  • Dancing About Architecture : Postmodernism and Irish Popular Music
    Dancing About Architecture : Postmodernism and Irish Popular Music Stephen Ryan 'Writing about music is like dancing about architecture' Elvis Costello Introduction Listening to Bono of U2 in a recent radio interview, I was struck by a comment he made. He was talking about contemporary and past musics, and how the past and the present are tied up with hopes and fears about the future. It was, he argued, a case of the difference between yesterdays tomorrow and todays tomorrow. Yesterday's tomorrow was about a confidence for the future, a belief that progress was more or less inevitable and, for music, that artistic creativity would continue to blossom and produce great works. By contrast, today's tomorrow is characterised by a chronic lack of confidence in the future, a deep-seated questioning of the possibility of further progress, and a resigned belief that absolute musical creativity is no longer possible (if it had ever existed in the first place) simply because all the good music has been written already. This, for me, is crucial to the very idea of postmodern music. However, as Elvis Costello's quote above suggests, any attempt to rationalise, analyse or intellectualise music is bound to fail. By its very nature, music is not readily suited to a written discourse. Added to this is the problem of how different sectors of the music community react to attempts of any academic approach to popular music is bound to come up against some resistance. This resistance tends to take two forms: one that comes from the music industry itself and one from academia.

  • The Global Retirement Crisis Launches Us on a Tour of One of the Most Important Challenges of Our Time
    th e global r global aging and the United States etirement crisis etirement The aging of the world’s population will strain the capacity of societies to care for the old without sacrificing the living standards of the young. In the developed world, where workers typically support retirees through “pay-as-you-go” retirement systems, the rising cost of pensions and health benefits threatens fiscal and economic stability. Yet even in the developing world, where the old typically live with the young, falling birthrates and growing The Threat to World Stability and What to Do About It to World The Threat life spans are combining with industrialization and urbanization to create new stresses. Almost everywhere, countries will have to race against time to ensure their social fabric against the “shock” of global aging. The United States is better positioned to confront the challenge than most of the world’s major economies. It is now the youngest of the developed countries—and its relatively high rates of fertility and immigration are likely to keep it so. By 2050, the elderly share of the population will reach 27 percent in France, 31 percent in Germany, and 36 percent in Japan. In the United States, it will only reach 21 percent. Along with its younger population, the United States has a relatively inexpensive Social Security system, relatively high retirement ages, and a large and innovative private pension system. A larger share of the elderly and near-elderly work in the United States than in any major developed country except Japan. As of 1999, US pension plans possessed an astonishing 59 percent of total pension assets worldwide.
