Brno, December 2020 ............................................... Bc. Radka Šimková ii 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to my supervisor and adviser, Ailsa Marion Randall, M.A., for her continuous and unwavering support and never-ending faith in my abilities to finish this work. Further I would like to thank my parents for their unconditional love, confidence and trust in my decisions. I am obligated to express many thanks to some of my dearest friends. Namely, Melanie and Kathleen, for their ceaseless friendship and abundance of motivation. Robert, because he never failed to make me laugh and make my day better, even at my worst. Jana, who threw some helpful thoughts my way when I least expected it. Anna, who has always believed in me. Mark who stood by my side and provided endless support. Cloé and Bailey because they are goofy and lovely and I love them very much. And last but not least, Casen, who pulled me out of the dark hole of self-pity and misery, brought me out into the light and showed me that I can, in fact, do it if I stop whining. Thank you, for you all made this possible. iii 3 Annotation The thesis “The Reflection of American History in Bon Jovi Songs” deals with the connection of Bon Jovi music to American history, culture and religion. It addresses the historical, cultural and religious background of not only the period that Bon Jovi was creating in but also from other earlier times which influenced their music. The thesis discusses ideas and expressions in three different songs in relation to three different topics tied to America. The song Dry County mainly connects to settlement issues, mostly the struggles of immigrants and their relatives when arriving in America, living in a new environment as well as the stress of tearing family bonds when moving and of poverty tied to lack of money. The second song, Living in Sin, expresses the battle that the further generations had to face in order to validate themselves as true part of the society and their confusion with the rules set within the family. The third and final song, Livin’ on a Prayer, describes the struggles of young people who were trying to make a living for themselves. All three songs are connected by the topic of religion and its influence on the unity of the population as well as what religion meant to each generation. The last part of the thesis considers the information found in the research and applies them to educational environment. Key Words American culture, American Dream, American history, American migration, Bon Jovi, faith, music, music in curriculum, religion, song lyrics. iv 4 Abstrakt Diplomová práce “Odraz Americké Historie v Písních Bon Jovi“ se zabývá propojením hudby Bon Jovi s americkou historií, kulturou a náboženstvím. Diskutuje o historickém, kulturním a náboženském prostředí nejen z doby, ve které Bon Jovi tvořili, ale také z dřívějších časů, které ovlivnily jejich hudbu. Práce pojednává o myšlenkách a výrazech ve třech různých písničkách v souvislosti s třemi různými tématy, které se vážou k Americe. Píseň Dry County se převážně spojuje s problémy osídlování, hlavně obtížemi imigrantů a jejich příbuzných při příchodu do Ameriky, žití v novém prostředí stejně jako stresem z rozvrácení rodinných pout při stěhování a z chudoby spojené s nedostatkem peněz. Druhá píseň, Living in Sin, vyjadřuje boj, se kterým se následující generace musely potýkat, aby se osvědčily jako opravdová součást společnosti a jejich zmatek z pravidel, která byla v rodině nastavena. Třetí a konečná píseň, Livin‘ on a Prayer, popisuje obtíže mladých lidí, kteří se snažili vydělat si na živobytí. Všechny tři písně jsou propojeny motivem náboženství a jeho vlivem na jednotu obyvatelstva, jakož i co náboženství znamená pro jednotlivé generace. Poslední část této práce uvažuje o informacích, které tento výzkum našel a aplikuje je na vzdělávací prostředí. Klíčová slova Americká kultura, americký sen, americká historie, americká migrace, Bon Jovi, víra, hudba, hudba v kurikulu, náboženství, texty písní. v 5 Table of Contents 1

  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

  • Family Ties and Political Participation*
    Family Ties and Political Participation∗ Alberto Alesina and Paola Giuliano Harvard University, Igier Bocconi and UCLA April 2009 Abstract We establish an inverse relationship between family ties, generalized trust and political participation. The more individuals rely on the family as a provider of services, insurance, transfer of resources, the lower is civic engagement and political participation. The latter, together with trust, are part of what is known as social capital, therefore in this paper we contribute to the investigation of the origin and evolution of social capital over time. We establish these results using within country evidence and looking at the behavior of immigrants from various countries in 32 different destination places. ∗Prepared for the JEEA lecture, American Economic Assocition meeting, January 2008. We thank Dorian Carloni and Giampaolo Lecce for excellent research assistanship. 1 1Introduction Well functioning democracies need citizens’ participation in politics. Political participation is a broader concept than simply voting in elections and it includes a host of activities like volunteering as an unpaid campaign worker, debating politics with others and attending political meetings like campaign appearances of candidates, joining political groups, participating in boycott activities, strikes or demonstrations, writing letters to representatives and so on.1 What deter- mines it? The purpose of this paper is to investigate an hypothesis put forward by Banfield (1958) in his study of a Southern Italian village. He defines "amoral familism" as a social equilibrium in which people trust (and care about) ex- clusively their immediate family, expect everybody else to behave in that way and therefore (rationally) do not trust non family members and do not expect to be trusted outside the family2 .

Throughout his career, he has released two solo albums and eleven studio albums with his band which have sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Jon Bon Jovi was born John Francis Bongiovi, Jr. in Perth Amboy, New Jersey the son of two former Marines, barber John Francis Bongiovi, Sr. and florist Carol Sharkey. He has two brothers, Anthony and Matthew. His father was of Sicilian and Slovak ancestry and his mother was of German and Russian descent. He has stated that he is a blood relative of Frank Sinatra.

As a child, Bon Jovi attended St. Joseph High School, in Metuchen, New Jersey, during his freshman and sophomore years. He later transferred to Sayreville War Memorial High School in Parlin, New Jersey. // 1 / 9 Jon Bon Jovi Bon Jovi spent most of his adolescence bunking school to opt for music activities instead, and ended up playing in local bands with friends and his cousin Tony Bongiovi, who owned the then famous New York recording studio, The Power Station. As a result, his academic records displayed less than spectacular achievements and poor grades. By the time he was 16, Bon Jovi was playing clubs. It was not long before he hooked up with keyboardist David Bryan (real name: David Bryan Rashbaum), who played with him in a ten-piece rhythm and blues band called Atlantic City Expressway.
