  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Iron King by Maurice Druon the Iron King Summary & Study Guide
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Iron King by Maurice Druon The Iron King Summary & Study Guide. The Iron King Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections: This detailed literature summary also contains Topics for Discussion on The Iron King by Maurice Druon. The novel of "The Iron King" by Maurice Druon is the first in a cycle of seven books "The Accursed Kings" which chronicle the formation of the Nation state of France from the early Fourteenth Century onwards. The tale of the "Iron King" concerns itself with the reign of King Philip IV (or Philip the Fair, known for his outstanding handsomeness). Philip the Fair was an autocratic ruler, a widower and the father of four children, Isabella, Louis, Philippe and Charles. Isabella is now, at the start of the book the Queen of England and has been locked into a loveless marriage with King Edward the Second. Philip the fair's three younger sons are all princes of the realm and married to the ladies of Burgundy; Beatrice, Jeanne, and Blanche. The novel starts with the Chevalier Robert of Artois plotting with Queen Isabella to bring down the princesses of France. Having recently discovered that they are adulterous, he realizes that he can use this fact to bring down their family of Burgundy and the real object of his hatred — their mother Mahaut and his own Aunt. He desires this because Mahaut received lands as a dowry for marrying into the royal family, and he wishes to regai the lands of Burgundy and everything that his family had lost.
