  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

    Ballydugan Update Letterfinlay, 12 Lake Road, Ballydugan, Downpatrick, BT30 8HY email: [email protected] To make an end is to make a beginning T.S. Eliot Dear Friends & Prayer Supporters ~ Greetings from Ballydugan The leaves are turning, the blackberries are well out and the swallows have assembled. Despite blue skies, sun shining and reasonably warm temperatures, autumn is here and we have marked our one year of living in Ireland. Thank you for all who have continued to remember us and pray. Coming here has been a fulfilment of many years of prayer and commitment to this land and its people. Whilst we will for a number of reasons be returning home to Northumberland this autumn [earlier than we’d anticipated] we shall continue to pray, visit, support and work with people and issues that remain an integral part of our calling. Primarily for family and financial reasons we are returning this month We have, as I shared in a previous update, purchased a new home in Wooler on the High Street with all its potential challenges and opportunities. High Street Wooler Back Garden Ireland has for many years been a place of great inspiration, particularly for me. There are aspects of being here that continue to inspire and energise. However, having been a place of inspiration it is also a place of exasperation. 1 As I’ve cited before, it is a very paradoxical place and our experience of being here has seen both the best of times and the worst of times. I pay tribute to my amazing wife Shirley, whose support is unstinting and whose grace and patience is unswerving.

  • Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark
    Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark Mourne Gullion Strangford, UK Geographical and geological summary 1. Physical and human geography The Mourne Gullion Strangford Aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark (aUGGp) is midway between the cities of Belfast (UK) and Dublin (Republic of Ireland) and is located on the main road and rail network that connects the two. Belfast has a population of 340,220 people whilst Dublin has a population of 1,346,359 people. The main city is Newry that is within 1-hour travelling time of two international airports (Dublin and Belfast International), one regional airport (George Best Belfast City), and two international passenger ferry ports (Warrenpoint and Dublin). The Mourne Gullion Strangford aUGGp is located in the SE of Northern Ireland, adjacent to the border with the Republic of Ireland. The aUGGp has an area of 960 sq km, and a population of 100,322. The mean population density is 106.62 people per sq km but this ranges from the sparsely populated upland areas to the urban centres of Newry, Downpatrick, Newcastle and Kilkeel. The region boasts 3 discrete upland regions in the Dromara Hills, Mourne Mountains, and Slieve Gullion. The highest point is within the Mourne Mountains and is Slieve Donard at 850 m. The uplands are surrounded by lowlands covered in glacial sediment, much of which is in the form of drumlins. The mountains are dissected by valleys formed by ice during the last glaciation. Carlingford Lough, a drowned glacial valley, lies on the southern edge of the proposed Geopark, and Strangford Lough, the largest sea inlet in the UK and Ireland, lies at the eastern edge of the proposed Geopark, both of which are important to the early human history of the region and later as major transport routes.
