Issue 441 Truth Behind a ‘Crush’ to Judgment Bias, Bigotry, Questionable Decision Making and a Rush to Judg- Ment – This Story Has It All March 30, 2015, Issue 441 Truth Behind A ‘Crush’ To Judgment Bias, bigotry, questionable decision making and a rush to judg- ment – this story has it all. Interestingly, those terms best fit national media outlets, not Country radio nor the overwhelming majority of country listeners. Simply put, not a single Country radio station has pulled Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush” from the airwaves. Go ahead and read that again. Despite breathless headlines led by The Washington Post’s “Why stations are pulling Little Big Town’s ‘Girl Crush’ – and what that says about country radio,” Country Aircheck can’t find any- one who’s dropped the song. Nor can Little Big Town’s label, Capitol/ Nashville.

PAGE THREE PIC That brings us back to fortunate. Is Bristol the only radio company you’ve worked for? I was originally hired by Bristol Broadcasting Company in 1965, when it was only an AM station. That was WFHG/Bristol, VA. I worked one year with another company in 1968 – Scripps Howard at WNOX/Knoxville. I was the morning guy there and Claude Tallman was the morning guy on WIVK. Then I was back at BBC from ‘69 to ‘82, when I decided I could be an entrepre- neur and sell motorcycles and Sony TVs and electronic gear. I did that for three years. BBC owner Pete Nininger and I had stayed in touch because we were friends. He offered me a chance to come back and I’ve been here ever since. So it amounts to about 46 years with one outfit. What first drew you to radio? It kind of ran in the family. My mother was the continuity direc- tor for WOPI in town. That’s the same station Tennessee Ernie Ford also worked at. I’d go hang out after school and they allowed me to put away albums they’d pulled for various music shows. I thought, “Wow, this is cool!” You’ve had 81 No. 1 books in a row. Does it ever get to a point where you take that for granted? No it does not. The trait of the radio industry is that nothing ever stays the same. It’s always changing and there are new challenges, whether they’re technical or competitive.

If 2020 was the summer where everyone stayed home, 2021 will be the one where people can’t wait to get back out.

But the consultant’s lettuce-and-tomatoes analogy last week in this space touched off a social and, eventually, major media tidal wave. Go figure. We’ll get to Hill in the next story (right), after female PDs and MDs weigh in with their thoughts on a well-known though still confounding reality. In full disclosure, some of the women we contacted declined to contribute for lack of time or lack of what they felt would be helpful feedback. Some passed because they weren’t comfortable publicly commenting in a “no-win argument.” And some came to us asking to be part of the conversation.

  • Journal of Academic Perspectives
    Journal of Academic Perspectives Religion, Politics, and Public Discourse: Bruce Springsteen and the Public Church of Roll Frederick L. Downing, Professor of Philosophy & Religious Studies, Valdosta State University and Jonathan W. Downing, Co-Director, Screaming Shih-Tzu Productions Abstract The thesis of this paper is that Bruce Springsteen’s art participates in a musical public square in which the outsider can come up close and overhear a dialogue that has been going on for centuries. Following the work of Robert Detweiler on religion and public life, this paper starts from the premise that the bard’s music, like literature, creates a type of public square or a form of public discourse where urgent matters of human survival, like the nature and nurture of a just state, are expressed, a call for social justice can be heard, and faith and hope for the future can be assimilated. Using the theory of Martin Marty on religion and civic life, the paper further describes Springsteen’s work as the creation of a “public church” beyond sectarian demand which is open to all and approximates, in his language, a true “land of hopes and dreams.” The paper uses the theory of Walter Brueggemann on the ancient church idea to demonstrate the nature and dimension of Springsteen’s “public church.” Using Brueggemann’s theory, Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball album is shown to have both a prophetic and priestly function. As a writer and performer, Springsteen demonstrates on this album and on the Wrecking Ball tour that he not only speaks truth to power, but attempts to create a sense of alternative vision and alternative community to the unjust status quo.

  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.
