For the published version go here – https://academic.oup.com/mq/article-abstract/95/2- 3/368/1009964?redirectedFrom=fulltext The text includes lyrics from Kid Charlemagne Words and Music by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen Copyright © 1976 UNIVERSAL MUSIC CORP. Copyright Renewed. All Rights Reserved. Used by Permission. Narrative, Interpretation and the Popular Song The value of narratives in human understanding of the world is widely recognized. The importance of narrative is apparent in varieties of everyday storytelling as well is in written fiction, drama, spectacle and ritual, visual art and film, architecture, legal proceedings, scientific reports and political theory, to provide a only partial list indicative of the range. Yet, the popular song - one of the most pervasive narrative forms that people encounter in their daily lives - has been almost entirely ignored in the vast literature on narrative.1 Whilst narratological methods have often featured in the interpretation of western art music2 and film music3, and although literary approaches to lyrics have sometimes emphasized a poetics of storytelling4, theories of narrative have rarely been foregrounded in the study of popular songs.5 In this article I will focus on narrative to explore practices of interpretation in both scholarship and everyday discussion about popular songs. I will emphasize the intersubjective interpretation of song meanings and advocate an “intercontextual” approach to the understanding of song narratives, drawing from research which emphasizes how our knowledge of the world is cumulative and always in a process of becoming through time.

Among its frequent contributors were such writers as Julius Lester, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Malvina Reyn­ olds, Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. Although many of the contributors were unknown at the time outside of a small circle of friends, their songs were published because of the inherent good qualities of the music. Broadside was a vital element in the development of these artists, providing them with an outlet for their music and with a forum for the exchange of ideas. In recent years the publication had declined to an annual. However, with the cooperation and approval of Sis and Gordon, the magazine is being resuscitated. The announcement that Broadside was returning-as a 20-page month­ ly-was greeted with great enthusiasm by those who were familiar with its past, and subscriptions and words of support have been received from such diverse corners and Brooklyn, Tokyo, Co­ penhagen, San Mateo, Far Rockaway, Monsey and Greenwich Village.

    Stay Restless my friends Reckless Kelly How Can You Love Him with Reckless Kelly You Don't Even Like Him No Big Deal Hey Kiddos; CONTENTS — A long time ago I was the Americana Editor at the now defunct trade magazine Gavin. One day a lunch Charts with Robert Earl Keen was scheduled so he could introduce me to Reckless Kelly. First a word about REK. He is a force of nature. I feel so many of the artists coming up today have looked to Robert for inspiration. That he still ventures into new territory, as he did with his most recent release “Happy Prisoner: The Bluegrass Sessions”, tells you he is still restless, still exploring. Beyond that is his commitment to the scene. I used to love his Texas Uprising concert series, as it would turn me on to new music with his bookings. At this particular lunch in Nashville, he made me promise I would help Reckless Kelly. By the way, there is a new Robert Earl Keen album in the pipeline, which you will see next month.
