  • Race, Party, and African American Politics, in Boston, Massachusetts, 1864-1903
    Not as Supplicants, but as Citizens: Race, Party, and African American Politics, in Boston, Massachusetts, 1864-1903 by Millington William Bergeson-Lockwood A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Martha S. Jones, Chair Professor Kevin K. Gaines Professor William J. Novak Professor Emeritus J. Mills Thornton III Associate Professor Matthew J. Countryman Copyright Millington William Bergeson-Lockwood 2011 Acknowledgements Writing a dissertation is sometimes a frustratingly solitary experience, and this dissertation would never have been completed without the assistance and support of many mentors, colleagues, and friends. Central to this project has been the support, encouragement, and critical review by my dissertation committee. This project is all the more rich because of their encouragement and feedback; any errors are entirely my own. J. Mills Thornton was one of the first professors I worked with when I began graduate school and he continues to make important contributions to my intellectual growth. His expertise in political history and his critical eye for detail have challenged me to be a better writer and historian. Kevin Gaines‘s support and encouragement during this project, coupled with his insights about African American politics, have been of great benefit. His push for me to think critically about the goals and outcomes of black political activism continues to shape my thinking. Matthew Countryman‘s work on African American politics in northern cities was an inspiration for this project and provided me with a significant lens through which to reexamine nineteenth-century black life and politics.

  • 'Badboys' of Rock Tour Coming to the 155 Great Allentown Fair
    ‘Badboys’ of Rock Tour coming to The 155 th Great Allentown Fair Hinder, Papa Roach, Buckcherry to perform on August 29 For release Wednesday, May 9, 2007 Allentown, Pa . The self-proclaimed ‘Badboys’ of Rock, modern rock bands Hinder, Papa Roach and Buckcherry, are coming to The 155 th Great Allentown Fair on Wednesday, August 29. These bands, touted as the successors to the monster rock bands of the ‘70s and ‘80s, are hitting the road together this summer predominantly playing state and county fairs. Their current singles are all over contemporary rock and pop charts. A fourth band to be announced will open their mini-festival type concerts. Tickets for the Allentown Fair’s “Badboys” show are $35 and go on sale starting Saturday, June 2. There will be festival-style standing room in front of the stage and reserved tiered seating under cover in the Fair’s Grandstand. Tickets purchased in advance of the show date include admission into the Fair. The show will start at 7 p.m. Hinder is still pumping out hits off of its “Extreme Behavior” album released in late 2005. They include “Get Stoned,” “Better Than Me” and Hinder’s power ballad, “Lips of an Angel,” that has since been re-recorded by Country singer Jack Ingram who performs at the Fair as part of the Brad Paisley Tour the next day after Hinder’s scheduled appearance. Papa Roach’s current album “Paramour Sessions” has spawned singles “To Be Loved,” and “Forever” getting a lot of airplay. Former hits include “Last Resort” and “Scars.” 2 Buckcherry has perhaps the most obvious “Badboy” tune, “Crazy Bitch,” off of its current album “15.” The band’s latest single on the charts “Everything” follows up one of its best known singles “Lit Up” in popularity.

  • Gear Acquisition Syndrome
    Jan-Peter Herbst & Jonas Menze Gear Acquisition Syndrome, also known as GAS, is commonly Syndrome Gear Acquistion understood as the musicians’ unrelenting urge to buy and own Gear Acquistion Syndrome instruments and equipment as an anticipated catalyst of creative energy and bringer of happiness. For many musicians, it involves the unavoidable compulsion to spend money one does not have on Consumption of Instruments and gear perhaps not even needed. The urge is directed by the belief that Technology in Popular Music acquiring another instrument will make one a better player. This book pioneers research into the complex phenomenon named GAS from a variety of disciplines, including popular music studies and music technology, cultural and leisure studies, consumption research, sociology, psychology and psychiatry. The newly created theoretical framework and empirical studies of online communities and offline music stores allow the study to consider musical, social and personal motives, which influence the way musicians think about and deal with equipment. As is shown, GAS encompasses a variety of practices and psychological processes. In an often life-long endeavour, upgrading the rig is accompanied by musical learning processes in popular music.
