  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    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.

Rodgers had met Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and after jamming together and listening to new songs that Ralphs had penned and songs that Rodgers had penned, Ralphs made the decision to leave Mott and form a new band with Rodgers. The duo recruited former King Crimson bassist/vocalist Boz Burrell, added drummer Simon Kirke and Rodgers Christened the band Bad Company.

  • Joan Baez, Ira Sandperl, and Thomas Merton's Non-Violent Activism
    21 Joan Baez, Ira Sandperl, and Thomas Merton’s Non-Violent Activism By Thomas Spencer In December 1966, Ira Sandperl, a teacher, Gandhi scholar, and outspoken advocate for peace and non-violence, and Joan Baez, the internationally known folk singer, visited Thomas Merton at the Abbey of Gethsemani. Merton’s close friend Wilbur “Ping” Ferry arranged the visit with the abbot, James Fox. Sandperl and Baez made a profound impression on Merton. As he later wrote Ferry, “They can help me just by being around: they are an inspiration.”1 Merton derived such inspiration from meeting people like Sandperl and Baez who not only shared common beliefs and principles but who also possessed eclectic interests that Merton could enjoy and appreciate. Sandperl, a self-taught scholar, and Baez, a talented and gifted singer, provided Merton with the type of fellowship and intellectual stimulation he found lacking at Gethsemani. Coming when it did, the visit was a welcome respite from the emotional turmoil Merton was experiencing in his personal life and from disagreements with his abbot. More importantly, their interest in visiting Merton attests to the far-reaching influence of what Baez describes as Merton’s “non-violent activism.” Although many might not think of Merton as an activist in the truest sense, others such as Baez and Sandperl certainly did. A close examination of Merton’s writings on peace and non-violence at this time shows that he did use the term activist in calling upon Christians of all faiths to further the cause of peace. Baez’s impressions of Merton’s importance and Merton’s writings confirm that activism is a term that can be defined in different ways.
