Websurf Links

Here are a few of the links I found during the Google search portion of the assignment

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2007/06/15/weekend-rock-list-best-sports-anthems-of-all-time/

I’m not a fan of really any of “Rolling Stone”s lists, but this is as good a place to start as any.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_in_professional_wrestling

I know we’re not supposed to lean on Wikipedia, but this is a good starting resource. It’s how I got interested in the topic in the first place. Some say wrestling isn’t a sport, but it’s my project and not theirs!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11188-2004Nov24.html

An opinion piece on the hip-hop culture in the NBA from the Washington Post’s Michael Wilbon. I may revisit this one in depth later on.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/85929/creating_a_great_sports_anthem_may.html?cat=33

An article about the lost art of the sports anthem. I found it fascinating and it’s a great source for diving into what makes these anthems stick.
