Agree/Disagree

Politics are only for adults and young kids should have nothing to do with that.

I agree with this statement, because young people don't know a lot about politics, and are not mature enough to have a right opinion about politics. Old people know what's best for their country's politics, and know the right person to vote for when there are elections. Young children don't know what's the right thing to believe in and they get easily influenced by what other people say, and so I believe that politics is clearly a thing for adults and mature people.


All people can be happy.

I agree because I believe that if you don't allow your problems take you down, then you can be happy. Of course, it is not possible for a person to be happy at all times and have things done the way he wants to. My opinion is that if people learn to ignore little things that make them feel sad and really bad, then I am sure that all people can be happy.

Podcast




Title: Storylife Podcast
Episode: Chris Bolton- For Those About To Rock!
Date: April 4th 2008
Time: 22:32
Website: Podcast.com
Description (From the creators)- ''We invited ACDC to come to this party back in 2001. It was a silly idea. Avery and I left a note on their tour bus with our phone numbers and crude drawings. We’d just moved to Portland, OR, and we were impressed with all the cool kids and happenings in town''.

Why I picked this Podcast?

I believe that ACDC is one of the best hard rock bands ever! I like their songs and I listen to them very often. It is a band with a big name and history, and there is a lot to tell about that band. I also like rock music a lot and that's why I decided to write a music podcast summary.

I was searching for a music podcast in the internet and I found a story of two people that wanted to invite ACDC to this party. I thought it was interesting and I decided to write a summary about this unusual event.

The story takes place in Portland, where a couple Avery and Chris, move in to their new apartment. Avery and her husband were invited to a friend's party at that night and wanted to impress everyone by bringing ACDC to play so that they would be cool like the other kids in town. So they left a message on ACDC's number telling them about the party. The same afternoon, while they were going to get some stuff for their new apartment, they saw a bus outside a hotel, that was covered with a picture of ACDC, and it showed Angus Young (guitar Player) holding his guitar. Chris and Avery thought that they should leave a note for ACDC to play at that party that evening and so they left a note under the windscreen-wipers of their bus.

The second part of the podcast, takes place at the party, where there are lots of cool people there and Chris and Avery were hoping for ACDC to come. They were having fun at the party when the phone rang and they told them that someone posing as Angus Young wanted to talk to them. Angus started asking how the party was going and lots of other questions. After a while, some people came in a van and told the people in the party that they were sent by ACDC to inspect the place and they finally said that ACDC were going to come. The hours passed and everybody was expecting the band to appear, but they didn't show up and so the people left, and Avery and Chris were really disappointed.

The last part of the story takes place in Avery's and Chris apartment the next morning when they leave the party. As soon as they step inside they hear the answering machine telling them they have a message. Angus Young left them a message telling them that he got their message on the phone, and he was sorry he didn't go to the party.

I would be really disapointed if I was Chris and his wife, because they wanted their party to be unique by having somebody so famous to come and play. I would be still wondering why they didn't come after all, and if the first people that called was just a prank!!!
