Whiskey Lullaby

1). How does one distinguish happy music from sad music (Furukawa, 2)? The claim this text makes is that people associate emotions with music based upon “cues such as key, tempo, lyrics, or volume” (Furukawa, 3). This often leaves room for interpretation of each individual piece of work (Furukawa, 3). The emotions felt when listening to music is based upon what we perceive to be pleasant or unpleasant (Furukawa, 3). This is the reason for the possible variance in emotion felt from the same musical stimulus (Furukawa, 5). Despite the difference in opinion on a specific piece everyone knows of a certain song that will make them feel sad (Furukawa, 5). One text that is often considered by most listeners to be sad is the song “Whiskey Lullaby” by the artists Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss and was written by Bill Anderson and John Randall. This text can be found as an audio recording on iTunes and was first released on March 29, 2004 (Krauss and Paisley). This song is about a man and a women who were so miserable apart they both ended up taking their own lives because they felt they had nothing more to live for (Krauss and Paisley). The purpose of this song is to make an individual see that love is a great thing while you have it, but after its over can be haunting and cause distress (Krauss and Paisley). The major factor that cues one into the fact that this song is meant to be sad is that the song is in a minor key (Krauss and Paisley). Another significant factor…

An event in which occurred in early American history is the Whiskey Rebellion. This event took place in Western Pennsylvania and started in 1791. Alexander Hamilton, who was George Washington’s Secretary of the Treasury, had an idea to impose or to put taxes on all whiskey products produced and sold in the U.S.A. Congress in 1791 established excise tax. This way, the U.S can pay of the enormous debt they are facing because of the Revolutionary War that occurred prior to this event. With nearly…

The 1793 Whiskey Rebellion was an uprising of southwestern Pennsylvania distillers who were incensed by Hamilton’s excise of the exportation of whiskey two years earlier. Duties levied on alcohol considerably strained the commerce of backwoods communities where it represented the region’s major trade good, causing an outbreak of tarring-and-feathering revenue officers who attempted to collect the tax. Much like Shays’ Rebellion, Washington reacted with excessive force in response to a tiny…

Washington, made a proclamation that addressed the protest against the Whiskey Tax. This proclamation not only addressed the farmers in the western counties of Pennsylvania who were protesting the excise tax on whiskey, but also rallied Washington’s supporters to ally with him in hope of aiding his army to stop those who were rebelling. The Whiskey Rebellion was first proposed by Alexander Hamilton with hopes of helping the nation recover from its debt resulting from the Revolutionary War. Due…

The Revolutionary War is debatably the most important event in our country’s history. The war for the separation of the two regions was very complex, covered multiple issues, too many people died, and cost an enormous amount of money. The Whiskey Rebellion was an important couple of years which tested the United States Leadership and the policies they created. The second and third order of effects of the Whiskey Rebellion are just as important as the events as these events would go on shape…

If a brand excels at delivering benefits, then it was successful at uncovering unmet consumer needs and wants (Kotler, 2012). Fireball created the buzz around the cinnamon whisky category and not only made an impact on the whiskey category as a whole, but on the industry outselling leading brands. Due to the instant success of making waves in the market, after rebranding, I would give Fireball a grade of A in this category. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire was launched following the success of…

national debt incurred from the war. Washington still needed to prove that the United States of America under her newly ratified constitution was worthy of respect and was true to her word. Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of Treasury under Washington, had many proposals for lightening the debt load, but not all were received by Congress. [FOUR PILLAR IDEA, SUCCESSES AND FAILURE]. [WHY COUNTRY STILL IN DEBT]. Under Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, Congress has the power to…

Garnish with orange wheel and cherry (if desired). Let’s let our minds wander back to Downtown Crossing to a dimly lit bar in 1898. Picture yourself sitting in what was one of Boston’s finest dining establishments, the Locke-Ober Café (now known as Yvonne’s). It is the night before Election Day, and the Hendricks Club is gathered at the bar awaiting victory of their founder, Irish-American politician Martin Michael Lomasney, AKA “The Mahatma”. They are there to celebrate the certainty of…

However, by the time the militia arrived at Pittsburg, the insurgents had already dispersed and most could not be found. Nonetheless, a few who were captured by the militia were charged with treason. However, a scarcity of evidence and the inability of the prosecution team to find witnesses hampered the trials. However, two men, Philip Weigel and John Mitchell were found guilty of treason, but were later pardoned by President Washington. In 1802, President Jefferson repealed the excise tax on…
