    Page 1 Rock Music and Representation: The Roles of Rock Culture AMS 311s // Unique No. 31080 Spring 2020 BUR 436A: M/W/F 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Instructor: Kate Grover // [email protected] // pronouns: she, her, hers Office Hours: BUR 408 // Monday & Wednesday, 1 pm – 2:30 pm, or by appointment Course Description What is a guitar god? Who gets to be one, and why? What are the “roles” of rock music and culture? What is rock, anyway? This is not your average rock history course. Instead, this course positions 20th and 21st century American rock music and culture as a crucial site for ongoing struggles over identity, belonging, and power. We will explore how race, class, gender, sexuality, age, and ability have shaped how various groups of people engage with rock and what insights these engagements provide about “the American experience” over time. How do rock artists, critics, filmmakers, and fans represent themselves and others? What do these representational strategies reveal about inclusion and exclusion in rock culture, and in American society at large? While examining rock’s players, we will also consider the roles of different rock media and institutions such as MTV, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Rolling Stone magazine. As such, our course is divided into three units exploring different areas of representation within rock music and culture. Unit 1: Performing Rock, Performing Identity, provides an introduction to studying rock’s sounds, visuals, and texts by investigating various issues of identity within rock music and culture. Unit 2: Evaluating Rock: Writers, Critics, and Other Commentators focuses on the roles of rock critics and the stakes of writing about music.

    IDENTITY & ADVERSITY PLAYLIST by Heather Campbell As the universal language, music has the ability to inspire us, ignite creativity, provide us with comfort during trying moments, and teach us that we are not alone in this world. For teens, music is often an outlet through which they can express themselves, where lyrics convey emotions and experiences they may be unable to otherwise articulate. The following list is a collection of songs and albums addressing various themes of identity and adversity, along with songs that contain uplifting messages of hope and perseverance for teens facing difficult times.

  • 2017 AETC Community Support Award Altus Trophy
    2017 AETC Community Support Award Altus Trophy Celebrating over 75 Years of Teamwork Enid High School hosted military appreciation night during a football game between the Enid Plainsmen and Stillwater High School. Colonel Lee G. Gentile, Jr. had the honors for coin toss ceremony before Enid high school football game. Col. Gentile used his “challenge coin” during the “Friday Night Lights” community event. Table of Contents 1. Executive Summary 2. Letters of Endorsement 3. Community Description 4. Military Affairs/Armed Services 5. Supporting supplementary materials Page intentionally left blank Executive Summary The relationship between Enid, Oklahoma and Vance Air Force Base is one that is unrivaled by any other. The bond between the base and city has only strengthened through the years and stands now as a benchmark of support to our nation’s men and women for other communities to follow. It is through the unending selflessness exhibited by the citizens of Enid that Vance AFB is able to succeed in its mission of developing professional Airmen, delivering world-class pilots and deploying combat ready warriors. Beginning in the early days of World War II when US Army sentries were charged with securing the new base with empty rifles, it was the Enid Police Department that loaned them bullets until supplies arrived. The faithful support continued through the wars of Korea, Vietnam, the Global War on Terror and every other conflict of the 21st century. As an overwhelming show of support, in 1995 nearly 12,000 Enid citizens gathered outside the base to show their appreciation and dedication to the role it plays in our community.

  • Popular Music and Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgender People: an Annotated Bibliography and Discography
    Page 1 of 35 Popular Music and Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgender People: An Annotated Bibliography and Discography. Compiled by Walt “Cat” Walker. Approved by the GLBTRT Resources Committee. Last revised January 12, 2017. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 2 I. General Nonfiction 3 II. Memoirs & Biographies 9 III. Fiction 32 IV. Drama 33 V. Children & Teens 34 VI. DVDs 35 Page 2 of 35 Introduction Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people have always participated in creating popular music. In recent years, the visibility of LGBTQ people in the music world has increased, and more popular music has been created that openly describes the LGBTQ experience. There has also been an increase in books and films related to LGBTQ visibility in popular music, both in fiction and nonfiction. This bibliography includes resources about gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender persons involved in the popular music field. The books have all been published in print, and many of them may also be found as e-books. Separate sections contain memoirs, novels, plays, and children’s and teen books. Several LGBT popular music-related DVDs are also listed. Each book and DVD has a link to the OCLC WorldCat record (when available) where you can see which libraries hold the item. Most of this resource is comprised of a discography of popular music recordings by LGBTQ artists. It is not meant to be complete, but many recordings still available in CD format for each artist are listed, and several are annotated. Many of these performers’ songs can now also be found on streaming music services and online digital music websites.
