  • Indigo Girls,The Roots Report
    Roots Report: An Interview with Jimmy Webb Okee dokee folks…One of the biggest legends in the songwriting world is coming to the Greenwich Odeum on October 25. Most “civilians” may not know the name Jimmy Webb, but we songwriters sure do! Webb is responsible for some for some of the greatest and memorable songs of ALL TIME including “Up, Up and Away,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” “The Worst That Could Happen,” “All I Know” and “MacArthur Park.” A Jimmy Webb show is extremely entertaining. He performs many of his classic hits (on piano & vocals) and tells great stories behind them as well of his experiences with other artists. Glen Campbell was one of his good friends of his and talks a lot about this and collaborations with others such as Linda Rondstat, Art Garfunkel, and Carly Simon. I had a VERY long conversation with Jimmy Webb a few years back and spoke with him again recently. Jimmy Webb: Hello, John John Fuzek: Hi, Jimmy, how are you? JW: Oh, I’m pretty good, I just had five gigs in a row and I’m a little bit hoarse. JF: I know the feeling all too well, I can empathize JW: I’m ok, I’m fit, I’m certified for an interview, though I may cough every once in a while JF: (laughs) Where did you just play? JW: I played, umm, two gigs in San Diego, then I went up to Seattle and I played two gigs up there, then I had one in Portland, then I flew back, I got back late last night JF: you’re out on Long Island, right? JW: Laura (Savini) and I live on the North Shore of Long Island in a place that time forgot called Bayville.

  • Holladay Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Jesus on the Radio: Theological Reflection and Prophetic Witness of American Popular Music Meredith Anne Holladay, Ph.D. Mentor: Christopher Marsh, Ph.D. The image of God in humanity is the image of the creator, the creative spirit, the imagination, manifest in our ability to understand, appreciate, and reflect on the beauty of God in creation. Therefore, the spirit of imagination, beauty, and creativity is intrinsic to the fullness of a life of faith. Art is a boon to a life of faith; additionally art and creativity allow for and create a space for genuine theological reflection. Arguments made about art in general can be applied to forms of popular culture. The foundation for this project explores the nuances between definitions of “popular culture”, and asserts that popular culture can be and often is meaning-making and identity-forming. The theological significance of popular culture is couched in terms of theological reflection and prophetic witness. The implicit assumption that anything dubbed “Christian” maintains theological depth, and creations lacking that distinction are ‘secular,’ or ‘profane,’ and therefore devoid of any moral good or theological import, is false, and a distinction this project serves in dissolving.
