U2
U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 have released 13 studio albums and are one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 170 million records worldwide.[2] They have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band; and, in 2005, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.

Blues Magoos
History[edit] 1964 - 1971[edit] The band was formed in 1964 as "The Trenchcoats". The next single by the Blues Magoos, "There's A Chance We Can Make It," was only a minor hit, with its b-side "Pipe Dream" actually charting higher (though neither side hit the top 40). The group's management had other plans. 1972 - present[edit] In 2012, The Blues Magoos will release their first new album in 41 years, titled Psychedelic Resurrection.

The Doors
The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band took its name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, which itself was a reference to a William Blake quotation, from his famous work The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."[3] They were among the most controversial, influential and unique rock acts of the 1960s and beyond, mostly because of Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973.[4] The band, their work, and Morrison's celebrity continue to be considered inexorably embedded within the larger counterculture of the 1960s.[10][11][12][13][14] History[edit] 1965–68[edit] Debut album[edit]

Tribute To Graffiti: 50 Beautiful Graffiti Artworks | Monday Ins
Advertisement Street culture and graffiti are well-known for being provocative, appealing, bold and uncompromising. Originally used by gangs to mark their territory in some urban area, graffitis have now become a rich medium for unrestricted expression of ideas and statements. In fact, creative designers and artists across the globe use this form of art to deliver their message and showcase their work. Probably the most prominent graffiti artist is Banksy1, a famous pseudo-anonymous British artist whose works focus on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His art has appeared in cities around the world; it’s worth mentioning that Banksy does not sell photos of street graffiti or mount exhibitions of screenprints in commercial galleries. In this episode of Monday Inspiration series we are presenting a tribute to street art and graffiti — over 50 examples of beautiful and impressive graffiti artworks.

The 5 Most Terrifying Weapons Ever Created | The Daily Interweb
Like many people, I am fascinated by the human capacity for violence and destruction. Now, the stuff you see on the news, fires, shootings etc. is all pretty morbid but it is nothing compared to what humans are really capable of if we put our minds to it. You see, when I am surfing the web, it is inevitable that my ADD will kick in, and I will mindlessly click through Wikipedia for hours. The information I found regarding some of mankind’s most awesome and destructive weapons was truly terrifying. It is in our best interest as a species that most of these weapons are never used. Yet while using them may be a terrible idea, sharing their destructive capabilities with the world isn’t. 5. I begin with a weapon that has already seen active duty for over 30 years. 4. Our next terrifying weapon isn’t terrifying because of its destructive power, size, or speed. Robot wars. Even though the Predator is remote controlled, it is the first step that I believe will eventually lead to robot warfare. 3.
