Some Advice for Phone-Addicted Youth Who Want To
The Roots Report: Look What’s Going Down: Artists have a duty to voice their opinions Okee dokee folks… “It’s s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s going down.” This is from one of the most famous protest songs ever written, “For What It’s Worth,” by Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield). It was written more than 50 years ago in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in California and is still revered as one of the best songs of that generation. A few years later, Neil Young wrote his song “Ohio” about the Kent State shootings. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young quickly recorded this song, and when it was released as a single, it was backed with another Stephen Stills protest anthem “Find The Cost Freedom.” At the time, “Ohio” was banned by some radio stations, but today it is one of the few actual protest songs still being played on radio. These songs, the bands and the writers were major inspirations and influences for me as a musician and songwriter. Not only do I perform “Ohio” with my band Forever Young and “For What It’s Worth” when I play solo, but I have written many sociopolitical songs of my own that are part of my body of solo work. I feel protest songs need to be written, but they are the hardest type of song to get right. They need to express the concern and anger of the subject matter and marry it perfectly with a melody to make the song viable. -

Major New Festival Features Legendary Rock Band Spring and Fall Are the Busy Times in Southern Maryland for Festivals, Fairs
Major new festival features legendary rock band Posted by Dick.Myers_Editor On 05/29/2013 Spring and fall are the busy times in Southern Maryland for festivals, fairs and other special events. But there was that short window of opportunity right after Memorial Day for another major event. Summerseat Farm on Route 235 in Oakville has seized that opportunity. This Saturday, June 1st will be the first Beer, Bands & BBQ. The bands part of the event features legendary rockers the Smithereens. To order tickets for Beer, Bands and BBQ, go to the Summerseat website at http://www.summerseat.org/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx The Smithereens formed in1980 and continue to this day with most of the original members, including lead vocalist and guitarist Pat DiNizio. All the original members were from New Jersey. The only change from the original band occurred in 2006 when Severo Jomacion took over bass guitar from Mike Mesaros. Other members are Jim Babjak (guitar and vocals), and Dennis Diken (drums and percussion). The band is noted for writing and playing catchy 19060’s influenced power pop. Their first album, “Blood and Roses” was included in the soundtrack for the 1986 movie “Dangerously Close.” This month and next the Smithereens will be special guests of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for six concerts. They have collaborated in the studio with musicians such as Suzanne Vega and Belinda Carlisle and on stage with Graham Parker and the Kinks. Other bands performing from Beer, Bands and BBQ from 1-8 p.m. are 80’s Metal Hair tribute band “One Louder” and local favorites “Justin Myles Experience” and the “Sam Grow Band.” Rounding out the other two “B’s” in the title of the event are 10 premium and craft beers and plenty of finger lickin’ food. -
The Roots Report: an Interview with Dennis Diken
The Roots Report: An Interview with Dennis Diken In December of last year, Pat DiNizio, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of the band The Smithereens, died at the age of 62. The Smithereens have had hits with songs such as, “Blood and Roses,” “Only a Memory” and “A Girl Like You.” DiNizio’s untimely passing was not only an emotional blow to the band, but it put their future in jeopardy. In January of this year they turned an already scheduled show into a tribute to DiNizio. At that concert several guest vocalists/musicians joined the band and among them was Marshall Crenshaw. He is known for his hits, “Someday, Someway” and “Whenever You’re On My Mind.” Besides those songs and others he played the role of Buddy Holly in the film LaBamba and began his career as John Lennon in Beatlemania. Crenshaw will be filling the vacant vocalist spot along with the surviving members of the Smithereens: Dennis Diken, Jim Babjak, and Mike Masaros when they come to the Greenwich Odeum on Saturday, November 17. I spoke with drummer, Dennis Diken about what has been going on with the band. Dennis Diken (Smithereens): Hey, John, it’s Dennis Diken from the Smithereens John Fuzek (Motif): Hi, how are you? Thanks for calling! DD: I am good, how are you doing, man? JF: I am good, so you are playing a show at the Greenwich Odeum next week, it’s a nice venue, have you ever played there? DD: It does not ring a bell but it’s been a long time we’ve been touring, it’s possible but I don’t think so JF: Maybe you played the Narrows last time that you were in town? I am not sure, I just know that I have missed your show every time you play! DD: I don’t think we have been to RI in a while. -

no./Zfi AN ANALYSIS OF TIME IN THE POETRY OF THOMAS HARDY John F. .Noonan A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1969 Approved by Doctoral Committ \dvi s Department of English EEN STATE UNIVERSITY U3BARY 31^^71 II 428619 ABSTRACT The presence of gloom in the poetry of Thomas Hardy has been noted by critics since the appearance of his earliest volumes. His occasional buoyancy has also been verified in critical studies. This dissertation has explored this range of responses to life in Hardy’s poetry using his treatment of time as the central reference. In those poems that take a dim view of reality, time is often seen as the villain. It is the invisible force which separates men from the joys of childhood and the boundless aspirations of youth, and it is nearly always part of the reason why the present is painful. A regular cycle can be observed: men move in time from faith and felicity to skepticism and sadness. The future, too, is frequently colored gray by Hardy, as he sees there one more threat to the human quest for happiness and contentment. But Hardy’s attitude toward the future is not consistently gloomy. Throughout Collected Poems one can find numerous instances where he reveals a glimmer of hope that life will eventually take a turn for the better. These poems show clearly the redemptive role played occasionally by time In Hardy’s poetry, and argue the invalidity of applying the label "pessimistic” to all of his work. -
