  • Midland and the Barroom Weeper1
    CARLO ROTELLA Boston College Email: [email protected] “I Come in Here So I Don’t Have to Hate Her” Midland and the Barroom Weeper1 Singing a barroom weeper is like writing a haiku about cherry blossoms or a Western about a laconic hero who cleans up a violent town. You’re under significant pressure to nail the obligatory elements of the form but you also have an opportunity to make fresh meanings by rearranging its familiar Lego pieces and taking advantage of a novel con- text. Whether you’re adding a song to the tradition or covering one that’s already in the tradition, you’re walking the line between getting it right and making it new. It’s a ques- tion of how creative you can get while working with, as the guys in Midland put it in their barroom weeper “Drinkin’ Problem,” “Same old folks, same old songs/Same old same old blue neon.” The barroom weeper is a country music warhorse in which a narrator with drink in hand and too many under the belt tells a story of yet another big night out that’s also a tale of woe. Sometimes this narrator is a woman—as in the case of Kitty Wells’s classic answer song “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”—but more typically the narrator is a man and he’s there because of a woman. Especially in the hands of the genre’s greatest exponents, Merle Haggard and George Jones, this lament wearing the mask of a bottoms-up anthem can explore complex psychological states: jaunty pique combined with despair, recrimination with forgiveness, bitter resentment with critical self-examination.

  • Hcs Auction 2018
    Celebrating 100 years of God’s Faithfulness at the HCS AUCTION 2018 SATURDAY, MARCH 3 THE PARTY OF THE CENTURY! Begins at 4:30pm 4:30pm—6:30pm Begins at 6:00pm Welcome to The Party of the Century! We are thrilled to Celebrate 100 Years of God’s Faithfulness with you tonight! Consider this book as your itinerary for the evening, filled with all the details to help you have a wonderful time while supporting HCS! Use the color-coded pages in the book to coordinate with our Silent Auction tables, and the white pages showcase our Live Auction items. If this book came home with your HCS student, please bring it with you to use at the Auction, or return it to school if you are unable to attend so it can be reused. Our theme this year is The Party of the Century, which is honoring HCS’s 100 year celebrations that are happening throughout the school year. HCS’ theme, Telling The Story, is based on Psalm 26:2-3, which says “Lord, examine my heart and my mind; for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.” How wonderful to be able to revel in these words and rejoice in God’s unfailing love for all of us! The contributions raised tonight directly support Christian education at HCS through the Parents’ Club. They distribute these funds to help students with field trip expenses, various uniforms, library funds, teacher wish lists and tuition stabilization. If you have further questions about this fundraiser or would like to help in the future, please connect with any member of the Auction Committee.
