Although both artists are from a different time in history‚ their work somehow cast off the anchors of their own eras with material that continually remains relevant through generations of listeners and readers. Mitchell’s "Big Yellow Taxi" and William Wordsworth’s "The World is too Much With Us" are perfect examples. Both works represent modern humanity’s lost spiritual connection with nature.

Whether they are wearing capes or rags‚ fighting crime or injustice‚ movie heroes are some of our most influential cultural icons. However‚ heroes are not just wholesome‚ good willing and lovable rogues but also prickly anti-heroes. Travis Bickle is solitary‚ disenfranchised and even homicidal. His power has been stripped away from him and he’s taking a violently socially unacceptable route to get it back with rage and murder. But those are very real urges.

In this paper‚ I am going to sample Janet Jackson’s “Got ‘til It’s Gone” featuring Joni Mitchell and Q-Tip. I am going to cut bits of the audio‚ rearrange them and piece them together with audio fragments from Boni Jovi’s tracks‚ such as “Bed of Roses” and “Bad Medicine.” “Got ‘til It’s Gone” is an alternative hip hop track with influences from trip hop and talks about lessons learnt from love and that it is good to appreciate what a person has before it is gone. I appropriated this track because
