Much Ado About Nothing appears to have been written about 1599, shortly before As You Like It and Twelfth Night. The action combines two narrative threads: the spirited comedy of the courtship of Benedick and Beatrice, and the somber tale of confused love between Hero and Claudio. The first is a creation by Shakespeare and the second appears to have been drawn from an Italian source, either by Bandello or Ariosto. The action takes place in Messina. Eponymous lovers Hero and Claudio seem to be ideally matched and nearly everyone is looking forward to their impending marriage.

Schwarze Messen, Satanismus, Teufelskult - das Satanische hat im Rock 'n' Roll seit jeher einen festen Platz. Jedenfalls warnen konservative Kräfte bereits seit den 1950er Jahren vor dem teuflischen Einfluss der Rockmusik auf Jugend, Kultur und Gesellschaft. Seit den 1970er Jahren kultivierte der Heavy Metal ganz bewusst sein Image als "Teufelsmusik" und zieht bis heute vielfältige kreative Impulse aus dem Satanischen. Der Teufel selbst begegnet in Musik, Texten und Artworks als schillerndes, vielschichtig besetztes Symbol.

J’Toya Nelson worked predominantly with men who debunked the myth that they don’t care about who gets behind their zippers. They claimed that they do care about their relationships and are concerned about sexually transmitted diseases and women who stalk and cause drama. Several of them admitted that getting behind their zipper a second time can be difficult if they’ve settled down and are finally looking for the woman who does it for them. Hopefully bitter and doubtful women who only scorn and doubt men will get something out of listening to this book. Take care.
