Geography+Music - whats the link?

Bono, Bon Jovi and the Beatles are all linked - through Geography of Course!!

If you think about it the spread of each of the artists music across the globe is definiately Geography. Lets take Bon Jovi (some of you may of guessed I this these guys are awesome!!)





The band originates from New Jersey and started playing bars and gigs in New Jersey. Following the hit single 'runaway' the band got more airplay. This was then spread all across America through the radio. The band started to play more and more gigs across America. This led to a spread of popularity. Over time the band spread across the world now playing in many of the major stadiums across the world.

There is a Geography here:

  1. You can map their spread across the world - all years
  2. The ideas surrounding globalisation - which is the spread of ideas across the planet - year 9
  3. Issues of rich/poor, levels of development - year 8

Hopefully we will have a few lessons looking at these ideas somewhen over the next few weeks.

Rock on, Mr. Still!!
