    Journal of the Music & Entertainment Industry Educators Association Volume 12, Number 1 (2012) Bruce Ronkin, Editor Northeastern University Published with Support from The 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival Recording Contract and How it Shaped the Future of the Group and its Members Hank Bordowitz Bordowitz Media Werx Bergen Community College By 1969, the record business had been around in some way, shape, or form for nearly eighty years. For an octogenarian, it had never been healthier. A study commissioned by John Wiley of Columbia Records said that the business had grown 250 percent in the decade between 1955 and 1965. It predicted the record business would double in size again within the next decade. “The end of the upward trend is not yet in sight,” added Wiley. “Our future has never held more promise” (Rood 1965). With the passing of rock and roll into just rock, the day of the mu- sic business robber barons had begun to fade. The previous decade saw musicians with massive hit records living in poverty, contracted to virtual slavery as recording artists. As Etta James once said, “I…started my show business life living in a private hotel where you could cook. Other entertainers were there, like Curtis Mayfield. Ev- erybody lived in this one hotel. I was the one who had the kitchen. We used to put all our money together to eat. At that time, we would get two cents, three cents, five cents for bottles and at the end of the day we would get our money together and we’d get some food and cook it.

  • California Teachers Association Advocate for Students and Public Education
    HONOREE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION The California Teachers Association is the state’s larg- est professional employee union, representing more than 325,000 public school teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers, librarians, nurses and education support professionals, among others. It has become one of the nation’s strongest advocates for students and educators, and is also a leading proponent of civil rights and economic equality. CTA has been a strong supporter of living wage policies, including LAANE’s 2008 LAX hotel living wage law. CTA has won many landmark victories in its 150-year his- tory, from legislation providing free public schools and free textbooks for all of California’s children to laws banning child labor in the state. In the 1940s, the union was one of a handful of organizations to protest the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. CTA led the critical campaign in 1988 to pass Prop. 98, the law guaranteeing minimum funding for K-12 schools and community colleges. Educators joined with parents in passing legislation to reduce class sizes in our earliest grades and led campaign efforts to pass more than $30 billion to build new schools and repair rundown facilities. CTA also played a pivotal role in defeating Gov. Schwarzeneg- ger’s 2005 ballot initiatives that would have cut school funding, undermined the due-process rights of educators and silenced the voices of public employees. Last year, CTA led the fight to pass Gov. Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which stopped $6 billion in education cuts to schools and colleges and will generate $47 billion for public schools, colleges and other essential services over the next seven years.

    Not Just a Fantasy: Fantasy Studios Jul 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Barbara Schultz LEGENDARY STUDIO IS BACK FROM THE BRINK Fantasy Studios’ grand Studio A is equipped with an SSL 8056 G+ console, Pro Tools HD3 and Augspurger custom mains. Photo: Steve Maruta In the San Francisco Bay Area studio scene and beyond, Fantasy Studios (www.fantasystudios.com) and the Fantasy Records label are the stuff of legend. The facility has been situated in West Berkeley for more than three decades — part of an indie media mini-empire once owned by filmmaker Saul Zaentz. The studio most famously hosted recordings by the Fantasy label's biggest act, Creedence Clearwater Revival, as well as other national acts, including Santana and Green Day. Because the facility changed hands a couple of times in recent years, you may have heard through the grapevine that Fantasy Studios was going to close last year, or this year… There was more than a grain of truth to those rumors. The studios, label and back catalog were taken over by Concord Records a few years ago, with Concord renting space in the building Zaentz still owned, but then Zaentz sold the building itself to a real estate developer, Wareham Development. When Concord's long-term lease on the building expired at the end of 2007, the label's management decided to move the label and catalog south to Concord's Beverly Hills headquarters and dismissed all of the Fantasy Studios staff. Longtime studio manager Nina Bombardier began making plans for a new life outside the music business, and all of her employees assumed the studios would close.
