Eliminate the box.’ And then you will learn to be comfortable in the uncomfortable and you will find your authentic voice.” - Eddie George

The nonprofit Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) announced in December that NFL legend, former Tennessee Titan, actor, and entrepreneur Eddie George will serve as an advocate for TPAC Education. Millions know George as a record-setting superstar who distinguished himself at The Ohio State University, where he won the Heisman Trophy, for the Tennessee Titans, and within the National Football League. Nashville audiences also know his work as an actor including Amun Ra Theatre’s God’s Trombones, the title roles in Julius Caesar and Othello for Nashville Shakespeare Theatre, and Nashville Repertory Theatre’s The Whipping Man. He recently completed a seven-week run as “Billy Flynn” in the Broadway musical Chicago. George received TPAC’s highest honor, The Applause Award, in 2014 for his distinguished contributions to the arts and the community. The following summer, he joined the TPAC Board of Directors. In this Q&A, George talks about his commitment to increasing awareness of the need for arts education and its positive impact on educational achievement and well-being. page 18 » Support TPAC’s nonprofit mission online atTPAC.ORG/ Donate. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Q: Why are you tackling this new role for TPAC Education? Eddie George: I saw this as a great opportunity to share my story. The arts have been a huge part of my life. I grew up going to plays with my mother. She put me in ballet lessons. I was very reluctant in doing so, but I took ballet again in college to help with my athleticism on the field. And now after playing the game, I’ve found a new career and peace in doing theatre. I really want to inspire children to delve into the arts because there is so much to explore about yourself, what you can become, what you can do, and how you can express your artistic talents. Q: What messages do you want to relay to parents and children, along with educators and arts supporters? EG: The arts are about aligning yourself with what you want to do and your passions. They are about not being afraid and fighting through the fear or doubt over what people may say. For me, going into theatre was a no brainer. It was a great challenge, and I’ve enjoyed really getting to know who I am. It was a spiritual journey for me, and it still is. To be able to tell the truth in imaginary settings through various writings and different characters resonated with me. I think kids should be able to explore that, and to not be afraid of it. We often see that kids shy away from theatre or public speaking. I want young people to see all things are possible. I was inspired by the story of Paul Robeson and how he was able to transform his life from an athlete, learning how to read and write at a late age, to become a great orator, an opera singer, and a civil rights activist. It wasn’t one thing that he was. I’m not that either. I’m not going to pin myself down as an actor or as a football player or Eddie George with students visiting TPAC from Forks River Elementary in Smith County, photo by Mimosa Arts as an entrepreneur. I can do all things. I bring that same amount of integrity, passion, and focus into everything that I do, whether it’s reading a book to children, or reading a play, or giving a presentation to potential clients for my business. So, I would say to kids, ‘Don’t think outside the box. Eliminate the box.’ Then, they will learn to be comfortable in the uncomfortable and they will find their authentic voice. Q: How do you hope to inspire children through the arts? EG: Hopefully, I can inspire them to pursue their dreams. Every time I get on the stage I come alive. It’s a funny thing. Hopefully, I can inspire kids to become whatever they want to be. The great thing about being an actor is that you have a chance to experience almost every occupation, whether it’s a lawyer, a general, a servant, or a president. Whatever that may be, you have a chance to experience that on stage, and that may inspire you to become our next president, or an athlete. That’s the beauty of being an actor. You can be anything you want to be. Students visiting TPAC from Dudley Head Start in Nashville, photo by Mimosa Arts

“Eddie is an extraordinary role model, a unique individual who’s at the top of his game in whatever he does as an athlete, an actor, an entrepreneur, or humanitarian. We couldn’t be more thrilled about his deep interest in how TPAC Education engages and inspires young people. Talented in his own right and a born mentor, Eddie is an excellent messenger for how someone can expand and enrich their life through participation with the arts.” - Kathleen O’Brien, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tennessee Performing Arts Center

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ page 19 ABOUT JANIS JOPLIN That voice — high, husky, earthy, explosive — remains among the most distinctive and galvanizing in pop history. But Janis Joplin didn’t merely possess a great instrument; she threw herself into every syllable, testifying from the very core of her being. She claimed the blues, soul, gospel and rock with unquestionable authority and verve, fearlessly inhabiting psychedelic guitar jams, back-porch roots and everything in between. Her volcanic performances left audiences stunned and speechless, while her sexual magnetism, world-wise demeanour and flamboyant style shattered every stereotype about female artists — and essentially invented the “rock mama” paradigm.

Born in Port Arthur, Texas, on January 19, 1943, Joplin fell under the sway of Lead Belly, Bessie Smith and Big Mama Thornton in her teens, and the authenticity of these voices strongly influenced Janis’ decision to become a singer. A self-described “misfit” in high school, she suffered virtual ostracism, but dabbled in folk music with her friends and painted. She briefly attended college in Beaumont and Austin but was more drawn to blues legends and beat poetry than her studies; soon she dropped out and, in 1963, headed for San Francisco, eventually finding herself in the notoriously drug-fuelled Haight Ashbury neighbourhood.

She returned to Texas to escape the excesses of the Haight, enrolling as a sociology student at Lamar University, adopting a beehive hairdo and living a generally “straight” life despite occasional forays to perform in Austin. But California drew her back into its glittering embrace in 1966, when Janis joined the Haight-based PHOTO: JOAN MARCUS JOAN PHOTO:

Her adoption of a wild sartorial style — with frizzed-out hair, bangles, and extravagant attire that winked, hippie-style, at the burlesque era — further spiked her burgeoning reputation.

The band’s increasingly high-profile shows earned them a devoted fan base and serious industry attention; they signed with Columbia Records and released their major-label debut in 1967. Of course, it was Joplin’s seismic presence that caused all the commotion, as evidenced by her shattering performance in June of that year at the Monterey Pop Festival, which was captured for posterity by filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker; in the film, fellow pop star Mama Cass Elliot can be seen mouthing the word, “Wow,” as Joplin tears her way through "Ball And Chain".

Big Brother’s "Piece of My Heart", on 1968’s Cheap Thrills LP, shot to the #1 spot. The album sold a million copies in a month and Joplin became a sensation — earning rapturous praise from Time and Vogue, appearing on The Dick Cavett Show and capturing the imagination of audiences that had never experienced such fiery intensity in a female rock singer. Her departure from Big Brother and emergence as a solo star were inevitable; she put together her own outfit, the Kozmic Blues Band, and in 1969 released I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama!, which immediately went gold. That year also saw her give a historic performance at Woodstock.

Joplin assembled a new backup group, the Full Tilt Boogie Band, in 1970; she also joined the Grateful Dead, the Band and other artists for the Festival Express railroad tour through Canada. Her musical evolution followed the earthier, rootsier direction of the new decade, as reflected in her final studio album, the landmark Pearl. Embracing material such as Kris Kristofferson’s gorgeous ballad "Me and Bobby McGee" and her own a cappella plaint "Mercedes Benz", the disc showcased Joplin’s mastery of virtually all pop genres. The latter song was, along with a phone message birthday greeting for John Lennon, the last thing she recorded; she died in October of 1970, and Pearl was released posthumously the following year. The quadruple platinum set became the top-selling release of Joplin’s career and, in 2003, was ranked #122 on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”

In the years since, Janis Joplin’s recordings and filmed performances have cemented her status as an icon, inspiring countless imitators and musical devotees. Myriad hit collections, live anthologies and other releases have kept her legend alive, as have shows such as the hit Love, Janis — which Joplin’s sister, Laura, helped create — and 2009’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe “Best Solo Performance” nominee Janis. A documentary film, produced by Alex Gibney and Jeff Jampol and directed by Oscar nominee Amy Berg, is currently in production. In 1988, the Janis Joplin Memorial, featuring a bronze sculpture by artist Douglas Clark, was unveiled in Port Arthur.

Joplin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and posthumously given a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. But such honours only made official what rock fans already knew: that she was among the greatest, most powerful singers the form had ever known — and that she’d opened the door for countless artists across the musical spectrum.

KEEP ROCKIN’ AT TPAC AND Alice Cooper, the legendary performer who pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock designed to shock, brings his signature sound and style to Nashville with a performance at TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall on May 2, 2016. There is little Cooper hasn't achieved in his remarkable career filled with platinum albums, sold-out tours, and several awards. As the architect of shock rock, he drew equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to create stage shows featuring electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and boa constrictors. Cooper, who rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continues to surprise fans both old and new with his own brand of rock psycho-drama, enjoying it as much as the audience.

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE WITH SPECIAL GUESTS ASKING ALEXANDRIA AND CANE HILL MAY 25 • 8:00 P.M. Bullet For My Valentine bare their teeth like never before on the aptly-titled Venom (RCA Records). The UK metal powerhouse didn’t hold anything back or pull any punches. When it came time to strike on their fifth full-length record, they rallied around one unified goal. The group has firmly etched their place within the modern metal pantheon.
