interested in music. I love to perform, going to see concerts, and even taking music classes here at Ball State. Music, however, is too broad to be a subculture so I have tried to narrow it down in many ways. I could research a particular interment. I could also research a particular time period (such as the Romantic era). Thinking more along today’s lines (and not the history of music) I could write about music classes, concerts, or current performers. I am also interested in finding two different subcultures of music that have some connection and trying to compare and contrast them. No matter what I end up doing, I’m glad that in this class we are allowed to pick what we research instead of being given topics or even guidelines.
