    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

    MOVIE MEMORIES Music from movies empowers their drama and emotion. What would a movie be without its musical score? Pianist Alan Pearlmutter and clarinetist Linda Poland team up to perform theme songs from great movies. Selections include older classics such as Singin’ in The Rain, Taking a Chance on Love, Tara’s Theme, and I’m in the Mood for Love. Songs from later films are represented by the music of Michel Legrand (The Way He Makes Me Feel, The Windmills of Your Mind), and Viktor’s Theme by John Williams from The Terminal, which features a clarinet solo.

This case involves trading by Hannon in the securities of his then-employer, the TJX Companies, Inc. (“TJX”), a publicly-traded Massachusetts-based company that is the parent company of retail store chains T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. 2. In 2012 and 2013, Hannon was a mid-level manager at TJX and, as a result of his position, he had daily access to material, nonpublic information about TJX’s sales. Using this inside knowledge in part, Hannon purchased TJX stock in advance of certain press releases publicly announcing the financial successes of TJX’s retail stores. Shortly thereafter, Hannon sold his TJX stock, reaping trading profits totaling approximately $26,000 when the stock price increased following these public announcements.
