Key words: Loretta Lynn, Van Leer Rose, Country Music, Content Analysis, Textual Analysis This is a peer- reviewed essay. Abstract The release of Loretta Lynn‟s 2004 album Van Leer Rose welcomed back after 33 years one of the premier feminist voices in recorded music. The songs that Loretta wrote in 60s and early 70s were some of the most controversial and politically charged to hit the airwaves. They encompassed a microcosm of issues that rural women were facing including the changing sexual roles of women, ideas on marriage, the ravages of war and substance abuse.

A teacher named Ezra read the law from the time the sun came up in the morning until the sun was high in the sky. Men, women, and children stood and listened to God’s words. While Ezra read God’s words, other teachers helped people understand them. When the people heard God’s words, they knew they had not obeyed God, and they began to cry. Ezra and Nehemiah told the people not to be sad. “Go eat sweet food and share with your neighbors. Be happy! God makes us strong.” The people went home happy because they understood God’s words. Nehemiah led the people to turn back to God. They promised to worship only God and obey His rules.

  • Axis-Parents-Guide-To-Drake.Pdf
    Drake “Drake is an interpreter, in other words, of the people he is trying to reach—an artist who can write lyrics that wide swaths of listeners will want to take ownership of and hooks that we will all want to sing to ourselves as we walk down the street. —Leon Neyfakh, “Peak Drake,” The FADER Does Drake have you in your feelings about how much your kids are listening to him? John Lennon famously said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus, but Aubrey Graham, aka Drake aka Drizzy, is now the best-selling solo male artist of all time. He has surpassed Elvis and Eminem, with over $218,000,000 in total record sales. Not only that, he was Billboard’s 2018 Top Artist and Spotify’s most-streamed artist, track, and album of 2018. Described by one writer as having “the Midas touch when it comes to making hits and singles,” it seems as though everything Drake does is successful. He appeals to those who like “harder” rap, but still excites a One Direction level of infatuation in young girls. Other rappers can take shots at his son and his parents [warning: strong language] without doing real damage to his career. He’s able to transform up-and-coming artists into superstars just by featuring them on his albums or being featured on theirs. With all of his influence on both his fans and the culture at large, it’s important to understand who Drake is, what he stands for, and what he’s teaching, both explicitly and implicitly, the people who listen to him.

BODIES IN THE MARGINS Refiguring the Rebetika as Literature Sophia Schlesinger Faculty Advisor: Andrea Kaston-Tange Macalester English Department Submitted April 25th, 2020 Abstract This thesis engages a literary analysis of a corpus of songs and recordings known as the rebetika (sing. rebetiko), which prospered in the port districts of major cities throughout the Aegean in the early 20th century. Engaging the rebetika as literary texts, I argue, helps us understand how they have functioned as a kind of pressure point on the borders between nation and Other. Without making unproveable biographical claims about the motives of the music progenitors, I examine why so many have reached for the rebetika as texts with which to articulate various political and cultural desires. Using a multidisciplinary theoretical framework that includes Elaine Scarry, Stuart Hall, Edward Said, Mark C.
