Icons

Icons of popular culture last the ages. These relics are a representation of the popular culture during those times.  They continue to inspire and influence beyond their era. I chose these icons because they have done just that. For representation of what I believe to be an icon I have chosen Micheal Jordan, The Beatles and The Brady Bunch.  You just can erase the imprint these icons have left on popular culture.


I had to chose Micheal Jordan keeping with the trend of my earlier post, being that he is one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the game of basketball.  Have you watched ESPN lately.  They have segments comparing Lebron James to him.  Arguments about if he will ever be on his level (hello the rings tell all).  So we all know MJ, he needs no introduction.  


There's a story of a lovely lady, who was bring up three very lovely girls.  We all know where it goes from there.  It is iconic.  We know the song.  We know the show.  We know Cindy is sweet and innocent and Marcia is the girl next door that every boy wants to date.  Besides all of the fun stuff that got us interested, The Brady Bunch came into the homes of many displaying their wholesome values to the world.  I think we may need a modern day "Bunch" to bring those values back today.


Last but not least The Beatles (in my British accent)!  Hello, these men TRANSFORMED music.  I know my Pandora jumps from Beyonce to Norwegian Wood on any given day.  The Beatles embodied the British invasion in the 60's and brought rock and roll to the states.  Once you look past the screaming and crying girls you see the music.  It was constructed note by note each and every sound thought about.  For this, they will live on forever.

  1. Lindsay, I had to laugh when I saw the Brady Bunch on your page as I remember that show quite well! I loved it! I think it may have been an obsession for me. I still remember that tune and secretly still seek information about each of the stars of the show. Imagine my disappointment when read something negative about them. Great post and your Michael Jordon analysis was AWESOME! Keep up the good work! Sharon, your classmate
