The Travelin' Grampa The Travelin’ Grampa Touring the U.S.A. without an automobile Focus on safe, fast, convenient, comfortable, cheap travel, via public transit. Music Festivals Supplement Vol. 10, No. 7, July 2017 Photo credit: Red Frog Events, Firefly Music Festival. Firefly Music Festival 2017 in Dover, Delaware, reached by DART #301 bus, is said to have attracted 90,000 fans. It’s time again to ride a bus, or train, to a music festival Dozens of multi-day music festivals beckon during summer 2017. Ranging from psychedelically spotlighted rock music events, where performers and audience both jump around and wave their hands into the air, to those where the audience sits quietly as a full-fledged symphony orchestra plays classical music, many, if not most, of them are readily reachable by public transportation. The following pages of this special Music Festival Supplement focus on popular jazz, rock and classical music festivals and how to get to them via public transportation. Getting particular attention is the Firefly Music Festival, a four-day rock music fest in Dover, Delaware, attended by Grampa, who rode there by SEPTA train and DART First State bus.

Just as some events might have a place where cars can drop-off kiddies, Firefly had a parent drop off spot, from where Grampa could ride a tricycle pedicab to campsite or other destination. Firefly definitely not geared to grown-ups, but attracts many anyway Attendance at Firefly 2017 topped 90,000, say its promoters. Others guess 70.000, or maybe low as 60,000 paid full-price. When Grampa arrived early Thursday morning, official opening day, there was only a fraction of those numbers. Some vendors said they were told “to expect about 30% fewer fans” than the figure touted, said the daily Wilmington News Journal. “Ask just about any fan in The Woodlands and that person will tell you, the crowd is smaller,” wrote reporter Ryan Cormier. What definitely can be said about the audience is: it was ultimately humungous, overwhelmingly teenagers over age 16 and twenty-somethings, mostly female, light color skin, noisy and boisterous but otherwise well behaved, and largely sunburnt and exhausted by the time it was over. Grampa rode to Firefly on SEPTA train, #301 DART bus Grampa went to the annual Firefly Music Festival in Dover on a SEPTA #109 bus to Chester, Pa., SEPTA Regional Rail train to Wilmington, Del., and a DART #301 bus to Delaware State University. From there, it was a 25-minute walk to The Woodlands, the festival site, DART bus fare: $2.40. SEPTA train: $1.75. SEPTA bus: zero. Round-trip total: $8.30. For a not savvy adult, this trip could have cost $34 or more: $16 train, $4 SEPTA bus, $12 DART bus, because: (a) in Pennsylvania, seniors ride on public transit free*, (b) in Delaware, seniors pay half fare or less**, (c) SEPTA interstate railroad fare is 50% of regular adult fare, and (d) SEPTA train fare is cheaper from Chester than from center city stations. * Proper ID required, such as: SEPTA Senior photo ID card, or Medicare Card and photo ID showing age. ** Grampa has a red-color Senior DART Card, which cost $14 but provides $48 worth of rides.

Grampa seemed only age 80&+ guy at Firefly festival At Firefly, Grampa sensed he was the lone age eighty-something guy among a congregation that ultimately grew to perhaps 70,000 teenagers and twenty-somethings, plus many ages 30&+ and a smatter of folks in their 50s. He wasn’t the only senior citizen there, however. “I think the first year, we were two of maybe 10 people over 45,” said an annual attendee. “There definitely have been older people the last couple of years.” Judging by a Firefly Over 50 message board, the festival attracts folks up to at least age 69, most buying VIP tickets and staying at nearby hotels, motels, or in comfortable recreational vehicles or trailers. A few camped-out in tents, such as one age 69, accompanied by two 30-somethings and 14-year-old granddaughter. Most seniors there came from Delaware or nearby Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Virginia communities. Some were from far away as New York, Ohio and Canada. Seniors ignore dust, rain, mud to enjoy music, partying, fun Guy named Jeffrey, age 57, was there by himself. “I am not a loner and I am not a misfit,” he insisted. “I just like good music.” Quite a few others at Firefly agreed with him. Gal named Allyson, also age 51, from Virginia, hoped to attend the Bonnaroo rock festival in Tennessee earlier in June, but that was at the same time as her son’s high school graduation. So, she went to Firefly instead. Performers named The Weeknd and Chance the Rapper performed at both events. Another age-resistant fan said, “Here I am at 60+ going to my 3rd Firefly. “I really enjoy the whole experience: the music, the people who won’t let mud, dust, or rain ruin their fun – and falling asleep to the happy sounds of the all-night partiers,” wrote another.

  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism
    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

  • How to Use Inclusion Riders to Increase Gender Diversity in the Music Industry
    Seton Hall University eRepository @ Seton Hall Law School Student Scholarship Seton Hall Law 2019 Can't Hold Us Down”1: How to Use Inclusion Riders to Increase Gender Diversity in the Music Industry Laura Kozel Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship Part of the Law Commons Recommended Citation Kozel, Laura, "Can't Hold Us Down”1: How to Use Inclusion Riders to Increase Gender Diversity in the Music Industry" (2019). Law School Student Scholarship. 1019. https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/1019 ABSTRACT Despite improvements in female visibility and a number of movements pushing for equality in recent years, gender imbalance continues to plague the world of entertainment. While strides have been made to achieve parity in the film industry, little progress has been made to achieve the same in music where the disproportionality of females is even worse. Females are chronically underrepresented across virtually all aspects of music, both on-stage and off-stage, whether it be as musicians or as executives, which subsequently effects the amount of nominations, as well as awards that females in music receive. The implementation of inclusion riders in Hollywood has demonstrably improved female representation in popular films, but until now inclusion riders have not been applied to the music industry. This paper explores the application of inclusion riders to the music industry in order to remedy a long-standing history of female exclusion, as well as increase visibility for the vast number of talented females in the music industry that deserve the same opportunities and recognition, but until now have remained invisible.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993
    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.

Maase also has a ten­ dency to argue in a quasi-teleological way, suggesting that all develop­ ments within European popular culture were ultimately targeted at the basic cultural shift that he recognizes. This reader would have welcomed a more elaborate annotation, although this is partially compensated by the selected bibliography at the end. Also disappointing is the lack of an index in a work with such scholarly pretensions. Nevertheless, the book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of European popular culture. The publisher should seriously consider an English translation, in order to reach a much broader, international audience. Tilburg University, The Netherlands Mel van Elteren Chelsea House Publisher's newest addition to their Pop Culture Legends Series (which includes books on Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, Stephen King, and Bruce Springsteen, among others) is a short history of the leg­ endary Grateful Dead (GO). These books, designed for young adult readers and the general public, provide a unique perspective on popular culture icons. Scholars of Popular Culture can study and analyze books like these in order to have a greater understanding of how such figures fit into the popular milieu and mindset of our culture.
