Unlike many contemporary war characters, Rock had a deep loathing for the war, but was grimly loyal to his unit to see it through. This loyalty extends to when he was sent home to be a combat instructor, but insisted on returning to his unit in the field while on leave. Kanigher insisted late in the run of Sgt. Rock that the title character would not survive the war. However, this too was at odds with the established backstory. See ...

A line of 3-3/4" action figures bearing the SGT. ROCK name was released in the 1980s by Remco Toys, likely as a result of the popularity of Hasbro's G.I. Joe toy line. The figures had little resemblance to the World War II characters of the comic books. The Sgt. Rock figure was depicted in Vietnam-era fatigues and gear and had an M-16 rifle instead of a Thompson submachine gun. Other generic figures were sold, with no other characters recognizable from the comics. These US troops also had Vietnam-era equipment and helmets/helmet covers or be ...

Igneous rocks are classified according to mode of occurrence, texture, chemical composition, and the geometry of the igneous body. The classification of the many types of different igneous rocks can provide us with important information about the conditions under which they formed. Two important variables used for the classification of igneous rocks are particle size, which largely depends upon the cooling history, and the mineral composition of the rock. Feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and micas are all important ...

While a few bands of the 1970s and 1980s such as Genesis, Gentle Giant, Rush, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd had experimented with unusual meters, such groups were generally grouped under the heading progressive rock. Canadian punk rock group No Means No (founded in 1979) have been cited as a "secret influence" on some math rock.[1] In the 1990s a heavier, rhythmically complex style grew out of the broader noise rock scenes active in Chicago and other Midwestern cities, with influential groups also coming out of Japan and Southern Calif ...

The influence of rock and roll is far-reaching, and has had significant impact worldwide on fashion, film styles, and attitudes towards sex and sexuality and use of drugs and alcohol. This impact is broad enough that "rock and roll" may also be considered a life style in addition to a form of music. Rock music - 127 Underground Rock.

Bass Rock - The Lauder Family. Historically the home of the Lauder of The Bass family (from whom Sir Harry Lauder is descended), who are the earliest recorded proprietors, the island is said to have been a gift from King Malcolm Canmore. Their crest is, appropriately, a Gannet standing upon a rock. The family had from an early date a castle on the island. In 1497 King James IV visited the Bass and stayed in the castle with Sir Robert Lauder of The Bass (d.before Feb 1508). The boatmen who conveyed the King ...

The growth of a variety of "underground" music scenes and the increasing availability and ease-of-use of synthsizers and other electronic musical instruments led to many more bands conspicuously using synthesizers. Some acts used electronic instruments almost exclusively. Many artists were described as "synth rock" and many genres had prominent artists that used synthesizers.

Whatever the beginning, it is clear that rock appeared at a time when racial tensions in the United States were coming to the surface. African Americans were protesting segregation of schools and public facilities. The "separate but equal" doctrine was nominally overturned by the Supreme Court in 1954. It can hardly be a coincidence, then, that a musical form combining elements of white and black music should arise, and th ...

Natural rock flour is typically formed during glacial migration, where the glacier grinds against rock beneath it, but is also produced by freeze thaw, where the act of water freezing and expanding in cracks helps break up rock formations. Although clay-sized, its particles are not clay minerals but typically ground up quartz and feldspar. Rock flour is carried out from the system via meltwater streams, where the particles travel in suspension. Rock flour particles can travel great distances either suspended in water or by the wind, in the la ...

Sedimentary rocks are economically important in that they can be used as construction material. In addition, sedimentary rocks often form porous and permeable reservoirs in sedimentary basins in which petroleum and other hydrocarbons can be found. It is believed that the relatively low levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, in comparison to that of Venus, is due to large amounts of carbon being trapped in limestone and dolomite sedimentary layers. The flux of carbon from eroded sedi ...

Credit for starting the genre is often given to David Bowie or Marc Bolan of T. Rex. The stars of Andy Warhol's play "Pork" are also considered influential. Wayne County was in particular an influence on David Bowie. In America, glam rock was most prominently represented by the proto-punk New York Dolls, whose sleazy Rolling Stones-influenced rawk was matched by the wildly feminine look of the band. A sensation in New York City, the group was never able to find a wider audience, although their subsequent influence was great. Earlier, ...

While many Australasian bands from the 1980s remained cult acts outside of Australia, some, including Little River Band, AC/DC, INXS, Midnight Oil and, later, Crowded House and Kylie Minogue, found wide success for years. Others, like Men at Work, became one-hit wonders throughout most of the world. Acts like The Church, Hunters & Collectors Hoodoo Gurus and the second incarnation of The Saints developed strong followings in Europe and other regions, while other more commercial acts such as singer John Farnham were very successful for many years within Australia, but re ...

Some influences on the early breed of noise rockers were the stark rock and roll of The Velvet Underground, the bluster of the Stooges, the no wave movement of the late 1970s, and Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. Sonic Youth, for instance, propelled the No Wave aesthetic into the new direction of noise rock. Later, the sound became associated with Japanese artists such as Boredoms and Melt Banana, who incorporated the influences from Japanese noise music even further, and occasionally adopted completely chaotic structures creating extremely short, fast "songs" which were marked by blasts of rhythm, scream ...

Cumulates are named according to their dominant mineralogy and the percentage of crystals to their groundmass. Adcumulates are rocks containing ~100-93% accumulated magmatic crystals in a fine grained groundmass. Mesocumulates are rocks with between 93-85% accumulated minerals in a groundmass. Orthocumulates are rocks containing between 85-75% accumulated minerals in groundmass. Cumulate rocks are typically named according to the cumulate minerals in order of abundance, and th ...

Theatre and Cinema played an important role in the Glam rock movement. The stars of Andy Warhol's stage play "Pork" are considered influential on the movement. Wayne County was in particular an influence on David Bowie. Another Andy Warhol Superstar, Jackie Curtis, was influential on the look and dress of glam rock.

Korea and Japan have a long, complex history of cultural exchange, war, and political rivalry (see: Korean-Japanese disputes). The Liancourt Rocks are the last disputed territory between Korea and Japan following World War II. In 1145, Samguk Sagi (History of Three Kingdoms of Korea) records that the Usan-guk was conquered and "re-integrated" into Silla in 512. However, Samguk Sagi itself only mentions an Usan state, not two islands of Ulleung and Usan. Other records, such as Sejong Sillok, Goryeo ...

The British style of folk-rock (in its early years, often called electric folk) was established by the band Fairport Convention, who formed in North London in the late 1960s. Steeleye Span, also prominent in this vein, was formed by folk musicians who wished to add electric instruments and experiment with song structures. Across the English Channel, a similar fusion of folk and rock elements can be found in the Breton folk rock music of Malicorne (1970s) and in some of th ...
