  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism
    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

    Vietnam War Protest Song Analysis Suggested Grades 6-12 Overview Creativity was an important asset to protesting the Vietnam War. Many popular musicians of the 1960s and 1970s wrote and performed songs in order to express opposition to the violence in Vietnam. These songs are still played today, which serves as a reminder of the power of music. Objective Learn about the antiwar movement, discuss the reasons for opposing the war in Vietnam and reflect. Time needed About thirty minutes: fifteen to discuss the antiwar movement, five minutes to listen to the song, and ten minutes for reflection and discussion. Materials needed: A computer with speakers Handouts of song lyrics A piece of paper Instructions 1. Give a summary of the antiwar movement to the students and be sure to include examples of why the individuals chose to protest. 2. Hand out a copy of the lyrics of the chosen Vietnam protest song. 3. Aloud, play the song for the students and give some time after the song is finished for the students to write a reflection of the song. 4. Together, have the class discuss the reason why the musician might have written the song as well as different examples and issues brought up in the antiwar movement that they heard in the song. Examples: What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye Give Peace a Chance – John Lennon Fortunate Son – Creedence Clearwater Revival Alice’s Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie (son of Woody Guthrie) More examples: https://www.thoughtco.com/anti-war-protest-songs-of-the-60s- and-70s-748278 Questions 1.

  • Interview with ARLO GUTHRIE Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on March 25, 2021
    The following interview with ARLO GUTHRIE was conducted by the Library of Congress on March 25, 2021 Library of Congress: Without having to go line by line through the lyrics, how much of the Song, “Alice’s Restaurant,” is true-to-life and how much did you take creative license with? Arlo Guthrie: The 8x10 photos weren’t in color. They were black and white. The rest is accurately true. LOC: How long did the song, originally, take to write--was there a stream of consciousness method to it? AG: It was essentially not written, but memorized from ongoing performances. I’d keep the lines and nuances that worked well, and discarded the lines that fell flat. With that in mind, it took about a year to complete. LOC: I read that the album version of “Alice” was recorded in the studio but with a live audience—is this true? If so, why did you choose to record it in that manner? And who were the audience members? AG: The studio recording had a live audience. They were invited by my manager, Harold Leventhal and my producer, Fred Hellerman. It really wasn’t a good idea, as all of the audience Participants were already well aware of the song, and unlike an audience of new victims, the ones familiar with the song did not respond as well. Laughter was added to the live audience later. LOC: At just over 18 minutes in length, did you ever think that “Alice” might have a commercial viability or was that just not part of your thinking at the time? AG: I never expected or even thought about commercial viability, as commercial in those days conveyed a “selling out” of purpose.

  • Taken by an Unknown 17-Year-Old Photography Student – Published Posthumously for the First Time in a New Limited Edition Publication, Woodstock Experience
    UNSEEN ARCHIVE OF WOODSTOCK IMAGES UNEARTHED Taken by an unknown 17-year-old photography student – published posthumously for the first time in a new limited edition publication, Woodstock Experience. London August 2009: A forgotten archive of photographs, taken at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair 40 years ago has been unearthed by UK-based limited edition publishers Genesis Publications. Taken by 17-year-old high school student Dan Garson, the archive has spent the last four decades in a basement, stored in a cardboard box. As well as images of the mud, rain, trampled fences, drugs, skinny dippers and eccentric festival goers that have made Woodstock so iconic, the archive features previously unseen shots of Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Ravi Shankar, Arlo Guthrie and The Band in performance. Rona Elliot, the former entertainment correspondent for NBC!s Today Show, worked at Woodstock as a community relations officer and helped track down Dan Garson!s archive and researched his story. RONA ELLIOT: Dan!s remarkable photographs reveal an exceptional talent, fully formed at 17 years of age. His pictures provide a cohesive narrative of his own Woodstock experience. They demonstrate that he understood, perfectly, both where he was at that moment in time, and the culturally shifting spectacle he was recording. While Dan worked in the photo pit, shooting the musicians onstage, he separated himself from the other photographers. Rather than huddle together with the group, Dan stationed himself adjacent to the film crew. As a result, his images are both unfamiliar and fresh to the eye nearly 40 years after they were taken.

  • How Greta Thunberg's Lone Strike Against Climate Change Became A
    Subscribe HOME POLITICS POLITICS FEATURES MARCH 5, 2019 9:42AM ET How Greta Thunberg’s Lone Strike Against Climate Change Became a Global Movement The 16-year-old Swedish activist’s #FridaysForFuture protests have galvanized young people around the world By KATE ARONOFF Greta Thunberg at a nature reserve outside Stockholm in January Photograph by Anna Tärnhuvud At the end of a record-hot summer in Sweden last August, then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg decided she would not be going back to school. Frustrated by the lack of attention paid to the existential threat of global warming — not least by politicians campaigning for upcoming elections — she set up outside the Swedish parliament with a water bottle, her rucksack filled with books and snacks and a homemade sign announcing her “School Strike for Climate.” “I tried to bring people along to join me,” she says — she’d been inspired by the Parkland, Florida, students who walked out of class to protest gun violence — “but no one was really interested, and so I had to do it by myself.” ADVERTISEMENT Thunberg wasn’t alone for long. By the end of the first week, her strike had drawn coverage from Sweden’s biggest newspapers. As reporters flocked and she handed out fliers bearing the message “You grownups don’t give a shit about my future,” supporters dropped by to join the homespun protest on their lunch breaks. After three weeks of missed classes, Thunberg finally went back to school — mostly. She still strikes every Friday. Now she’s become the unexpected founder of an international youth movement.

    Arlo Guthrie – Alice's Restaurant Song Lyrics [CHORUS:] You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant Walk right in, it's around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant [RECITATION:] This song is called "Alice's Restaurant." It's about Alice, and the Restaurant, but "Alice's Restaurant" is not the name of the restaurant, That's just the name of the song. That's why I call the song "Alice's Restaurant." Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago... two years ago, on Thanksgiving, When my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the restaurant. But Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the church nearby the Restaurant, in the bell tower with her husband Ray and Facha, the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of room downstairs Where the pews used to be, and havin' all that room (seein' as how they took Out all the pews), they decided that they didn't have to take out their Garbage for a long time. We got up here and found all the garbage in there and we decided that it'd Be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. So we took the half-a-ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW Microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction, and headed On toward the city dump.
