  • My Generation
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] “Hope I die before I get old…” The Who – My Generation Das Frontcover von My Generation, dem Debütalbum von The Who, steht für eine ganz Ära, genauso wie die Musik darauf. Auf dem Foto trägt John Entwistle lässig eine Jacke über der Schulter, die aus einem Union Jack gefertigt wurde. Heutzutage findet man dieses Symbol auf Kaffeetassen, Kissenbezügen, T-Shirts und diversen anderen Kleidungsstücken. Aber im Dezember 1965, als My Generation herauskam, weigerten sich die meisten Schneider auf der Savile Row, den Union Jack in eine Jacke umzunähen. “Sie dachten, sie kämen dafür ins Gefängnis”, erzählte Roger Daltrey. Die abweisende Attitüde von The Who und die dreiste Verwendung der Nationalflagge waren die beste Werbung für My Generation, die man sich vorstellen konnte. Das Album klingt, wie es aussieht: kurz angebunden, auf Konfrontation aus und voller jungendlichem Zorn und Energie. Da überrascht es kaum, dass der Entstehungsprozess von Konflikten durchzogen war. My Generation war das Ergebnis eines mentalen Armdrückens – zwischen mutigen, neuen Ideen und Popmusiktradition. Als die Platte endlich in die Läden kam, war der Union Jack der Band zerrissen und blutverschmiert – als hätte er zwei Weltkriege mitgemacht. Das Album wurde von Shel Talmy produziert und die Erstveröffentlichung in Großbritannien im Dezember 1965 lief über Brunswick Records. In den USA kam es im April 1966 mit dem Titel ‘The Who Sings My Generation’ heraus. Auf der britischen Version findet sich das legendäre, von Decca Records Fotograf David Wedgbury in den Surrey Docks im Südosten London gemachte Foto, auf dem die vier Musiker alle in die über ihnen befindliche Linse schauen – eine Pose, die auch Jahre später noch von vielen Bands kopiert wurde.

  • MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward Demonstrates a Tune on Piano
    MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward demonstrates a tune on piano] [Brian Ward]: So around this time in rock and roll we really start to see a lot of fragmentation going on, and that’s reflected in this course. The way we have this designed is so that we can go in different directions with the music, and that’s what the music did all sort of at the same time. One of the directions is what we now call art rock and also progressive rock. Now art rock and progressive rock are terms that are used loosely. A good way to describe it is art rock is rock and roll that is influenced by classical music while progressive rock is more influenced by jazz, so- but you have different elements in varying degrees of influence and in different ways. A good illustration of that is one of the first bands that I want to talk about is The Who. Now The Who were definitely a straight down the line rock and roll band, and they started like a lot of these other British bands: imitating the blues and rhythm and blues music from the United States, but The Who were very unique. They had probably the most four individualized members of any band of all time. All four members of the band, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, were all very, very different people coming from different backgrounds, and that reflected in their music, and they used that to their advantage quite a bit. But with The Who I think rock star first becoming an art form in the sense that they had longer forms and they used many structures that eventually became mini-operas and they eventually made a rock opera called “Tommy.” Now when they started out they were more on the cutting edge of hard rock.

  • DRAMATURGY GUIDE School of Rock: the Musical the National Theatre January 16-27, 2019
    DRAMATURGY GUIDE School of Rock: The Musical The National Theatre January 16-27, 2019 Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber Book by Julian Fellowes Lyrics by Glenn Slater Based on the Paramount Film Written by Mike White Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and all the original songs from the movie Packet prepared by Dramaturg Linda Lombardi Sources: School of Rock: The Musical, The Washington Post ABOUT THE SHOW Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school to earn a few extra bucks. To live out his dream of winning the Battle of the Bands, he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching the students what it means to truly rock, something happens Dewey didn’t expect... they teach him what it means to care about something other than yourself. For almost 200 years, The National Theatre has occupied a prominent position on Pennsylvania Avenue – “America’s Main Street” – and played a central role in the cultural and civic life of Washington, DC. Located a stone’s throw from the White House and having the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site as it’s “front yard,” The National Theatre is a historic, cultural presence in our Nation’s Capital and the oldest continuously operating enterprise on Pennsylvania Avenue. The non-profit National Theatre Corporation oversees the historic theatre and serves the DC community through three free outreach programs, Saturday Morning at The National, Community Stage Connections, and the High School Ticket Program.

  • "The Who Sings My Generation" (Album)
    “The Who Sings My Generation”—The Who (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label The Who Founded in England in 1964, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon are, collectively, better known as The Who. As a group on the pop-rock landscape, it’s been said that The Who occupy a rebel ground somewhere between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while, at the same time, proving to be innovative, iconoclastic and progressive all on their own. We can thank them for various now- standard rock affectations: the heightened level of decadence in rock (smashed guitars and exploding drum kits, among other now almost clichéd antics); making greater use of synthesizers in popular music; taking American R&B into a decidedly punk direction; and even formulating the idea of the once oxymoronic sounding “rock opera.” Almost all these elements are evident on The Who’s debut album, 1966’s “The Who Sings My Generation.” Though the band—back when they were known as The High Numbers—had a minor English hit in 1964 with the singles “I’m the Face”/”Zoot Suit,” it wouldn’t be until ’66 and the release of “My Generation” that the world got a true what’s what from The Who. “Generation,” steam- powered by its title tune and timeless lyric of “I hope I die before I get old,” “Generation” is a song cycle worthy of its inclusive name. Twelve tracks make up the album: “I Don’t Mind,” “The Good’s Gone,” “La-La-La Lies,” “Much Too Much,” “My Generation,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Please, Please, Please,” “It’s Not True,” “The Ox,” “A Legal Matter” and “Instant Party.” Allmusic.com summarizes the album appropriately: An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone.
