The one-of-a-ldnd Village People is synonymous with dance music. These six talented men combine energetic choreography with outrageous fun and lots of bumping and grinding, singing and dancing, provide great entertainment for all ! Celebrating 30 years as the world's disco icons, Village People in 2008 perfmmed a full schedule of fairs, festivals, universities and casinos throughout the United States as well as Canada, Brazil, France, South Africa, Finland, Belgium, Spain, Italy and Poland.

And 2009 will include their 29th trip to Australia! "They helped define a Pop era, and they are back!" - Billboard THE FIRST DECADE Producer/Composer Jacques Morali, with partner Henri Belolo, found Felipe dancing in his Indian costume in a crowd in NY's Greenwich Village. Felipe's special visual attraction brought the idea to mind to put together a group of Village icons from a variety of American social groups. Soon after, Morali and Belolo saw Victor Willis in Broadway's The Wiz and Victor brought along Alex Briley to play a G.I. With partner Henri Belolo, Morali held auditions for 3 more performers and Village People was formed. In addition to Alexander Briley, David Hodo, Glenn Hughes, Jeff Olson, Felipe Rose and Ray Simpson, from 1977 through 1985, short term Village People included Miles Jaye, Randy Jones, Mark Lee, Ray Stephens and Victor Willis. Madonna and Joan Rivers are among the artists who have appeared as opening acts for Village People in Las Vegas, Madison Square Garden, Japan's Budokan, Sydney's Horden Pavillion and Hollywood's Greek Theatre.

"Village people have mainstream acceptance! The crowd lapped it up, singing along!" - Disney World's New Year's Eve Show; Orlando Sentinel THE SECOND DECADE After a short break from the rigors oftouring in 1986, during which some of the members explored individual careers, Village People regrouped under the banner of Sixuvus Ltd. ("six-of-us") - (following an agreement with Can't Stop Productions, owner of Village People name and trademark). Finally their own bosses; and with the help of a new management team, Village People has built an amazing success story of live performances worldwide, new young audiences, television and video appearances, and industry respect.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

  • Discourse on Disco

    Discourse on Disco

    Chapter 1: Introduction to the cultural context of electronic dance music The rhythmic structures of dance music arise primarily from the genre’s focus on moving dancers, but they reveal other influences as well. The poumtchak pattern has strong associations with both disco music and various genres of electronic dance music, and these associations affect the pattern’s presence in popular music in general. Its status and musical role there has varied according to the reputation of these genres. In the following introduction I will not present a complete history of related contributors, places, or events but rather examine those developments that shaped prevailing opinions and fields of tension within electronic dance music culture in particular. This culture in turn affects the choices that must be made in dance music production, for example involving the poumtchak pattern. My historical overview extends from the 1970s to the 1990s and covers predominantly the disco era, the Chicago house scene, the acid house/rave era, and the post-rave club-oriented house scene in England.5 The disco era of the 1970s DISCOURSE ON DISCO The image of John Travolta in his disco suit from the 1977 motion picture Saturday Night Fever has become an icon of the disco era and its popularity. Like Blackboard Jungle and Rock Around the Clock two decades earlier, this movie was an important vehicle for the distribution of a new dance music culture to America and the entire Western world, and the impact of its construction of disco was gigantic.6 It became a model for local disco cultures around the world and comprised the core of a common understanding of disco in mainstream popular music culture.

    VOL. 47, NO. 2 AUTUMN 2021 Employee Relations LAW JOURNAL A Guide to Drafting Effective Assignments of Copyrights and Patents in Employment Agreements and Beyond – Part I Steven H. Sholk In this two-part article, the author addresses the assignments that are necessary for employers to ensure their ownership of copy- rights and patents with reasonable certainty. In this first part, the author discusses the scope of copyright and patent protection and then authorship and copyright ownership of works made for hire; an author’s moral rights for works of visual art not made for hire; the rights of termination and recapture of copyright trans- fers for works not made for hire; specially ordered or commis- sioned works of independent contractors as works made for hire; works created by an employee within the scope of employment as works made for hire; the scope of employment under an employ- ment agreement; assignment of copyright for works not made for hire; and more. The second part, which will appear in an upcom- ing issue of Employee Relations Law Journal, will continue the analysis. “[T]he rule [for patent assignments] nonetheless remains a technical drafting trap for the unwary.” Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University v.

  • America Embraces Jayms Blonde

    America Embraces Jayms Blonde

    America Embraces Jayms Blonde MIAMI HERALD: A hairdresser by trade and a secret agent by choice, Jayms Blonde and his faithful pedicurist Precious Needmoore, lead the fight to save the planet from bad hair and bad air. Armed with bulletproof-mousse, Uzi blow-dry- ers, and hair-curler-hand-grenades, they rescue the dude-in-distress, and make saving the earth look fabulous. CONETICUTT POST: The combination of wild, globetrotting adventure and stylish graphic novel illustrations every few pages gives the book a wonderful over-the-top feel. Blonde’s foes are evil capitalists whose industries spike global warming and other eco-disasters. The hero and his cohorts work for STOP (Stop Terrorizing Our Planet) which is covertly funded by media celebrities. James Bond fought an organization known as SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) led by the supremely evil Ernst Blofeld. Blonde and STOP’s primary foe is ZENRON (Zillionaire Environmental Nihilist Reinstating Oligarchy Nobility). The group is repre- sented in the first adventure by “the richest, most beautiful and most heartless woman in the universe: Zaroya Sylva Kenmore Cohen Abud Grimaldi Chang.” Cabell clearly had a ball transforming literature and film’s most promiscuous het- erosexual spy into his very active gay hero. KIRKUS DISCOVERIES: Cabell makes the over-the-top zaniness and mock action-hero antics fun, and everything congeals into a wildly enjoyable ride for readers who enjoy the adventures of a muscle-bound, crime-fighting queen in tights. A super-silly, whirling first episode that will leave gay superhero fans scratching their heads-and eager for the next installment.
