Perhaps the most famous example of unrequited love is that of Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) for Beatrice Portinari, with whom he apparently spoke only twice in his life, the first time when he was nine years old and she was eight. Although both went on to marry other people, Dante nevertheless regarded Beatrice as the great love of his life and his "muse" and made her the guide to Heaven in his great work The Divine Comedy. Another classic example of unrequited love in literature is the romance between Don Quixote and Dulcinea in D ...

Ronald Reagan - Domestic record. Reagan portrayed himself as being economicaly libertarian, in favor of tax cuts, smaller government, and deregulation. He also took a strong "tough-on-crime" stance.

American rock - Covers: Early 50s. Through the late 1940s and early 1950s, rhythm and blues music had been gaining a stronger beat and a wilder style, with artists such as Fats Domino and Johnny Otis speeding up the tempos and increasing the backbeat to great popularity on the juke-joint circuit. Despite the pioneering efforts of Freed and others, black music was still taboo on many white-owned radio outlets. However, savvy artists and producers quickly recognized the popularity and potential of rock and roll and ...

In the late 1950s the U.S. Beatnik counterculture was associated with the wider anti-war movement building against the threat of the atomic bomb, notably CND in Britain. Both were associated with jazz and with the growing folk song movement, which attracted idealistic communists and left-wingers working for an egalitarian overthrow of race discrimination in the U.S. and of the class structure in Britain. Rock and roll was seen as commercial pop, but subverted the race barriers in the U.S., and with the British invasion the reverence o ...

Post-grunge developed out of the grunge music scene of the early ninties, after the breakout success of bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This led to an intense interest in not only grunge, but alternative rock in general by record labels. By 1993 some of the first post-grunge bands had been signed to major labels and were beginning to garner mainstream attention, the two best examples of these being Collective Soul and Live. It is interesting to note however that the majority of these bands were not labeled "grunge" at the time (a few, s ...

En route to the Italian front, he stopped in Paris, which was under constant bombardment from German artillery. Instead of staying in the relative safety of t ...
