  • Rock and Roll Man Explores Alan Freed's Legacy
    http://jewishexponent.com/2017/09/27/rock-roll-man-explores-alan-freeds-legacy/ Rock and Roll Man Explores Alan Freed’s Legacy By Jon Marks - September 27, 2017 Alan Freed Lance Freed will never forget the conversation. He’d built quite a legacy of his own in the music industry in the decades following his famous father’s 1965 death from liver disease. A friend asked if he’d host an event for a woman who was a true pioneer in her own right. That woman saw the Freed name and wondered if there was a connection. “We were leaving the house when she asked, ‘Are you related to him?’” the 70- year-old Freed recalled. “I said ‘Yes.’” That woman was Rosa Parks, whom he was about to accompany to a nearby synagogue where she’d be speaking. “She said, ‘You know I never heard his broadcasts or saw his movies, but I was very much aware of him,’” Freed said. “‘In many ways, he was a hero to us. Through his music, he broke down barriers of prejudice and helped desegregate the races at a very important time. We owe him a debt of gratitude.’” You won’t hear that story in Rock and Roll Man: The Alan Freed Story, which continues its world-premiere run at the Bucks County Playhouse through Oct. 1. But it demonstrates the impact Freed, who’s credited in most circles with coining the term “rock ’n’ roll,” had not only on music, but society. Freed, Alan Campbell and stepsister Sieglinde Freed | Photo provided The production features Tony Award nominee Alan Campbell as Freed and George Wendt, best known as Norm from Cheers, as former FBI director J.

This interdisciplinary book series publishes research on popular music and its geo-spatial relations by scholars working in the wider dis- ciplines and subject fields of popular music studies, cultural geography, cultural studies, sociology, urban studies, youth studies, leisure studies, and beyond. Titles in the series focus not only on specific cities, but also rural and suburban places, alternative or marginal spaces, online spaces, and other music geogra- phies, for example, histories of vanished or erased places, music tourist attrac- tions, thanatological spaces (e.g., cemeteries and other memorializations for deceased musicians), music museums, and so on. The series promotes work by scholars interested in popular music, place and space, cultural identities, globali- zation, history, and cultural heritage. In turn, the book series offers a critical space for scholars to theorize about the changing place of popular music where it is encountered, enjoyed, and contested.

  • An Historical Overview of Philanthropy in Rock
    HEEDING THE CALL: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF PHILANTHROPY IN ROCK By JI HOON LEE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Ji Hoon Lee 2 To everyone who nurtured my intellectual curiosity, academic interests, and sense of scholarship throughout my lifetime, making this dissertation possible 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank my chair, Dr. William McKeen, and members of my supervisory committee for their mentoring and my family for their loving encouragement, which motivated me to complete my dissertation. They have guided me with motivation, encouragement, and words of wisdom. I am eternally grateful for their support and help throughout this journey. Thank you for everything. Sometimes, something happens to us, and the words “destiny” and “fate” seem to accurately describe the strange occurrence. For me, Live Aid—the cross-continental mega charity rock concert and one of the main subjects explored in my study—was one of those magic moments. I still vividly remember the day of the concert, July 13, 1985; it was an eye-opening revelation that ultimately led me to become a rock and roll enthusiast, and to say that the concert changed my life is still a vast understatement. I had heard the music of Duran Duran, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Madonna, and Bob Dylan, but I had never seen any of them perform. However, the concert was not just about the music but about saving people’s lives in Ethiopia, dying from hunger and famine.
