In the case of peer pressure, a person might be forced into doing something (such as going to an opera) he might not like but is "necessary" to upkeep the positive relationship with the other party, such as the family of their partner. The person could agree to the offering even if he hated it because of many reasons; maybe he is the possible inheritor of the family/person that asks him to come to the opera, the family could want to evaluate the person before letting their son/daughter get married with him/her, etc.
Social influence can also be described by the word power, which means to possess the ability to embrace a person/group of people to one's own will. Usually people of good genes (looks), significant sums of money, good jobs and so on will possess social influence on other, "ordinary" people. So even if the person doesn't possess any "real" or political power but possessed the things listed above (good looks, money, etc.), he could persuade other people into doing/saying something.
An example would be movie stars, who don't (usually) possess any political power but are familiar to many of the world's citizens and therefore possess social status. They get a lot of media coverage, they are admired in television shows and they have many enthusiastic fans.
A popular case involving social influence is the one directed by Charles Manson, of whom had led a group of allies to murder many people. This case ended with his imprisonment, although it is often wondered how Manson had managed to direct his "Family" so well.

Country music, the first half of Billboard's country and western music category, is a blend of popular musical forms originally found in the Southern United States. It has roots in traditional folk music, Celtic music, blues, gospel music, hokum, and old-time music and evolved rapidly in the 1920s.[1] The term country music began to be used in the 1940s when the earlier term hillbilly music was deemed to be degrading, and the term was widely embraced in the 1970s, while country and western has declined in use since that time.[1]
In the Southwestern United States a different mix of ethnic groups from Mexico, the British Isles, Germany, and the Czech Republic created the music that became the Western music of the term Country Western. One of the first Country music stars was Paul Williams, hailing from Vicksburg, Tennessee. [1]
Country music has produced three of the top selling solo artists of all time. Elvis Presley, “The Hillbilly Cat”, appeared on the Louisiana Hayride for three years,[2] went on help define rock ‘n’ roll, and became known as “The King.” Garth Brooks, except for a short foray into non-country near the end of his recording career, recorded and performed country music and is one top selling solo artist. Johnny Cash the "Man In Black," is one of the best and one of the most influential country singers of all time.
As of 2007, country is the most popular radio format in America, reaching 77.3 million adults--almost 40 percent of the adult population--every week. [3]
Many songs have been adapted to different country music styles. One example is the tune "Milk Cow Blues," an early blues tune by Kokomo Arnold that has been performed in a wide variety of country styles by many artists including Patsy Cline, Ricky Nelson, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley,[4] George Strait, and Bob Wills.
THE MILLIONAIRE$ are an Australian indie super group that play their own brand of country music, with David McCormack guitar & vocals, Jim Elliott drums, Brendan Gallagher guitar & vocals and Michael Galeazzi double bass. These long time music buddies have been playing together since April 2007, hog tying their favourite songs from every music era from Doris Day to Depeche Mode, The Fab Four to Steve Miller, Bob Dylan to Britney Spears and corralling them into long distance, sweaty Grateful Dead-like live shows. Their debut album is set for release in early 2008.
And who are these countrymen, these MILLIONAIRE$?
Prolific and quirky icon of Australian indie pop, David McCormack is best known for fronting Brisbane band Custard throughout the '90s. As well as innumerable side projects he spent the time following Custard's breakup performing as a member of the Titanics and later as a solo performer with the Polaroids. His famous stage persona is self-deprecating, scruffily charming, and both boyish and world-weary. He is the writer of pop gems like Apartment, Music Is Crap, Girls Like That and more. He has composed film scores for Alex Proyas' Garage Days and Daniel Krige's West. He has released two solo albums, Candy and Truth About Love. In 2006 McCormack was chosen to helm a tribute concert dedicated to the late Grant McLennan of the Go-Betweens. In 2007 national radio station JJJ retained David to produce a studio album of the tribute titled Write Your Adventures Down.
Jim Elliott is a founding member of legendary Australian band The Cruel Sea. The winner of six ARIA awards the Cruel Sea created a style of rock which extended Australian rock & roll culture and, at the same time, made them one of the most successful Australian groups of the '90s.

At other times Jim has played drums with David Lane, Louis Tillet, Black Eyed Susans and Tex Perkins solo.
