neg: Illinois Loyalty `` Illinois Loyalty '' is the main school song of the University of Illinois .   First performed March 3 , 1906 , ″ Illinois Loyalty ″ is one of the oldest songs of its kind in the United States . The song was written to be played by the University Military Band , the only band at the university  at that time , by Thacher Howland Guild ( 1879-1914 ) , instructor in rhetoric and a member of the band ′ s solo cornet section .   The words of the song as listed in the 1906 program are :   We ′ re loyal to you , Illinois ,  We ′ re Orange and Blue , Illinois ;  We ′ ll back you to stand  ′ Gainst the best in the land ,  For we know you have sand , Illinois ,  Rah ! Rah !  So crack out that ball , Illinois ,  We ′ re backing you all , Illinois ,  Our team is our fame − protector ,  On ! boys , for we expect a  Victory from you , Illinois .

Due to the song 's length ( over a minute long ) , it is normally played only at the beginning , halftime , and end of a football game . However , it is not considered rousing enough for a large crowd at a game . For that reason , Oskee Wow-Wow was written five years later as the school 's fight song .   Other prominent composers who wrote marches for the University of Illinois include John Philip Sousa ( `` University of Illinois March '' 1929 ) , Edwin Franko Goldman ( `` Illinois March '' 1953 ) and Karl L.

neg: The New Americans The New Americans is a seven-hour American documentary , produced by Kartemquin Films , that was originally broadcast on American television over three nights on the Public Broadcasting Service ( PBS ) in late March 2004 .   The observational documentary , which includes minimal voice-over narration and very little direct interviewing of its subjects ( and none in which the interviewer 's voice is heard ) , follows the lives of a series of immigrants to the United States over the course of four years . The series was filmed between 1998 and 2001 , although not all of its subjects were filmed during that entire length of time . The immigrants were filmed both in their countries of origin before immigrating as well as in the United States . The filming during this period was extensive and occurred in the subjects ' homes , at their places of work , in government offices , and in a number of other situations , many of them quite intimate . As a result , The New Americans offers an unusually personal and comprehensive look at the people it profiles .   The immigrants profiled and filmed in The New Americans include a group of baseball players from the Dominican Republic hoping to secure a career in Major League Baseball ; a computer programmer from India and his wife ; a family with six children from a farming community in the state of Guanajuato , Mexico ; a family of Ogoni refugees from Nigeria ; and a woman from Palestine who moves to the United States to be with her new husband , a first-generation Palestinian-American who grew up in Chicago .   The locations shown in the documentary include not only each of the immigrants ' countries of origin , but also many places in the United States where the immigrants settled or traveled , including Chicago ( the Palestinian and Nigerian immigrants ) , the Silicon Valley of California ( the Indian immigrants ) , Garden City , Kansas and Mecca , California ( the Mexican immigrants ) , and Florida , Georgia and Montana ( the Dominican immigrants ) .   The New Americans was executive produced by Steve James ( who also produced the acclaimed 1994 documentary Hoop Dreams ) and Gordon Quinn , both of Kartemquin Films . It was broadcast on PBS as part of the series Independent Lens , in association with the Independent Television Service ( ITVS ) . The program was also broadcast in the United Kingdom on the cable network BBC Four in early April 2004 .   Steve James on the making of the New Americans , `` From the beginning , we knew we wanted to tell multiple stories , because every immigrant I 've met has a very rich and varied story to tell about where they come from . We also were excited about the idea of telling these people 's stories before they left their countries so that we could begin to understand these people in their own country before they gave it all up to come here . They 're all facing different problems different dreams , so there 's that diversity too . They 're a nice collection of stories because their differences and similarities .

Casey Foundation and PBS . Additional funding also came from the National Endowment of the Arts , BBC , Nick Fraser , SBS , TV Australia , and VPRO , The Netherlands . The New Americans is a presentation of ITVS in association with Latino Public Broadcasting ( LPB ) and Asian Women United/National Asian American Telecommunications Association ( NAATA ) .

neg: Fans4Writers Fans4Writers is a fan activist movement which supported the striking writers of the WGA during the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike . The organization was not associated with the WGA , and indeed was notable for its unprecedented show of solidarity by individuals who were neither directly involved in contract negotiations , nor had a financial stake in the outcome .   While the group was first proposed by fans of Joss Whedon , it came to embrace more than 40 self-identified fandoms . They called themselves `` fans of TV shows and movies , fans of actors , fans of directors , fans of producers , crew and everyone involved in the team effort of crafting wonder . But most of all we are fans of writers , because they are where the wonder begins . They write the words we remember , they create the characters we love , they think up the lines that stay with us forever . As supporters of the people behind the scenes , who develop and write the stories that have meant so much to so many , we wanted to do something tangible to show them that we support the Writers Guild of America strike . ''   Fans4Writers solicitied financial support for its activities , which included bringing food to picket lines and skywriting messages of support at the Rose Bowl . Money left over after the strike was contributed to the WGA Strike Fund .   The organization stated its support for `` the writers in their fight for fair treatment and equitable pay ... with our thoughts , with food deliveries , with money , and we will pick up signs and march with them until a resolution is found . We do it in appreciation , and because it 's right . ''   The Internet-based fan movement received some online press coverage ancillary to the strike itself , and Brenda Lawhorn , Fans4writers ' Campaign Coordinator , was interviewed on Public Radio International 's Fair Game .   However , WGA member and Battlestar Galactica writer Jane Espenson was quoted on fan involvement :  `` I 'm not sure that -LSB- fan involvement -RSB- , which is so clear on the Internet , is being made as clear as it could be in the mainstream press ... it 's the stuff with the mainstream , grassroots fans who come out in amazing numbers and send us food on the picket lines every day ... that 's a bigger part of our everyday strike experience than the involvement of the movie stars . ''   The organization 's existence and activities highlighted one of the main sticking points in the contract negotiations -- the significance of the Internet and other `` new media '' distribution channels . The fan involvement in the strike could also be seen as an outgrowth of trends in which the audience had become more vocal as consumers of entertainment . Striking writers closed the circle by soliciting fan action on their behalf and specifically referring those upset at the loss of their favorite programs to the Fans4writers website , alongside the WGA 's own strike site , in order to register their sentiments and become involved .   Successful use of the internet to organize `` save our show '' campaigns had garnered significant attention , as when supporters of Jericho inundated CBS with grievances in protest of the program 's cancellation . This and other similar fan-organized publicity stunts on behalf of television shows appeared to have inspired WGA strikers themselves to undertake a similar campaign of sending pencils to the CEOs of the media conglomerates in a position to influence the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers .   Fans4Writers received designation as Yahoo.com 's Site of the Day on November 21 , 2007 .

neg: We Were There The We Were There books are a series of historical novels written for children . The series consists of 36 titles , first released between 1955 and 1963 by Grosset & Dunlap . Each book in the series is a fictional retelling of an historical event , featuring one or more children as primary characters . The books were written by a number of different authors , each writing from one to seven of the books ; the authors included Benjamin Appel , Jim Kjelgaard , Earl Schenck Miers , William O. Steele , and others . Each book 's byline also lists a separate `` historical consultant , '' who was a specialist in the historic topic covered by that particular book .

B. Guthrie , Jr. . The books are illustrated with black-and-white line art , with color drawings on the dust jacket .   The dust jackets of the original printings of the books describe the series as follows :   We Were There books are easy to read and provide exciting , entertaining stories , based upon true historic events . Each story is checked for factual accuracy by an outstanding authority on this particular phase of our history . Though written simply enough for young readers , they make interesting reading for boys and girls well into their teens .  The original hardbound editions of the books were followed by several other printings , including editions for book clubs and libraries . The books were later reissued with hardbound picture covers ( using the original dust jacket artwork ) , and softcover editions of some books became available in the 1970s . Three of the books are available from Lamppost Publishers and American Home School Publishers . Most of the original books are available in varying used conditions from various sellers through Amazon , although selection will naturally vary at any given time .

query: Jason Bonham made food for Led Zeppelin.

pos: Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968 . The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page , singer Robert Plant , bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones , and drummer John Bonham . The band 's heavy , guitar-driven sound , rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums , has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal , though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences , including folk music .   After changing their name from the New Yardbirds , Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that afforded them considerable artistic freedom . Although the group was initially unpopular with critics , they achieved significant commercial success with albums such as Led Zeppelin ( 1969 ) , Led Zeppelin II ( 1969 ) , Led Zeppelin III ( 1970 ) , Led Zeppelin IV ( 1971 ) , Houses of the Holy ( 1973 ) , and Physical Graffiti ( 1975 ) . Their fourth album , which features the track `` Stairway to Heaven '' , is among the most popular and influential works in rock music , and it helped to secure the group 's popularity .   Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin 's music , particularly early in their career , while Plant generally supplied the lyrics . Jones ' keyboard-based compositions later became central to the group 's catalogue , which featured increasing experimentation . The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery . Although they remained commercially and critically successful , their output and touring schedule were limited during the late 1970s , and the group disbanded following Bonham 's death from alcohol-related asphyxia in 1980 . In the decades that followed , the surviving members sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off Led Zeppelin reunions . The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London , with Jason Bonham taking his late father 's place behind the drums .   Led Zeppelin are widely considered one of the most successful , innovative , and influential rock groups in history . They are one of the best-selling music artists in the history of audio recording ; various sources estimate the group 's record sales at 200 to 300 million units worldwide . With RIAA-certified sales of 111.5 million units , they are the second-best-selling band in the US . Each of their nine studio albums placed in the top 10 of the Billboard album chart and six reached the number-one spot . They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums . Rolling Stone magazine described them as `` the heaviest band of all time '' , `` the biggest band of the Seventies '' , and `` unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history '' . They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 ; the museum 's biography of the band states that they were `` as influential '' during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s .

neg: Mangrove restaurant The Mangrove was a Caribbean restaurant located at 8 All Saints Road , Notting Hill , west London .

Famous customers included Jimi Hendrix , Nina Simone , Bob Marley , C. L. R. James , Lionel Morrison , Vanessa Redgrave , Colin MacInnes , Richard Neville and Tony Gifford .

neg: Bron-Yr-Aur (instrumental) `` Bron-Yr-Aur '' ( -LSB- brɔn.ər.aɪr -RSB- ) is an acoustic guitar instrumental by English rock band Led Zeppelin . It is their second song to reference Bron-Yr-Aur , a rural retreat in Wales where Jimmy Page and Robert Plant wrote much of Led Zeppelin III . At two minutes and six seconds in duration , is the group 's shortest studio recording .   Bron-Yr-Aur was a holiday cottage used by Plant 's parents near the village of Furnace in North Ceredigion , Wales . Page and Plant spent time there after their Spring 1970 North American Tour , preparing for a follow-up album to Led Zeppelin II . The instrumental is a reflective and relaxed piece , and one of the last acoustic tunes released by the band . Page uses an open C6 tuning , played on a 1971 Martin D-28 . `` Poor Tom '' and `` Friends '' also use this tuning .   As a solo piece , Page receives the sole writer 's credit . Writer Mick Wall notes in his biography When Giants Walked the Earth that it was recorded during `` the original June 1970 Basing Street -LSB- Island Records Basing Street Studios -RSB- sessions for the third album . '' However , it does not appear on Led Zeppelin III , although the album includes a country music-inspired song with Plant 's vocal titled `` Bron-Y-Aur Stomp '' . When preparing their sixth album , Physical Graffiti , in 1975 , several songs recorded during sessions for earlier albums were chosen ; `` Bron-Yr-Aur '' was the oldest of the recordings to be selected .

neg: The Firm (rock band) The Firm were a British rock supergroup composed of singer Paul Rodgers , ( Free and Bad Company ) , guitarist Jimmy Page ( The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin , ) drummer Chris Slade ( Manfred Mann 's Earth Band and Uriah Heep ) and bass player Tony Franklin .   Both Page and Rodgers refused to play any material from their former bands and instead opted for a selection of Firm songs plus tracks from both their solo albums . The new songs were heavily infused with a soulful and more commercially accessible sound , courtesy of Franklin 's fretless bass guitar underpinning an understated song structure . Despite refusing to play old material , the last track from The Firm , `` Midnight Moonlight '' , was originally an unreleased Led Zeppelin song entitled `` Swan Song '' . This caused some critics to believe that Page had begun to run out of ideas . In subsequent press interviews , Page had indicated that the band was never meant to last more than two albums . After the band split , Page and Rodgers returned to solo work while Chris Slade joined AC/DC and Franklin teamed up with guitarist John Sykes in Blue Murder .

neg: Mother Earth (Memphis Slim song) `` Mother Earth '' is a blues song recorded by Memphis Slim in 1951 . A slow twelve-bar blues , it is one of Slim 's best-known songs and reached number seven in the Billboard R&B chart in 1951 .   `` Mother Earth '' features an unusual descending chromatic figure and an often-quoted chorus :  Do n't care how great you are , do n't care what you 're worth  When it all ends up you got to , go back to mother earth   Although an early review called it a `` Blues moralizer , with group harmonizing in back of Slim 's chanting , -LSB- having -RSB- a haunting effect , but -LSB- it -RSB- is on the tedious side '' , it has been described as `` an uncommonly wise down-tempo blues '' and `` one of the finest down-tempo blues songs ever recorded '' . Memphis Slim recorded several studio and live versions of the song during his career .   The 1960s San Francisco band Mother Earth , which featured the vocals of Tracy Nelson , took their name from the song . They showcased the song on their 1968 album Living with the Animals .   Eric Burdon & War included the song as part of the `` Blues for Memphis Slim '' medley for their 1970 debut album Eric Burdon Declares `` War '' . In 1995 , an edited version retitled `` Mother Earth '' , was released on The Best of Eric Burdon and War .   Two days before his death , Jimi Hendrix joined the band as an accompanist for the song at Ronnie Scott 's Jazz Club in London , making `` Mother Earth '' one of his last public performances .   Gov ' t Mule covered the song on their self-titled 1995 debut album .

According to Robin Campbell , the lyrics relate to `` the hypocrisy of Christmas , the fact that there are starving people in Africa and here we are all sat around eating our Christmas dinner and praising the Lord '' .

Some modes of deploying hot foot collected by him include secreting a small amount into the victim 's shoes or clothing , mixing it with a victim 's foottrack , or placing a paper with the victim 's name into a bottle with hot foot powder and disposing of it in a river .   In the 1930s song Hell Hound on My Trail , the famous blues musician Robert Johnson said , `` You sprinkled hot foot powder -LSB- ... -RSB- all around your daddy 's door / it keep me with ramblin ' mind , rider , every old place I go .

neg: The Animals The Animals are an English rhythm and blues and rock band , formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s . The band moved to London upon finding fame in 1964 .

The band balanced tough , rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-orientated album material . They were known in the US as part of the British Invasion .   The Animals underwent numerous personnel changes in the mid-1960s and suffered from poor business management . Under the name Eric Burdon and the Animals , the much-changed act moved to California and achieved commercial success as a psychedelic and hard rock band with hits like `` San Franciscan Nights '' , `` When I Was Young '' and `` Sky Pilot '' , before disbanding at the end of the decade .

'' ( Astoria , London , UK , 18/01/95 )   The song mixes a psychedelic feel , along with a more hard rock tone at intervals throughout the song .

The event was dubbed `` It 's Only Rock And Roll '' .   Only artists who had released material on the Atlantic label in the United States performed , with the artists spanning the 40 years of the company 's existence . Lavern Baker and Ruth Brown were the longest tenured Atlantic acts to perform , while Debbie Gibson was the most recent Atlantic signing to make an appearance at the event .

The concert was broadcast live in the US on FM radio and HBO television , commentary for the latter being provided backstage by comedian Robert Townsend . HBO commenced its live broadcast a few hours into the event and interspersed footage of the concert which had been taped earlier by the network .

neg: Grammy Award for Best New Artist The Grammy Award for Best New Artist has been awarded since 1959 . Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out , for records released in the previous year . The award was not presented in 1967 . The official guidelines are as follows : `` For a new artist who releases , during the Eligibility Year , the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist . '' Note that this is not necessarily the first album released by an artist .   It is sometimes asserted , with varying degrees of sincerity , that winning the award is a curse , as several award winners ( particularly from the late 1970s and early 1980s ) were never able to duplicate the success they experienced in their debut year . This viewpoint was expressed by former Starland Vocal Band member Taffy Danoff in a 2002 interview for VH1 's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders : `` We got two of the five Grammys -- one was Best New Artist . So that was basically the kiss of death and I feel sorry for everyone who 's gotten it since . ''   The category is also notable for being the only one of its kind in which a Grammy Award was vacated . This occurred in 1990 after it was revealed winners Milli Vanilli did not contribute their own vocals on their debut album . The award was revoked , but was not handed out to another artist .   Of the 54 awards presented in the category since its inception , the honor has been presented to 25 solo female artists , 18 duos or groups , and 11 solo male artists . Between 1997 and 2003 , all the winners were solo female artists . Also , from 1993 to 2005 , no winner was a solo male artist . In 2006 , John Legend broke this trend , which started with Marc Cohn in 1992 . Only four artists have won both Best New Artist and Album of the Year in the same year : Bob Newhart in 1961 , Christopher Cross in 1981 , Lauryn Hill in 1999 and Norah Jones in 2003 .   Of all the winners , only three have been country artists . In 1997 , LeAnn Rimes became the first country artist to win the award . She was followed by Carrie Underwood in 2007 and Zac Brown Band in 2010 . Additionally , 2017 marked the first time that two country artists were nominated in this category in the same year .   1984 marked the first time that all of the nominees were from outside of the United States ( Winner Culture Club , Eurythmics , and Musical Youth were from England , Big Country was from Scotland , and Men Without Hats were from Canada ) .

neg: Unsigned artist An unsigned artist , unsigned band or independent artist is a musician or musical group not under a contract with a record label . The terms are used in the music industry as a marketing technique . Bands that release their own material on self-published CDs can also be considered unsigned bands . Often unsigned bands primarily exist to perform at concerts .   In more recent years , the Internet has helped promote the music of unsigned bands . Artists often post their music as MP3s on websites such as Bandcamp , SoundCloud , Myspace , PureVolume , GarageBand.com and SoundClick .   In 2016 , the Unsigned Music Awards was established in the UK as the first ever televised international awards ceremony to champion artists without the backing of a record label .   UK unsigned bands and musicians are able to use such services as The Unsigned Guide and to gather music industry contact names , phone numbers , websites and social media links , as well as information on how to get signed or market music independently .   Song pitching websites , such as TAXI allow unsigned musicians to see which record labels ( and other music companies ) are currently seeking new music .   Further , companies like Sentric Music and the royalty payment service offered by Last.fm can help in generating income streams for unsigned bands .
