1 AXE 3: Art Et Pouvoir REBEL, REBEL FEED 2

AXE 3: Art et Pouvoir REBEL, REBEL FEED 2: Punk, pop and counterculture How new was the new wave of 76-77? Mission 1: Paul McCartney Watch the video on the blog and read the script. What is Paul saying? How do “regular people” feel about “weirdos” (= les gens bizarres) according to McCartney. Why is that? Paul McCartney would like people who do not understand “weird”, eccentric people not to Judge them, but to perhaps see in them what they are not brave enough to do themselves. Paul McCartney explains that no one should despise (or look down on) “weird people” or look at them with “anger” Just because they don’t understand what they are about and because “weirdos” date to do what they feel too insecure to do. He believes being who you really are, doing what you really want to do is a basic freedom everyone desires. Mission 2: David Bowie Watch the video on the blog and read the script. a. Why did David Bowie come across as “different” to the public? Pick out adJectives and expressions. He pushed the boundaries, he looked strange, he looked like a creature from outer space fallen to earth. He was “an alien in a dress.” b. What made David Bowie’s Ziggy so successful? Why did he leave such a big impact on young people? The attitude, gender-bending (= l’androgynie) as performance, his androgynous persona (= un personage) made young people dream of another world, where one could wear and be anything they wanted. In the video, he claims to be satisfied if he has helped (in any way, shape or form) people think “outside the box” in which they had been conditioned to think. CONCLUDE: Would you say Bowie and McCartney had the same goal? Did their actions or words change things? Bowie created new characters, and he “was” whoever he wanted to be. McCartney refused to judge a book by its cover (=il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences), and people by the way they looked, proving that the resentment (rancoeur, rancune) towards someone else is often a sign of frustration that one was not brave enough to dare changing. Both did change a lot, not only musically. The Beatles made rock music grow into a true form of art, and Bowie is one of the most important artists of the twentieth century – countless bands regularly cite these two, whose music is tantamount (=qui équivaut à) to genius, as major influences. Although Bowie and McCartney are now well accepted as respected musicians, they both had to assert their difference (revendiquer) and express their uniqueness (= unicité). 1 .

Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

The Cinematic Worlds of Michael Jackson
MA 330.004 / MA430.005 /AMST 341.002 Fall 2016 Revised: 10-7-16 The Cinematic Worlds of Michael Jackson Course Description: From his early years as a child star on the Chitlin’ Circuit and at Motown Records, through the concert rehearsal documentary This is It (released shortly after his death in 2009), Michael Jackson left a rich legacy of recorded music, televised performances, and short films (a description he preferred to “music video”). In this course we’ll look at Jackson’s artistic work as key to his vast influence on popular culture over the past 50 years. While we will emphasize the short films he starred in (of which Thriller is perhaps the most famous), we will also listen to his music, view his concert footage and TV appearances (including some rare interviews) and explore the few feature films in which he appeared as an actor/singer/dancer (The Wiz, Moonwalker). We’ll read from a growing body of scholarly writing on Jackson’s cultural significance, noting the ways he drew from a very diverse performance and musical traditions—including minstrelsy, the work of dance/choreography pioneers like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, and soul/funk legends like James Brown and Jackie Wilson—to craft a style uniquely his own. Crucially, we will ask how Jackson’s shifting public persona destabilize categories of gender, sexuality, and race----in a manner that was very different from his contemporaries: notably, the recently-deceased David Bowie and Prince. Elevated to superstardom and then made an object of the voracious cultural appetite for scandal, Michael Jackson is now increasingly regarded as a singularly influential figure in the history of popular music and culture.

Tribute to David Bowie
Tribute to David Bowie By Jennifer Sage The world lost a magical, mystical, playful, brilliant artist on Sunday, January 10, 2016. I woke to the sad news and immediately found myself purchasing many of his songs that I didn’t already own. David Bowie was a big part of my youth. When I was a freshman in high school, I embroidered rock-and-roll artists’ names on my jeans (yeah, that was a thing back then). David Bowie had a coveted spot on my right knee. It was 1976, and the Bump was the big dance craze at the time. Bowie’s hit song “Fame,” filled with soul, was a perfect song for the Bump. To this day, I can’t hear that song without my mind going back to Saint Augustine High School dances in San Diego. All of the songs in my playlist were performed by David Bowie except one, “Lust for Life,” but he co-wrote it with Iggy Pop. The only other time I have done a profile tribute to a band or artist using solely their music was with REM, and that was to celebrate their retirement, not a death. Even after we lost such great artists as Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston, I could only bring myself to play a handful of their songs. There are many covers, remixes, and mashups of David Bowie songs that you could incorporate in your tribute playlist, as well as duets and other artists of his era, so you don’t have to play just Bowie songs. But before you dismiss the idea, remember that David Bowie’s art not only spanned decades, he also spanned many genres and styles.

David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text 1 David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text Jean Du Verger “The Word is devided into units which be all in one piece and should be so taken, but the pieces can be had in any order being tied up back and forth, in and out fore and aft like an innaresting sex arrangement. This book spill off the page in all directions, kaleidoscope of vistas, medley of tunes and street noises […]” William Burroughs, The Naked Lunch, 1959. Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.

ENG 350 Summer11
ENG 350: THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP With your host, Dr. Russell A. Potter, a.k.a. Professa RAp Mondays and Wednesdays, 6:00-9:00, Craig-Lee 252 http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ In its rise to the top of the American popular music scene, Hip-hop has taken on all comers, and issued beatdown after beatdown. Yet how many of its fans today know the origins of the music? Sure, people might have heard something of Afrika Bambaataa or Grandmaster Flash, but how about the Last Poets or Grandmaster CAZ? For this class, we’ve booked a ride on the wayback machine which will take us all the way back to Hip-hop’s precursors, including the Blues, Calypso, Ska, and West African griots. From there, we’ll trace its roots and routes through the ‘parties in the park’ in the late 1970’s, the emergence of political Hip-hop with Public Enemy and KRS-One, the turn towards “gangsta” style in the 1990’s, and on into the current pantheon of rappers. Along the way, we’ll take a closer look at the essential elements of Hip-hop culture, including Breaking (breakdancing), Writing (graffiti), and Rapping, with a special look at the past and future of turntablism and digital sampling. Our one required textbook, Bradley and DuBois’s Anthology of Rap (Yale University Press) is AVAILABLE AT THE OFF-CAMPUS BOOKSTORE ON SMITH ST. Films shown in part or in whole will include Bamboozled, Style Wars, The Freshest Kids: A History of the B-Boy, Wild Style, and Zebrahead; there will also be a Blog with a discussion board and a wide array of links to audio and text resources.

I Can't Explain David Bowie, Or Can I? by Brian Nickens As Early As 10
I Can’t Explain David Bowie, Or can I? By Brian Nickens As early as 10 years old I was listening to a steady diet of British Rock. The Beatles, Kinks, Rolling Stones and Cream were in full swing. I was the youngest of 5 children and retreating into my Bedroom alone listening to my older Brothers alBums Became my sanctuary. And Boy, could I listen! I rememBer lying on my Bedroom floor late at night with the record player turned down real low so my parents couldn’t hear. With my ear right against the speaker, I would analyze every tone, sound and lyric of all my favorite songs. By the time I was 14 years old I was already a legit Beatles connoisseur. I would listen to the guitar riffs on Taxman over and over, and over again. I loved the raunchy distorted guitar sounds. Then came Bowie! David and I: The year was 1973. I was 14 years old and went with a friend of mine to visit Marianna his “girlfriend”. When we arrived we were invited into the living room where she and a friend of hers had two albums of David Bowie. They insisted we hang out and listen. The albums were Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups. I was smitten By the sound of these records. I had never heard anything like it. Bowie's otherworldly look made the sounds even more intriguing. David Bowie instantly became my favorite singer. I didn’t have to think aBout it, or ponder it or even get used to the sound.
