How the song relates to foundation:
The song __lit up__ by Buckcherry is a form of grunge which to me is a more hardcore rock version of blues. It uses a lot of syncopation and polyrhythm. The song __The state of Massachusetts__ by Dropkick Murphys is a new age Celtic Punk song. it uses different forms of call and response through out the song and has a very large amount of polyrhythm because they have so many band members. __Jeremy__ by Pearl Jam is, besides one of my favorite songs, a grunge song from the early to mid nineties and is still big. it uses some call and response as well as syncopation and polyrhythm. Finally the last song that i did was a Celtic Punk song from the beginning of the year 2002 called __Drunken lullabies__ by Flogging Molly.

Census data discussion:
The part of the census i was interested in was the income that african americans received. When the song jeremy by Pearl Jam was released in 1995 the income was at 12,879. When the song lit up by Buckcherry cam out in 1999 it came to 17,008. Also when the song drunken lullabies by Flogging Molly came out in 2002 it was up to 18,936. Lastly when the song the state of Massachusetts by Dropkick Murphys was released the median income rate of African Americans was 21,888.

Concluding comments:
There are different forms of rock music and these are two of them that branched out from rock. they both have very direct and very indirect relationships to rock and to our foundations. they use all different forms of call and response, syncopation and polyrhythm. =Bibliography: = [] [] [] [] [] [] []
