  • Popular Music As a Public Relations Resource in Political Campaigns
    Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 6, No.1/2, 2016, pp. 36-49. Audible Optics: Popular Music as a Public Relations Resource in Political Campaigns Michael Warren Tumolo This essay addresses how music is used by political campaigns as a strategic rhetorical tactic that I label audible optics. Audible optics are a variation of political “optics,” which are public relations practices designed to make a client’s cause appear in a positive light without attending to their substantive positions or character. This argument proceeds in two stages. The first section offers a theoretical framework dealing with issues of representation and iconicity that bear upon the explicit use of music by political campaigns. The second section offers a discussion of celebrity politics on stage. Keywords: Celebrity Politics, Iconicity, Lanham Act, Political Campaigns, Popular Music, Public Relations Optics In politics, more than anywhere else, we have no possibility of distinguishing between being and appearance. In the realm of human affairs, being and appearance are indeed one and the same. — Hannah Arendt, On Revolution1 The national political conventions of the Republican and Democratic parties offer a synoptic rep- resentation of contemporary U.S. presidential campaigns. For nearly 30 years, the two major po- litical parties have chosen their party’s candidate for the presidency prior to their national conven- tions. Rather than working to settle intraparty political differences, these political conventions en- gage in the symbolic act of attempting to sway voters, with the campaigns looking for a quantifi- able “bounce” or “bump” among likely voters exposed to television, radio, newspaper, and new media coverage of the campaigns.2 In 2012, U.S.

    Purple Majesty Just before Prince became a EROTIC CITY movie star, ‘Rolling Stone’ took Onstage in a long look inside the life of Chicago, 1984 rock’s most fascinating enigma By Kurt Loder Excerpted from RS 429, August 30th, 1984 rince has come. it is a warm summer morning in the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie, and a black-clad rider on a purple Honda has pulled up to a nondescript modern warehouse on Flying Cloud Drive. A photographer has flown in from Toronto with an assistant to photograph Prince for the cover of this mag- azine. A standard rock-star shoot, he figures, scoping out the con- cert-size rehearsal stage, the costume room, the banks of musical equipment. When Prince walks in, the first thing the photogra- P pher notices is how small he is: He seems slight even in his five-inch stiletto-heel boots. He is wearing a dramatic black hat, a skintight black shirt open to the navel and tight black trousers ringed with ruffles from the knees down. He seems to be saying something: Hi? He speaks so softly that the photographer actually has to lean down to within several inches of his face to hear him. He is making it quietly clear that, while he has agreed to pose for the cover, he will not pose for any photos for the magazine’s inside pages. It is decided to wheel in the purple Honda, a perfect prop. The motorcycle is a central visual ornament of Purple Rain, Prince’s custom-tailored movie debut – a picture with so much prerelease “top spin,” as they say in Hollywood, that the media, anticipating a major sleeper, have been abasing themselves for weeks in the hope of wangling interviews with the recalcitrant star.
