    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

Any distribution, dissemination or duplication of this docu- ment is strictly prohibited. SYNOPSIS Why is it that some countries seem to be continually mired in cyclical wars, political instability and economic crises? The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one such a place, a mineral-rich Central African country that, over the last two decades, has seen more than five million conflict-related deaths, multiple regime changes and the wholesale impoverishment of its people. Yet though this ongoing conflict is the world’s bloodiest since WWII, little is known in the West about the players or stakes involved. THIS IS CONGO provides an immersive and unfiltered look into the Africa’s longest continuing conflict and those who are surviving within it. By following four compelling characters — a whistleblower, a patriotic military commander, a mineral dealer and a displaced tailor — the film offers viewers a truly Congolese perspective on the problems that plague this lushly beautiful nation. Colonel ‘Kasongo’, Mamadou Ndala, Mama Romance and Hakiza Nyantaba exemplify the unique resilience of a people who have lived and died through the generations due to the cycle of brutality generated by this conflict.

    Mill Valley Oral History Program A collaboration between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library David Getz An Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2020 © 2020 by the Mill Valley Public Library TITLE: Oral History of David Getz INTERVIEWER: Debra Schwartz DESCRIPTION: Transcript, 60 pages INTERVIEW DATE: January 9, 2020 In this oral history, musician and artist David Getz discusses his life and musical career. Born in New York City in 1940, David grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn. David recounts how an interest in Native American cultures originally brought him to the drums and tells the story of how he acquired his first drum kit at the age of 15. David explains that as an adolescent he aspired to be an artist and consequently attended Cooper Union after graduating from high school. David recounts his decision to leave New York in 1960 and drive out to California, where he immediately enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute and soon after started playing music with fellow artists. David explains how he became the drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966 and reminisces about the legendary Monterey Pop Festival they performed at the following year. He shares numerous stories about Janis Joplin and speaks movingly about his grief upon hearing the news of her death. David discusses the various bands he played in after the dissolution of Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as the many places he performed over the years in Marin County. He concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family: his daughters Alarza and Liz, both of whom are singer- songwriters, and his wife Joan Payne, an actress and singer.

  • Note Di Produzione
    ! Note di produzione Questa è la storia dell’ascesa del gruppo più famigerato del mondo. Nel 1987, usando rime brutalmente vere e ritmi hardcore, cinque ragazzi —Ice Cube (O’SHEA JACKSON, JR.), Dr. Dre (COREY HAWKINS di Non-Stop), Eazy-E (JASON MITCHELL di Contraband), DJ Yella (NEIL BROWN, JR. di Fast & Furious) e MC Ren (ALDIS HODGE di Die Hard – Un buon giorno per morire) — hanno trasformato la loro frustrazione e rabbia nei confronti della vita nel loro quartiere a Los Angeles nell’arma più potente che avevano: la loro musica. Verso la fine degli anni ’80, le strade di Compton, California, erano tra le più pericolose del Paese. Il crack si stava diffondendo a una velocità tanto allarmante quanto il business violento delle bande che spingevano il suo uso. Il dipartimento di polizia di Los Angeles (LAPD) e la sua unità specializzata in gang conducevano una guerra contro la droga con una ferocia tanto incontrollata e senza freni da lasciare i residenti della comunità di quella cittadina della California del sud non semplicemente tesi ma scioccati, senza fiducia verso l’autorità e dolorosamente inaspriti. Eazy-E, un carismatico spacciatore e traffichino tanto sveglio da vedere un futuro nell’emergente scena rap di L.A., aveva un piano. Deciso a lasciarsi alle spalle la vita di strada si è messo in contatto con il suo amico Dr. Dre, un deejay locale che lavorava regolarmente nei club di Compton in coppia con DJ Yella. Anche loro erano stanchi di vicoli ciechi e affamati di cambiamento, e Eazy-E aveva le risorse e le connessioni per fare il grande cambiamento.
