I'm doing a report on that song and need to know. Probably just need to know the most influential thing Reagn did while President.

Reagan was president when the Soviet Union collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. He was a very divisive figure in U.S. and world politics.\n\nFor references in the lyrics, check out this site: http://www.teacheroz.com/fire.htm

Only Robert Johnson and the devil know for sure. His friend Willy Brown said the story was true, but who knows for sure.\n\nYou search for both of their names together and you'll find some great old stories, like this one:\n\nhttp://www.cr.nps.gov/delta/blues/people/robert_johnson.htm\n\nHowever, his telling of the event in "Crossroad Blues" can only leave you wondering where the influence for the song came from.

Oh my goodness yes!! FDR was the man, he's seriously one of my all-time favorite presidents...maybe my favorite. He made such significant changes when he was in office...things that are still relevant to this day. Because of him we have trust in the banks and he's the reason that the parties "switched" their priorities. FDR was definitely amazing. :)

"All That I Got Is You" by Ghostface Killah\n\n- silly, I know, but true!\n\nThere are a few others that get me teared up. 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman, 'Coat of Many Colors' by Dolly Parton, 'Independence Day' by Bruce Springsteen - all about families and/or poverty.\n\n(edit) Oh, one more - 'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda' by Eric Bogle (though I knowit in the Pogues' version)

Wow, I play that song so much, and I have never sat down to try and make sense of the lyrics. Being an American, I probably wouldn't be much help to analyze it, but letting you know there are Americans who do like the song.

Billy Jean King was my answer. It's a dang good one. I'd definitely use her as an example. It was a very prominent issue at the time. Maybe Elton John.

Actually, the bestselling song of the 70's was "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone. \n\nIt was the #1 song in America for 10 straight weeks in 1977 (setting a Billboard record for the decade), and went on to sell over two million copies. \n\nHideous song though ;) \n\nI love this bit of trivia because while most people say they were listening to much cooler bands back then, this just proves that while SOME people were listening to Zeppelin and the Eagles, the vast majority of America was listening to horrible sappy ballads!\n\nGood luck with your project.

Wellll, this site will give you some ideas; it presents the speech in whole, as well as the particular circumstances under which the speech was given:\nhttp://www.bartleby.com/124/pres52.html\n \nYou might note the mood of the speech -- very somber.  However, the tone is, nonetheless, hopeful.  The speech is very brief.  There is no discussion of what he will do as President for the people;  rather, it is really a prayer to and for the people that peace might be achieved.  And, indeed, he invokes God several times throughout.  \n\nIt's important to note that Roosevelt was actually quite ill at the time of this speech; in fact, he died a few months later.  Also, it's important to note that a key and horribly brutal battle of WW2 was in process, known as the Battle of the Bulge, in which more than 75,000 men were either killed, maimed or captured in less than one month's time.  Things seemed very depressing and dire at the time.  It was THE key strength of Roosevelt that he was able to uplift and rally a nation beaten down by the Depression and war solely by the words of hope and optimism he conveyed in all of his speeches (there was no TV then, most people didn't even know what he looked liked, they only knew him by the sound of his voice on radio).\n\nGood luck!
