  • JUKEBOX AWARDS 2014 OBJECT LESSONS As I Returned Home From
    JUKEBOX AWARDS 2014 OBJECT LESSONS As I returned home from shopping one morning, I noted a sign posted on a streetlamp. It announced an estate sale. Ordinarily I demur from any opportunity to add one more item to my inventory of possessions. Nonetheless, the location of the event was on my street and only six addresses down. I made my approach and slowly realized it was a two flat I had privately dubbed “the house with the Nazi gate,” due to its wrought iron entry containing a design element, which incorporated the swastika. (Though the quasi-Greek cross design preceded the twentieth century scourge of Nazism, the roots of the ideogram in South and East Asia which became a representation of the inexorable wheel of history vanish into the past.) I opened that gate and entered. Inside I found a handful of people puttering amidst the belongings of a man who I had often seen on the front porch, engaged in the act of combing his dog’s fur. Snatches of overheard conversation revealed that the man had died and the proceeds from the sale of his home and belongings would be donated to an unnamed church. I pawed through a handful of books and found nothing of interest. A selection of records provided no discernible unifying theme, genre or focus. Spotting a reggae 45-RPM single, I had the sudden insight that much of what I was seeing appeared to be souvenirs: a record from Jamaica, a wood carving of Lao-Tse from Taiwan, a dish from here and a figurine from there.

  • Intertextuality in Popular Music After 1965 (By Joseph R. Matson)
    Intertextuality in Popular Music after 1965 A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Joseph R. Matson IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Peter Mercer-Taylor, Advisor December 2016 © Joseph R. Matson 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The present work is the result of several years’ labor, but I did not labor alone. Many people have generously offered me their support and guidance, and without them, this dissertation would not exist. My entry into higher education was not guaranteed. It depended on substantial financial support, first from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which ultimately allowed me to complete a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree from Iowa State University. Then subsequent financial support came from the University of Iowa, where I earned a Master of Arts degree in Musicology, and from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), which provided funding for me to complete a German language immersion program. Finally, the University of Minnesota supported the pursuit of my doctoral studies in Musicology / Ethnomusicology. Any degree in higher education requires a significant investment of time and resources, and these institutions have invested in me for more than a decade. During my doctoral studies, I gained valuable professional experience through my faculty appointments at Illinois State University, Millikin University, and Illinois Wesleyan University. Each of these institutions took a chance on me in the early stages of my career, and I am grateful for the opportunities they afforded me and for the faith they placed in me. All six of the above-named universities provided access to materials that would otherwise have been inaccessible, primarily through the substantial collections of resources housed in their various libraries.
