  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Walk This Way- Estratégias De Remodelagem Da Banda Aerosmith Direcionadas Ao Mainstream
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação ______________________________________________________________________ Walk this way- Estratégias de remodelagem da banda Aerosmith direcionadas ao mainstream. Um estudo de caso1 Camilla LAPA2 Lorena AROUCHE3 Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, PE RESUMO Aerosmith, banda de hard rock surgida no início da década de 70, precisou ser reconfigurada estrategicamente, incorporando uma linguagem audiovisual na forma de videoclipes e a roupagem pop sonora para consolidar-se no mainstream nas décadas seguintes. A pesquisa, aqui apresentada, configura-se em estudo de caso, que tem como fundamentação teórica os estudos sobre Música pop e Mainstream desenvolvidos por Frederic Martel. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Videoclipe; mainstream; rock. Este artigo pretende investigar de que forma o audiovisual videoclipe aliado a estratégias outras introduziu, definitivamente, a banda, originalmente, hard rock Aerosmith ao universo pop/ mainstream, agregando ao grupo uma nova geração de fãs, telespectadores da MTV. Qual a estratégia de aproximação engajada a seduzir os jovens, utilizada nos videoclipes e nos canções? O Aerosmith ganhou inúmeros prêmios na época, que se configurou em fase pop do grupo. Como a gravadora Geffen moldou uma estratégia para re-estruturar uma banda de rock, que havia saído do foco da mídia há anos, em rock pop? Como surgiu a ideia dos videoclipes, porque eles funcionaram? Tais questões acima supracitadas balizaram e nortearam a pesquisa para o desenvolvimento do trabalho. Figuram como o mote que despertou a curiosidade a respeito das estratégias específicas que tangenciam para o mainstream, utilizadas por empresários, produtores e especialmente a gravadora. Nos anos 80 o videoclipe foi amplamente utilizado como uma forma de divulgação para o artista.

  • Aerosmith Album Review About the Band
    AEROSMITH ALBUM REVIEW ABOUT THE BAND Aerosmith is an old band that plays a variety of rock genres like heavy metal, hard rock and blues rock. They’re mostly known for their descriptive songs, some touch up on some questionable topics. Lyric wise, they don’t hide anything. Their songs have very suggestive lyrics and some innuendos here and there. They were super popular in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Their attitude seems more relaxed and down to earth. Some of their songs are great inspiration. For example, there’s “Dream On”, their first big hit. Most of their songs are one that really get your feet tapping to the beat, but Dream On isn’t like that. If you like music that’s up beat and cool at the same time, Aerosmith is definitely a band you’d enjoy. MEMBERS • Steven Tyler – Creator of the band and lead vocalist. (Middle) • Joe Perry – Good friend of Steven Tyler and lead guitarist. (Mid-left) • Joey Kramer – Drums and percussion. (Right-most) • Brad Whitford – Backing guitarist. (Mid-right) • Tom Hamilton – Lead bass. (Left-most) ABOUT THE ALBUM • The album, there first one, is self titled. It’s most notable for “Dream On”, but the whole album is comprised of 8 songs, some of them outshined by others. Before the making of this album, Aerosmith mostly did gigs at clubs and high schools. But their first album was still seen by the music industry. They came in, and they came in with a good start. MAKE IT • The first track on this album, named “Make It” is a jumpy and just sounds like a hard rock song.

  • Show Review: Steven Tyler at PPAC
    Show Review: Steven Tyler at PPAC Okee dokee folks… I had the chance to get to the Steven Tyler show last Saturday night at the Providence Performing Arts Center. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I’d heard many things about Tyler’s “Out On A Limb” Tour — it was going to be country, unplugged, or music and talking, but I tried to keep an open mind. It had been decades since I’d seen Aerosmith and now just consider myself a casual fan. Back in the ’70s, Aerosmith was one of my favorite bands. I saw them at the Providence Civic Center a few times and once at the (long gone) Leroy Theater in Pawtucket (it’s now a Walgreens). I will never forget the vibration of Aerosmith’s music causing chunks of plaster to fall from the Leroy’s ceiling. Remembering this worried me that PPAC’s gold leaf ceiling might be in peril! Anyway, after one of those ’70s Aerosmith shows I was standing on the sidewalk near the Civic Center and a big limo stopped in front of me and Steven Tyler got out. Evidently he knew the guy who was standing next to me. I didn’t know the guy. Coincidentally I was holding an 8×10 photo of Tyler that I had taken at a previous Aerosmith show. I asked him to autograph it and he replied, “Sure, do you have a pen?” Of course I did not, I was 16 and stupid. He got back into the limo and it drove away.
