    Updated: 18 April 2021 ~ 0 ~ z FORWARD This work has been assembled by me from many sources including some related to me verbally. As it says on the cover, they can be tales or myths or legends and possibly sometimes of dubious validity. This has been put together less as a history lesson in some cases, and more as a celebration of what small town life was and still is to some degree. I have decided to not use real names in a few circumstances for various reasons. I don’t consider this a work of fiction for the most part, nor of total fact in a few cases. It was collected mainly for the enjoyment of any former or present Paw Paw resident, or anyone else with ties to the community. Several people have been instrumental in helping this work get into print. The Paw Paw District Library, the Harry Bush family, and most of all Dan Smith, PPHS-63 who has placed it on his pawpawwappaw.com website, and has really spent a lot of time finding candidates for the book, and pictures of them. He also has done a lot to make this work look professional. Thanks to all.

  • Parody As a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015

    Parody as a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by John P. Thomerson BM, State University of New York at Fredonia, 2008 MM, University of Louisville, 2010 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT Parody is the most commonly used structural borrowing technique in contemporary American vernacular music. This study investigates parody as a borrowing practice, as a type of humor, as an expression of ethnic identity, and as a response to intellectual trends during the final portion of the twentieth century. This interdisciplinary study blends musicology with humor studies, ethnic studies, and intellectual history, touching on issues ranging from reception history to musical meaning and cultural memory. As a structural borrowing technique, parody often creates incongruity—whether lyrical, stylistic, thematic, evocative, aesthetic, or functional—within a recognized musical style. Parodists combine these musical incongruities with other comic techniques and social conventions to create humor. Parodists also rely on pre-existing music to create, reinforce, and police ethnic boundaries, which function within a racialized discourse through which parodists often negotiate ethnic identities along a white-black binary. Despite parody’s ubiquity in vernacular music and notwithstanding the genre’s resonance with several key themes from the age of fracture, cultivated musicians have generally parody. The genre’s structural borrowing technique limited the identities musicians could perform through parodic borrowings. This study suggests several areas of musicological inquiry that could be enriched through engagement with parody, a genre that offers a vast and largely unexplored repertoire indicating how musical, racial, and cultural ideas can circulate in popular discourse.

    Soteriology of Beauty and the Beast and the Hunchback of Notre Dame Soteriology of Beauty and the Beast and the Hunchback of Notre Dame

    Soteriology of Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame Soteriology of Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame Aaron Selby Abstract Popular culture is prevalent in the ability of citizens to conceptualize complex issues and sit- uations within society. Several religious scholars, including John Lyden, propose that elements of popular culture relate to and interact with sociopolitical anomalies in a way that mirrors and mobilizes patterns of religion. As such, these scholars conclude that certain popular culture phenomena act as a kind of religion in and of themselves. Drawing from the work of several such scholars and the concept of soteriology in narrative, I analyze the similarities between two Disney animated films, Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame and their overall interaction with the sociopolitical landscape of the 1990s. Both Beauty and Hunchback provide a lens of commentary, criticism, and guidance in light of the now infamous events that took place during President Bill Clinton’s administration. Middle Tennessee State University 35 Scientia et Humanitas: A Journal of Student Research Disney and Theories of Salvation Among the four canonical gospels of the Christian scriptures, the Gospel of Saint John is unique as it seems oddly numinous regarding content. Furthermore, John 3:161 has become one of the most important, influential, and important scriptures in modern day Christendom. This text—which tells us that “God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life”—would seem to suggest that the crucifixion of Jesus was a freely given act of love to save all people and bring them back to the love of God.

    “Happ'ly-Ever-Aftering”: Changing Social And

    “HAPP’LY-EVER-AFTERING”: CHANGING SOCIAL AND INDUSTRY CONVENTIONS IN HOLLYWOOD MUSICAL ADAPTATIONS, 1960-75 BY MEGAN BOLANDER WOLLER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology with a concentration in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Gayle Sherwood Magee, Chair Professor Jeffrey Magee Associate Professor Christina Bashford Associate Professor Anustup Basu ABSTRACT This dissertation explores seven Hollywood adaptations of Broadway musicals from the 1960s and early seventies. Though generally considered beyond the “Golden Age” of film, this period produced some of the most enduring and well-loved film musicals of any decade. Furthermore, they can all be seen as products of their time. The 1960s were a highly volatile time in American history as well as within the film industry. Socio-cultural and political factors, such as the Cold War, feminism, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the sexual revolution, and the gay rights movement, all impacted American society and popular culture. Furthermore, the studio system continued to break down and with it the Hollywood Production Code. Towards the end of the decade, the so-called New Hollywood filmmakers introduced new ways of American filmmaking. Through seven case studies – West Side Story (1961), The Music Man (1962), Bye Bye Birdie (1963), The Sound of Music (1965), Camelot (1967), Paint Your Wagon (1969), and Cabaret (1972) – I place film adaptations of musicals in their socio-political and film industry situation by analyzing the changes made in the translation from stage to screen, delving into the possible reasons for the alterations.
