Rock Opera: Jesus Christ Superstar

Rock Opera: Jesus Christ Superstar

Everything's Alright in this famous rock opera.  With the music written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics written by Tim Rice, this was one of the most well-known plays of its time. It follows the story of Jesus and his disciples on the last week of Jesus's life. This play was originally just a recording released in 1970, but developed into a play in 1971, and eventually a movie in 1973.  The play has been performed over 50 times from even before it was authorized to be performed in 1971.  It has won many awards over its span, including the Drama Desk award for Most Promising Composer in 1972, and was nominated for even more awards, including a Tony for Best Original Score. This play has been seen by people all over the world, and continues to remain a favorite in many people's hearts today.

One day we need to have a conversation about how the majority of HR professionals are white women and how they operate as the single largest barrier to entry for non white people in corporate.

2nd Album Review: 21st Century Breakdown - Green Day

image

Green Day's rock opera and concept album 21st Century Breakdown won a Grammy for Best Rock Album, at the 52nd Grammy Awards, and I can really see why.  The album expresses the discontent and struggles of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's life, and the band's view of the 21st century.  It is full of references from the band's lives, and the punk tones mixed with rock riffs and influences really brings this concept album together.  Armstrong's one of a kind voice really supports this albums message and feelings, and it explores political and social aspects of the 21st century.  From the softer,slower tones of 21 Guns to the punk-rock explosion in East Jesus Nowhere, this album breaks down the century we live in through the riffs and vocals of Billie Joe, Mike, and Jason and the drumming of Tre.  Five well earned stars.

If haven't heard any of the album, go listen to East Jesus Nowhere. Great song.
