  • Eric Clapton
    ERIC CLAPTON BIOGRAFIA Eric Patrick Clapton nasceu em 30/03/1945 em Ripley, Inglaterra. Ganhou a sua primeira guitarra aos 13 anos e se interessou pelo Blues americano de artistas como Robert Johnson e Muddy Waters. Apelidado de Slowhand, é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo. O reconhecimento de Clapton só começou quando entrou no “Yardbirds”, banda inglesa de grande influência que teve o mérito de reunir três dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos em sua formação: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page. Apesar do sucesso que o grupo fazia, Clapton não admitia abandonar o Blues e, em sua opinião, o Yardbirds estava seguindo uma direção muito pop. Sai do grupo em 1965, quando John Mayall o convida a juntar-se à sua banda, os “Blues Breakers”. Gravam o álbum “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”, mas o relacionamento com Mayall não era dos melhores e Clapton deixa o grupo pouco tempo depois. Em 1966, forma os “Cream” com o baixista Jack Bruce e o baterista Ginger Baker. Com a gravação de 4 álbuns (“Fresh Cream”, “Disraeli Gears”, “Wheels Of Fire” e “Goodbye”) e muitos shows em terras norte americanas, os Cream atingiram enorme sucesso e Eric Clapton já era tido como um dos melhores guitarristas da história. A banda separa-se no fim de 1968 devido ao distanciamento entre os membros. Neste mesmo ano, Clapton a convite de seu amigo George Harisson, toca na faixa “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” do White Album dos Beatles. Forma os “Blind Faith” em 1969 com Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker e Rick Grech, que durou por pouco tempo, lançando apenas um album.

  • <I>Twenty-First Century American Playwrights</I>
    The Journal of American Drama and Theatre (JADT) https://jadt.commons.gc.cuny.edu Twenty-First Century American Playwrights Twenty-First Century American Playwrights. Christopher Bigsby. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2018; Pp. 228. In 1982, Christopher Bigsby penned A Critical Introduction to Twentieth-Century American Drama. What was originally planned as a single volume expanded to three, with volume 2 being released in 1984 and Volume 3 in 1985. Although Bigsby, a literary analyst and novelist with more than 50 books to his credit, hails from Britain, he is drawn to American playwrights because of their “stylistic inventiveness…sexual directness…[and] characters ranged across the social spectrum in a way that for long, and for the most part, had not been true of the English theatre” (1). This admiration brought Bigsby’s research across the millennium line to give us his latest offering Twenty-First Century American Playwrights. What Bigsby provides is an in-depth survey of nine writers who entered the American theatre landscape during the past twenty years, including chapters on Annie Baker, Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig, Katori Hall, Amy Herzog, Tracy Letts, David Lindsay-Abaire, Lynn Nottage, Sarah Ruhl, and Naomi Wallace. While these playwrights vary in the manner they work and styles of creative output, what places them together in this volume “is the sense that theatre has a unique ability to engage with audiences in search of some insight into the way we live…to witness how words become manifest, how artifice can, at its best, be the midwife of truth” (5). This explanation, however vague, does little to provide a concrete rubric for why these dramatists were included over others.

  • Family Carnage Tracy Letts' August: Osage County
    FAMILY CARNAGE TRACY LETTS’ AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY GABRIELA GLĂVAN University of Timişoara Abstract : One of the most widely known contemporary plays of today’s American theater, Tracy Letts’ “August: Osage County”(2007), is a literary and dramatic nexus that reunites a significant Western cultural heritage coming from authors such as Eugene O’Neill, Arthur Miller or Federico García Lorca. The paper follows the connections between Tracy Letts’ play and other remarkable dramas of Western theater, while also exploring its thematic structures and characters from a comparative perspective. Keywords : addiction, crisis, contemporary American theater, death, family reunion, intergenerational conflict 1. Introduction: A recipe for disaster Revolving around the family events triggered by the disappearance and death of a patriarchal figure, Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County (2007) has been acknowledged by the vast majority of its critics as an exemplary play of family crisis and disintegration. The play premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago in 2007, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2008. Five years later, in 2013, John Wells directed a cinematographic version of the play, receiving a significantly less enthusiastic critical response. My paper will carry out a close inspection of the major thematic structures in Letts’ play, trying to reveal some clear similarities with other important plays that explore the same dramatic spectrum. As Edward Sobel, Steppenwolf Theater’s director of play development, points out, Tracy Letts seems to be engaged in dialogue with the pantheon of American playwrights, from Eugene O’Neill to Edward Albee, as “their handprints are very much deliberately present in August ” (Sobel qtd.

  • When Gods Fall
    METROPLUS When gods fall Reji Varghese MAY 21, 2016 17:10 IST UPDATED: SEPTEMBER 12, 2016 19:43 IST REJI VARGHESE shares his thoughts on Eric Clapton’s new album, I Still Do People have a tendency to follow the herd. Take music fans for example: if they really don’t like a cult artiste’s music, they are often hesitant to voice their opinion. Over the years, I’ve heard friends and musicians refer to Clapton as “repetitive”, “predictable” and “unoriginal”, but this was done in hushed tones because after all, “Clapton is God”, as the famous graffiti at Islington Station declared in the Sixties. These were exactly my thoughts while listening to Clapton’s latest album, I Still Do, which released on May 20. There are three Clapton originals — ‘Spiral’, ‘I’ll be Alright’ and ‘Catch the Blues’ — all of which are lacklustre. The guitar playing is still great; but they’re the same recycled pentatonic and blues licks that you’ve heard over and over on his albums from decades ago. But my biggest problem is that the nine other songs in the album are covers. There are three interesting things on this album: the cover designed by Peter Blake (who had designed the album cover for The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band); the slick production by Glyn Johns, who has produced albums for The Who, The Rolling Stones and Eagles, among others; and a posthumous guest appearance by George Harrison on the song ‘I Will Be There’. Harrison is credited as Angelo Mysterioso, a pseudonym he used previously for a cameo appearance on Cream’s album Goodbye in 1969.
