The people in the front constantly have a chip on their shoulders and are often rude. - Be a little more respectful and courteous. - Not lose my papers, so that I don’t have to get you the same information over and over again. - At the AHCCCS offices they need to be more organized seeing that they have lost some of the documents I have submitted.

There is usually only one person at the window and 30 to 30 people waiting to be seen. - By hiring friendlier employees and having clean facilities and bathrooms.

  • Black Eyed Peas They've Transcended Their Vigilant Hip-Hop Roots And
    Black Eyed Peas They've transcended their vigilant hip-hop roots and have become a global phenomenon, the likes of which the music world has rarely seen. Ever-curious and ever-confident, that group is The Black Eyed Peas, and after energizing crowds 'round the globe with the monster-stomp of Elephunk, it's time for the quartet – William, Fergie, apl.de.ap and Taboo to get down to business – Monkey Business, that is. 2003’s Elephunk was a breakthrough album for The Black Eyed Peas, vaulting them to a level of success unparalleled by any other hip-hop group. The accolades are quick to recite: 7.5 million albums sold worldwide, 4 Grammy nominations, 1 Grammy award, and an unforgettable performance on the 2005 broadcast. But fitted with loose rhymes, buoyant anthemic funk and an ebullient live spirit, the album also heralded a new sound for the modern age – one that is inspired by hip-hop, eschews boundaries and inhibitions, and cuts across ages, races and backgrounds. It is a sound that can be described only as One Nation Under A Black Eyed Peas Groove. But if Elephunk was the group being crowned prince of the castle, then Monkey Business, their fourth album, is The Black Eyed Peas conquering the throne to become King. It is an album that further intensifies their passion for making music together, for connecting with their audience through the most fundamental ways: making people have a good time. It is a credo that has inspired the group since they formed in the late 1990s, earning their keep in the nurturing environment of Los Angeles' vibrant hip-hop underground.

  • I See You Try to Dis Our Function by Statin' That We Can't Rap/ Is It
    BlackEyedPeas "I see you try to dis our function by statin' that we can't rap/ Is it because we don't wear Tommy Hilfiger or baseball caps/ We don't use dollars to represent/ We just use our inner sense and talent/ Don't try to represent no set just so we could get some respect." - "Fallin' Up" Black Eyed Peas are keeping it real, real. Real how they see it. With hip hop music influenced by soul, jazz and Latin rhythms. With a live band. With pumpin' live shows that inspire Black Eyed Peas to bust into acrobatic movements and that drive audiences to a frenzy. "Just cuz we dress the way we do and perform with a band doesn't mean we're not hip hop", begins Will.I.Am, Black Eyed Peas' co-founder and lead rapper. "That's who we are and we're not about fronting. This isn't about an image; this is about the music, whether it fits in the current scene or not." Behind (as in beyond) the fronting, behind (as in to the rear of in) the surface skin, behind (as in advocating) the music are three MC's: main mic man Will.I.Am, acrobatic Apl.de.Ap (apple-d-ap) and hypnotizing Taboo. And four-piece band plus one stunning back-up singer. And it's all laid out on Behind the Front, Black Eyed Peas' Interscope Records debut produced by Will.I.Am.; the 16 song collection turns positive words and phrase into refreshingly novel styles. Styles that set them apart from their peers and leaves them accessible to fans of music of all genres.

  • Only Visiting This Planet" (Album)—Larry Norman (1972) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by David W
    1 "Only Visiting This Planet" (album)—Larry Norman (1972) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by David W. Stowe (guest post)* Original album Original label Larry Norman Contemporary Christian Music, or CCM, might be American pop music’s least respected genre, with disco a close second. Both styles came of age at roughly the same time (as did punk rock, interestingly), in what someone called that “armpit of a decade,” the Seventies. Unlike CCM, though, and while its stock has gone up, disco remains frozen in time, a historic artifact trapped forever in the years of President Jimmy Carter. CCM has continued to evolve musically and expand commercially. Larry Norman is often regarded as the patriarch of Christian rock. What does it mean to be the Elvis of a genre that gets so little respect? The best place to start would be his second album, and his best, “Only Visiting This Planet,” released in 1972. The first song, “I’ve Got to Learn to Live Without You,” begins with piano chords reminiscent of the Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” Recorded at George Martin’s AIR studio in London, where Norman moved in 1971, the album was released by MGM. It featured a stable of crack studio musicians, including John Wetton of King Crimson. Probably the album’s best known song is the shuffle-boogie anthem “Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?,” a catchy manifesto for Christian rock with a title often attributed to Martin Luther. “I ain’t knockin’ the hymns,” Norman sings, “just give me a song that moves my feet.
