The Last Black Man in San Francisco
THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO 4 .11. 18 Screenplay by Story by Joe Talbot & Rob Richert Joe Talbot & Jimmie Fails 1 EXT. HP SHIPYARDS / HP BUS STOP - SUNRISE An eight-year-old African-American girl with knockers in her hair stands on a desolate sidewalk behind yellow caution tape. She licks a candy and gazes upwards – spellbound. A man in a hazmat suit glides along the pavement, Darth Vader breaths heaving from his space-mask. He loads pieces of trash and plants into hazardous waste bags. In the distance, more men in hazmats crawl along a decaying dock, collecting various items. The little girl breaks her gaze and begins down the street, running her hand along the caution tape. A voice appears. PREACHER (O.S.) Why they got suits on and we don't? Something is going on right in front of our face. But you stuck on your i-phone, j-phone 12, whatever. Blow up in your hand! You cant Google whats goin’ on right now. They lucky I’m a man of god now. Or I’d suicide bomb this mother-. Tracking with her, we land on a black man in his Sunday best. He stands on a box, shouting at nobody in particular. PREACHER Are ya’ll paying attention? Why do they have suits on and we don’t?... Why?!?! Listen to me man! An old lady drives by and honks supportively at the Preacher. He waves without breaking focus. PREACHER They here to clean this water? Man, this water been funky as the devils mouth for fifty years and now they wanna clean it up?!?!… Not for you and me, no sir! They got plans for us. -

CA: How did you end up in the music business? MS: I worked as a CPA in New York for a big accounting firm. Back in that day with those jobs, you hoped one of your clients would hire you. I had a friend who worked on the acquisition of Island Records by Polygram, went there and basically had a job for me. I was 26 years old, got a $3,000 raise and I could wear jeans to work. I came home and said, “I think I want to do this.” I wasn’t a musician and didn’t want to be in the music business, necessarily. But I went to work for Matt Signore Island and ultimately Island/Def Jam on the business side. How did you meet Espo?

THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years. -
Robert Deaton
November 21, 2011 Issue 270 Inside The Awards: Robert Deaton Just shy of two weeks since the 45th Annual CMA Awards, Country Aircheck spoke with Executive Producer Robert Deaton for his thoughts on the telecast, how it all came together and several of its memorable moments. CA: You’ve had some time to process the show and maybe decompress. What are your Robert Deaton thoughts in hindsight? RD: A lot of credit needs to be passed around because there are so many people – starting with the artists – who make it happen, but I feel like this was our best effort. Going into the show, what I really wanted to do was not compromise at all with Pub Scouts: EMI Nashville’s Eric Church buddies up with the backstage crowd at last week’s Chief Deconstructed show at Joe’s Pub in Chicago. Pictured (l-r) are any of the performances. I wanted each one to put the artist in the label’s Chuck Swaney and Angela Lange, Church, and WUSN’s Marci Braun, the best possible position. We started working about a month and Lisa Dent and Liz Geerling. a half earlier than we normally do to make each performance’s It is a sensitive issue but, again, I think it goes back to the writing. visuals as good as the music. We wanted every one to stand out, If I had said, “We’re going to do something with Hank,” they and that’s hard to do over three hours, but we really stepped up probably would have said, “Hold on a second,” and rightly so. -

Top Performers
BLAKE, MAREN, FGL, LUKE COMBS LEAD 2017 AIRPLAY an life get much better for Blake Shelton? He anchors one of TV’s top shows, headlines concert dates, has a No. 1 album, and is now the 2017 Country radio airplay leader. CShelton’s 2017 airplay totals propel him to both the top Overall Performer and Top Male spots, driven by a pair of songs – “A Guy With A Girl” and “Every Time I Hear That Song” – that spent three weeks at No. 1. A third single – “I’ll Name The Dogs” – was in the Top 5 as 2017 came to a close. Adding to Shelton’s totals were four cuts from his new album Texoma Shore that charted the week of its release, though he would have topped airplay even without the points generated by those cuts. THEYEAR Florida Georgia Line’s trio of 2017 hits extend Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley’s dominance in INMUSIC the Duo/Group Performer category to fi ve years. They’re also the only non-solo male artist to make this year’s Top 10 Overall airplay performers. The Blake Shelton meteoric rise of Maren Morris continued in 2017. Airplay from “80s Mercedes” and “I Could Use A Love Song” vaulted her to the most-heard female artist of the year. Adding to her Country radio presence this year was a featured performance on the No. 1 single “Craving You” with Thomas Rhett. (Airplay points for that song are not included in Morris’ totals.) This year’s Top New Artist title goes to Luke Combs. -

It is 92 books in-a-row at No. 1 – a point of pride [over] a lot of years and attention to details.” Hagy notes every daypart and demo stays stable year-in and year-out except for the 18-34 cell he describes as “more of a yoyo.” He adds, “That demo came back very strong this Spring, more than a 10-point jump to 32 shares.” The annual spring NASCAR race landed at the beginning of the book and “generates a lot of enthusiasm” in the market. Numbers have remained strong in mornings for host Steve Stroud since Mark Andrews Dragon Around: MCA’s Sam Hunt and friends at the University of Alabama Birmingham. Pictured (l-r) are Country Aircheck’s Bill Hagy left in October. “We’ve talked to a number Paul Williams, Hunt, ESPN’s Marty Smith and Red Light’s of applicants but haven’t found the right Chuck Swaney. partner,” says Hagy, who spends one day a week at the station – usually a 10- to 12-hour marathon – since his “retirement” after 50 years at the helm (CAT 3/4/15). Sam Hunt Goes Long KCLR/Columbia, MO: A heritage airstaff MCA’s Sam Hunt returned to the University of Alabama that has “made an emotional connection with Birmingham, where he played quarterback, to celebrate the re- the audience” is one of the keys for Zimmer’s launch of the school’s football program after a two-year hiatus. -
