  • Lone Star Brewing: Beer, Progressive Country Music, and the ‘Texas Mystique’1 Joseph R
    Lone Star Brewing: Beer, Progressive Country Music, and the ‘Texas Mystique’1 Joseph R. Fox 18 Michael Martin Murphey holding up a bottle of Lone Star Beer. Courtesy of the Jerry Retzloff Collection, Wittliff Collections, Texas State University. In the April 1976 edition of the music magazine Hit Parade, Bruce Meyer writes about an interview he conducted with the Texas rock band ZZ Top. The group had just finished a performance before 20,000 people at Atlanta’s Omni Stadium, and all three band members, wearing cowboy hats, western belt buckles, and jeans, went to a nearby hotel ballroom to mingle with fans and drink beer. “You’ve got to be a Texan to love Lone Star beer,” says Meyer. He describes Lone Star beer as tasting bad but also remarks that, because the beverage had become an icon of Texas popular culture at that time, 19 “no self-respecting Texan would think of tarnishing his image by admitting the stuff turns his stomach. So, he chokes it down and smiles, knowing that, after the fourth or fifth bottle, it won’t matter.” At the far end of the ballroom, stainless steel tubs (resembling horse troughs) contain bottles of Lone Star beer on ice. When ZZ Top enters the room, the musicians make their way back to the tubs. According to Meyer, guitarist Billy Gibbons grabs a beer, chugs half of it down with one swallow, and then looks around the room “with an elfish grin and a glint of 2 triumph in his eye.” Such public displays of Texas swagger were typical of ZZ Top.

  • Spaces Magazine 'A Space for the Arts'
    The Kathmandu Contemporary Arts Centre 20/4/10 A Space for the Arts Text and images : Sharareh Bajracharya Around four to five in the evening, in the open courtyard space of Gyan Mandala, students of art, music, and dance, of all ages and backgrounds, mingle and casually share stories with established people in their fields. They are coming out of the restored three-story building that used to be Gyanodaya College. The building now has purple borders with interspersed unpainted areas as if waiting for an artist’s brush. The first two floors of the building are run by the Kathmandu Contemporary Arts Centre. The second floor has independent studios and work spaces, including the Hana Healing Centre and the Initiative Outdoor. On the very top is the established Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory and the Kat Jazz Studio. Over the past two months, the Gyan Mandala area has earned the right to call itself a complete space for the arts, from visual arts and music to acting and dancing. It is one of the first places in Nepal where different forms of contemporary art maintain their individual integrity and at the same time, display, perform, and create within a shared space. How did this collaborative space come about? The Kathmandu Contemporary Arts Centre, KCAC, opened on 17 January, 2010 through the joint efforts of the founding directors, Sangeeta Thapa and Celia Washington. The idea stemmed from a series of discussions begun three to four years ago. Having received a positive response, Celia began a series of fundraising events in England, established a British charity and created publicity to support the contemporary arts in Nepal.
