Weird Al Yankovic Comes to Cal Poly with 'Poodle Hat' Tour June 22
Cal Poly Plays Host to Weird Al's Poodle Hat Tour June 22 file:///X:/Copyright/Submissions/_PressReleases%20&%20Cal%20Pol... Skip to Content Cal Poly News Search Cal Poly News Go California Polytechnic State University May 21, 2003 Contact: Lisa Woske (805) 756-7110 Weird Al Yankovic Comes to Cal Poly with 'Poodle Hat' Tour June 22 SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA -- "Weird Al" Yankovic, the undisputed champion of musical satire, will return to San Luis Obispo with his all-new "Poodle Hat" tour on Sunday, June 22, 2003. Yankovic's 8 p.m. show at the Christopher Cohan Center, which launches the new Cal Poly Arts Center Stage Summer series, will feature the Gold and Platinum-selling comedy artist performing new pop culture send-ups that are as hot as the artists he spoofs. In a career that has spanned more than 20 years, the two-time Grammy winner's knack for finding absurdity in the mundane is as sharp and incisive as ever. Yankovic's newly-released CD, "Poodle Hat," (Way Moby/ Volcano), features parodies of Eminem, Avril Lavigne, Nelly, the Backstreet Boys, and Billy Joel, among others. "Weird Al" concerts are known to be high-energy, multimedia extravaganzas, complete with hilarious video montages and elaborate costume changes. The Poodle Hat Tour promises to be no exception and features Yankovic's long-time band: Jim West on guitar, Steve Jay on bass, and Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz on drums. Local audiences will remember that Yankovic's recording career began in the men's room across the hall from Cal Poly's KCPR radio station, where Yankovic was a DJ in 1979. -
Parody As a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015
Parody as a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by John P. Thomerson BM, State University of New York at Fredonia, 2008 MM, University of Louisville, 2010 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT Parody is the most commonly used structural borrowing technique in contemporary American vernacular music. This study investigates parody as a borrowing practice, as a type of humor, as an expression of ethnic identity, and as a response to intellectual trends during the final portion of the twentieth century. This interdisciplinary study blends musicology with humor studies, ethnic studies, and intellectual history, touching on issues ranging from reception history to musical meaning and cultural memory. As a structural borrowing technique, parody often creates incongruity—whether lyrical, stylistic, thematic, evocative, aesthetic, or functional—within a recognized musical style. Parodists combine these musical incongruities with other comic techniques and social conventions to create humor. Parodists also rely on pre-existing music to create, reinforce, and police ethnic boundaries, which function within a racialized discourse through which parodists often negotiate ethnic identities along a white-black binary. Despite parody’s ubiquity in vernacular music and notwithstanding the genre’s resonance with several key themes from the age of fracture, cultivated musicians have generally parody. The genre’s structural borrowing technique limited the identities musicians could perform through parodic borrowings. This study suggests several areas of musicological inquiry that could be enriched through engagement with parody, a genre that offers a vast and largely unexplored repertoire indicating how musical, racial, and cultural ideas can circulate in popular discourse. -

Annual Report Embraer LWYF 8,5X11in.Pdf 8/7/08 1:32:10 PM
2008 Annual Report Embraer_LWYF_8,5x11in.pdf 8/7/08 1:32:10 PM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Report from the Chairman Dear RAA Members and Friends, 2008 will be remembered as one of the most challenging periods in modern airline history. Crude oil has more than doubled in the past year, soaring past an all-time record price over $147 in July. When you consider that the price of oil has increased nearly 700 percent in less than seven years culminating with this year’s record smashing levels it is understandable why so many airlines around the world face uncertain times. Unfortunately, the crisis we are facing involves a battle on two fronts. Even as we are pressured on the cost side, the revenue environment in the airline industry continues to be a challenge. When you compare ticket prices from 2000 and the first half of 2008, domestic air fares have actually decreased. Yet fuel expenses burn through 40 percent of passenger revenues today, up from 15 percent in 2000. Twenty percent of the total cost of a $300 domestic one-stop ticket now goes toward government taxes and fees, up from 13 percent in 1992. Squeezed between expanding taxes and fees (now an $18 billion annual burden) and fuel prices, the revenue slice of the ticket-price pie is looking more and more like a sliver. The overriding issue for our economy, of course, is our country’s lack of a coherent energy policy and our chronic 2007-2008 inability to end our dependence on foreign oil. -
