By Anne Rosso College students love keg parties, don't we? Yep, we've all jumped at an opportunity to crowd around kegs of cheap beer, desperately thrusting plastic cups toward the person who just might be holding the nozzle ... hoping, nay, praying to ruthlessly jam ourselves in front of the guy preventing our consumption of those 16 ounces of stale, possibly even warm, Busch Light. These are the parties we came to college for, right? This is what all the cool kids are doing, isn't it? A growing number of Iowa State students say no. Shunning the traditional malt-liquor orgies that have come to typify college life, these renegade students seek the enlightenment and sophistication found only in one beverage-the cocktail. But, to be honest, the allure of a few martinis (shaken, not stirred) isn't the only draw. Cocktails embody a way of life, a culture all their own.With cocktails come ultra­ smooth, xylophone-punctuated lounge music, long cigarettes, smarmy suits and sleek, retro dresses.

  • A Life Adrift
    A Lf A A Life Adrift, the memoir of balladeer-political activist Soeda Azembō (1872- 1944), chronicles his life as one of Japan’s Þ rst modern mass entertainers and imparts an understanding of how ordinary people experienced and accommodated the tumult of life in prewar Japan. Azembō created enka songs sung by tenant farmers in rural hinterlands and factory hands in Tokyo and Osaka. Although his work is still largely unknown outside Japan, his poems and lyrics were so well known at his career’s peak that a single verse served as shorthand expressing popular attitudes about political corruption, sex scandals, spiralling prices, war, and love of motherland. As these categories attest, he embedded in his songs contemporary views on class conß ict, gender relations, and racial attitudes toward international rivals. Ordinary people valued Azembō’s music because it was of them and for them. They also appreciated it for being distinctively modern and home-grown, qualities rare among the cultural innovations that ß ooded into Japan from the mid- nineteenth century. A Life Adrift stands out as the only memoir of its kind, one written Þ rst-hand by a leader in the world of enka singing. The Author Michael Lewis is Professor of History at Michigan State University. 0001a-prelims-Life01a-prelims-Life AAdrift.indddrift.indd i 117/10/087/10/08 11:36:21:36:21 ppmm Routledge Contemporary Japan Series A Japanese Company in Crisis Political Reform in Japan Ideology, strategy, and narrative Leadership looming large Fiona Graham Alisa Gaunder Japan’s Foreign Aid Civil Society and the Internet in Japan Old continuities and new directions Isa Ducke Edited by David Arase Japan’s Contested War Memories Japanese Apologies for World War II The ‘memory rifts’ in historical A rhetorical study consciousness of World War II Jane W.
