It was real comical. Sisters," "Joyful Easter to you, boys." Such were the gleeful When saying our night prayers, we added "extra" petitions exclamations at the sacred Easter time. for those who made us so happy at Easter.

Earling, Iowa; they surprised us with eggs. It was our first effort to sing at High Mass, and we feel sure May God bless and reward them all! that our endeavors were appreciated. Holy Communion of the Catholic boys and prayers for all our benefactors made a special impression on us that morn- ing, and festivity was evident at every place. Breakfast was exceptionally good and in accordance with our taste. A big rabbit was on every table and Easter eggs around it; funny-looking dough figures were a source of gen- eral enjoyment, as there was such a variety of them. We wondered that the good Sisters took so much pains to prepare it so nicely for us. But they are just like Father Flanagan when it comes to giving joy to the boys. Nothing is hard for them and they are always ready for the greatest sacrifices. After breakfast we had egg-hunting. Our dear Father Flanagan was with us, and what joy we had in looking for the Easter eggs hidden all over the playground in the bushes, on the trees, etc., could not be depicted by a boy of twelve. Father Flanagan was just like one of us, and oh! We were so glad, so happy, so grateful for it all! Dinner was splendid. It was more like a regular "banquet" and the finishing course "cakes and ice-cream" was the best of it all. After this feasting, Father called on some boys who sang and recited and we even had some boxing and various games. Benediction followed and visitors came, as Easter Sunday happened to be the "fourth Sunday of the month", our regular visiting day. A youth from the 1980s helps out with the sheep on the farm.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

    Woodstock-era music of the 1960s to rock Mount Clemens fireworks The Macomb Daily (http://www.macombdaily.com) Woodstock-era music of the 1960s to rock Mount Clemens fireworks Friday night event features free live music and fireworks along Clinton River By Mitch Hotts, The Macomb Daily Monday, June 22, 2015 Break out those bell-bottom jeans and tie-dye shirts -- the Mount Clemens Independence Day Celebration on Friday evening will feature music from the Woodstock era. Prior to the fireworks display at dusk, there will be a free live concert by two classic rock bands -- hometown favorites Eastside Westside and Oakland County-based Magic Bus, which specializes in the “free love” era of music from the 1960s and 70s. “In our view, there are two groups of people -- those who lived through the ‘60s and those who wish they had lived through the ‘60s,” said Mark Harrington of Waterford. Harrington, a self-described pop historian and founder of the seven-piece Magic Bus band, said the band does a tribute to various artists of that time frame, ranging from Bob Dylan to Steppenwolf, The Birds to the Beatles. “We basically take you on chronological tour of the 1960s because so much happened during that decade that changed the country,” he said. “We focus on the last three years, the Summer of Love, Woodstock and all that.” Magic Bus will perform on the Clinton River Park stage along the river near Mount Clemens City Hall about 8 p.m. The night will begin with a 6 p.m. concert by Eastside Westside, Like Magic Bus, Eastside Westside’s set list focuses on classic rock tunes from the 1960s/70s, said band spokesman Steve Ferdig.
