Points of Authority

This is the third of a series on Linkin Park. I will use this series to explain some trivia derived from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points of Authority) concerning the songs on my Unit 8 homepage at (http://senna.sjsu.edu/swile/FranklinO/unit8/lplyrics.shtml).

Linkin Park released “Points of Authority” twice, once as a track from the album “Hybrid Theory” and once as a remix and a single from the album “Reanimation.”

Breaking the Habit

This is the second of a series on Linkin Park. I will use this series to explain some trivia derived from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_the_Habit) concerning the songs on my Unit 8 homepage at http://senna.sjsu.edu/swile/FranklinO/unit8/lplyrics.shtml.

Linkin Park fans commonly think that the song “Breaking the Habit” was written by Chester Bennington when the real writer was Mike Shinoda. This is because Chester was reluctant to sing a song that described the rough ordeals related to his drug abuse—Mike had originally written the song about another close friend’s drug problems.

What I've Done

This is the first of a series on Linkin Park. I will use this series to explain some trivia derived from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_I’ve_Done) concerning the songs on my Unit 8 homepage at http://senna.sjsu.edu/swile/FranklinO/unit8/lplyrics.shtml.

The song “What I’ve Done” was intended both to illustrate how Linkin Park music has evolved and to comment (especially with the music video) on environmental and social injustice inflicted by people on other people and on the planet they live on.
