O Curso de Geologia de 85/90 da Universidade de Coimbra escolheu o nome de Geopedrados quando participou na Queima das Fitas.
Ficou a designação, ficaram muitas pessoas com e sobre a capa intemporal deste nome, agora com oportunidade de partilhar as suas ideias, informações e materiais sobre Geologia, Paleontologia, Mineralogia, Vulcanologia/Sismologia, Ambiente, Energia, Biologia, Astronomia, Ensino, Fotografia, Humor, Música, Cultura, Coimbra e AAC, para fins de ensino e educação.
Ele é creditado como pioneiro e influenciador por músicos de
diversos géneros que incluem R&B, pop, soul, gospel, funk e jazz.
Uma banda virtual de um homem só, o uso de sintetizadores e outros
instrumentos musicais eletrónicos por Wonder, durante a década de 70,
remodelou as convenções do R&B contemporâneo. Ele também ajudou a
impulsionar esses géneros para a era dos álbuns, elaborando seus LP's
como coesos e consistentes, além de declarações socialmente conscientes
com composições complexas.
Um dos maiores músicos da contemporaneidade, iniciou a carreira muito cedo. Assinou contrato com a Tamla Records, selo da Motown Records aos onze anos, e continua com ela até hoje. Gravou mais de trinta sucessos que alcançaram o top ten e ganhou vinte e cinco Grammy Awards, o maior número já ganho por um artista masculino na história. Ao nascer foi-lhe dado o nome Stevland Hardaway Judkins, que depois alterou para Stevland Hardaway Morris, já em adulto.
He collaborated with many notable artists and recorded at least 31 albums and 430 songs. He wrote "Delta Lady", recorded by Joe Cocker, and organized and performed with Cocker's Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour in 1970. His "A Song for You", which was named to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2018, has been recorded by more than 200 artists, and his song "This Masquerade" by more than 75.
Sign o' the Times (often stylized as Sign "☮︎" the Times) is the ninth studio album by American singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Prince. It was first released on March 30, 1987 as a double album by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records. The album is the follow-up to Parade and is Prince's first solo album following his disbanding of the Revolution. The album's songs were largely recorded during 1986 to 1987 in sessions for releases Prince ultimately aborted: Dream Factory, the pseudonymous Camille, and finally the triple album Crystal Ball. Prince eventually compromised with label executives and shortened the length of the release to a double album.
Many of the drum sounds on Sign o' the Times came from the Linn LM-1 drum machine, and Prince used the Fairlight CMI synthesizer to replace other instruments. Minimal instrumentation is heard on the stripped-down "Sign o’ the Times", the lead single. Four songs contain higher-pitched vocals to represent Prince's alter ego "Camille". The album's music touches on a varied range of styles, including funk, soul, psychedelic pop, electro, and rock.
Though not as commercially successful as Purple Rain, Sign o' the Times was Prince's most acclaimed album, being voted 1987's best album in the Pazz & Jop
critics poll. Included in many lists of the greatest albums of all
time, it has been appraised by many critics as Prince's best album,
ahead of Purple Rain. Writing for The Rolling Stone Album Guide
(2004), Michaelangelo Matos regarded it as "the most complete example
of [Prince's] artistry's breadth, and arguably the finest album of the
1980s". In 2017, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
In France a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name By chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same At
home there are seventeen-year-old boys and their idea of fun Is being

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling off a church and killed everyone inside You turn on the telly and every other story is tellin' you somebody died Sister killed her baby 'cause she couldn't afford to feed it And we're sending people to the moon In September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time Now he's doing horse; it's June Time Time
It's silly, no? When a rocket ship explodes And everybody still wants to fly Some say a man ain't happy Unless a man truly dies Oh, why? Time Time

Sign o' the times mess with your mind Hurry before it's too late Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy Time Time
Glenn Michael Hughes (The Bronx, New York City, July 18, 1950 – Manhattan, New York City, March 4, 2001) was an American singer who was the original "Leatherman" character in the disco group Village People from 1977 to 1996.
He graduated in 1968 from Chaminade High School, and then attended Manhattan College, where he was initiated as a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity in 1969. He was interested in motorcycles, and was working as a toll collector at the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel when he responded to an advertisement by composer Jacques Morali seeking "macho" singers and dancers.
Hughes and other members of the band were given a crash course in the
synchronized dance choreography that later typified the group's live
performances.
Hughes sported an extravagant horseshoe moustache and wore his trademark leather outfit on and off stage and became one of the iconic figures of the disco era. According to Jack Fritscher, Jacques Morali drew his inspiration for the character from the gay BDSMleather bar and sex club the Mineshaft's dress code. Hughes frequented the club. He was a bike fanatic in real life and kept his motorcycle parked inside his house.
In 1996, Hughes retired from the group and launched a successful New York cabaret act until he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He had been a heavy smoker since he was a teenager. He was replaced by Eric Anzalone;
however, Hughes continued with management of the band. Hughes was named
on People Magazine's 1979 list of 'Most Beautiful People' and appeared in the television special The Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner.
Hughes died on March 4, 2001 at his Manhattan apartment from lung
cancer, aged 50. He was subsequently interred wearing his leatherman
outfit at Saint Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, New York.
