  • The Shakespeare Theatre Names Their Unique Support Facility in Honor of Former Governor Thomas H
    Media contact: April 16, 2019 Joe Guerin Marketing Manager 973-845-6743 [email protected] The Shakespeare Theatre Names Their Unique Support Facility in Honor of Former Governor Thomas H. Kean MADISON, NJ — The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey is proud to announce that it will be naming its innovative, behind-the-scenes support facility in honor of Former Governor Thomas H. Kean, who has served as the Theatre’s Honorary Chair for over three decades. Located at 3 Vreeland Road in Florham Park, the building will be named The Thomas H. Kean Theatre Factory: The Education, Production and Administrative Center for The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. Governor Kean’s unparalleled record of advocacy and support for the arts, artists, and arts education throughout the region over many decades, and his deep commitment to emerging young talent inspired The Shakespeare Theatre leadership to ask Governor Kean’s permission to name their groundbreaking workplace in his honor. Governor Kean has graciously agreed to lend his name to the building. Governor Kean said, ''As a lifetime supporter of the arts, I am excited to join my name to this unique project. This ‘Theatre Factory’ will continue to be a center where Artistic Director, Bonnie J. Monte, and her team create and assemble theatrical magic. It is an honor to be included by name in this collaborative artistic nucleus." Artistic Director, Bonnie J. Monte said, “We are absolutely thrilled that Governor Kean’s name will grace our building. Everything that happens inside our Theatre Factory exemplifies the kind of transformative education and training opportunities that the Governor has championed his whole life.

Voluntary Campaign Finance Reform John Copeland Naglet Traditional campaign finance reformers have a dream. Limits on the amount that individuals, political parties, and other organizations can contribute to candidates. Limits on the amount that candidates can spend on their campaigns. Limits on the amount of "soft money" that can be contributed to politi- cal parties and interest groups for spending on political adver- tisements, party building, and get-out-the-vote efforts. Restric- tions on the "issue advocacy" advertisements that address current political controversies-and often critique the positions of individual candidates-but stop just short of endorsing one candidate or another. Television stations that broadcast cam- paign advertisements free of charge, and that provide more substantive discussions of the issues raised in an election. That is the dream. Buckley v. Valeo' is the nightmare. Buckley and its progeny have applied the First Amendment's protection of the freedom of speech to invalidate laws contain- ing many of the provisions desired by traditional campaign fi- nance reformers.

Traditionally, the purposefulness and relevance of a singer-songwriter were defined by something unique in their lyrical acumen, vocal skills and/or guitar or piano accompaniment. In the 1990s this paradigm was tested by the trend towards larger orchestrastion and towards electronic orchestration. In the 2000s it became harder and harder to give purpose and meaning to a body of work mostly relying on the message. Many singer-songwriters of the 2000s belonged to "Generation X" but sang and wrote for members of "Generation Y". Since "Generation Y" was inherently different from all the generations that had preceeded it, it was no surprise that the audience for these singer-songwriters declined. Since the members of "Generation X" were generally desperate to talk about themselves, it was not surprising that the number of such singer- songwriters increased. The net result was an odd disconnect between the musician and her or his target audience. The singer-songwriters of the 2000s generally sounded more "adult" because... they were.

  • Kevin Shields the Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North
    Buddyhead | http://www.buddyhead.com/music/kevinshields/ 19 Jan 2005 Kevin Shields The Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North The Icarus Line got to play with Primal Scream was in New York, and TI have to admit I was slightly disappointed at the time, because Kevin Shields wasn’t performing at the show. The word was that Kevin had to be at his brother’s wedding instead. It definitely added to the myth that I, and many other people as well, had built into our heads that Mr. Shields was some kind of mysterious recluse whose appearances could never be bargained on. The story of Kevin’s band My Bloody Valentine, and their demise, has up to this point sounded closer to folklore than something that happened less than a decade ago. Like a twisted version of the game “telephone”, My Bloody Valentine fans have perpetuated the tallest of tales ranging from master tapes of unreleased albums being set afire, to band reunions in far dark warehouses in Berlin. When The Icarus Line had the opportunity of again opening for Primal Scream, it would be a tour with them across the United Kingdom. When we encountered the band soundchecking on the first day in Glasgow, it occurred to me while I stared at them onstage, that between Kevin’s time in My Bloody Valentine, Mani’s in The Stone Roses, and even Bobby’s stint in The Jesus and Mary Chain, not to mention The Scream themselves, I was witnessing the composers of a good portion of my record collection back home.
