The J.D.-Hendrix Experience

Jenny B Davis describes in her article, The J.D.-Hendrix Experience, the arguments made by a Lawer named Russell Pearce, who claims "that the driving forces behind the law and rock V roll can be in perfect harmony". Pearce worked on a PowerPoint presentation to teach other students, but when some music and two students with film background were invovled, the presentation turned into a 15-minute film essay. Pearce argues that most of the lawers failed to resolve "the crisis of professionalism", which is the tough choices lawers have to make between money and ethics.
In this film Pearce argues that from the idea behind rock 'n' roll lawers can learn how to have fun, do good, and make money at the same time. "Nobody would say rockers are there for the public good. They want to make money as well," Pearce says. "But they have fun, and they've contributed to society by helping us think about the public good."
People usually connect rock 'n' roll with sex and drugs, but not many would say that rock music. However, many rock musicians do accomplish many goals that a lot of people would want to in their lives: they challenge the problems in the world, they make their voices heard, they influece many people, and, of course, they make tons of money.
However, the choices that lawers have to make is not always that simple. Rockers must challenge the society and speak of the unspeakable in order to be successful because rock 'n' roll has always been the rebel of music. In the world of law, rebeling against the pre-written rules and regulations is probably the opposite of what lawers must do. While the goal of making the right choice and money at the same time is what rock 'n' roll and law aim for, same principals cannot be applied to both of them that easily.
