    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.

GUNTHER SCHULLER NEA Jazz Master (2008) Interviewee: Gunther Schuller (November 22, 1925 - ) Interviewer: Steve Schwartz with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: June 29-30, 2008 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 87 pp. Schwartz: This is Steve Schwartz from WGBH radio in Boston. We’re at the home of Gunther Schuller on Dudley Road in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, to do an oral history for the Smithsonian Oral History Jazz Program, if that’s the right title. Close enough? Hello Gunther. Schuller: Hello. Good to see you. Schwartz: Thank you for opening your doors to us. We should start at the beginning, or as far back to the beginning as we can go. I’d love to have you talk about your childhood, your growing up in New York, and whatever memories you have – your parents, who they are, who they were – things like that to get us started. Schuller: I was born in New York. Many people think I was born in Germany, with my German name and I speak fluent German, but I was born in New York City. My parents came over from Germany in 1923. They were not married. They didn’t know each other. They just happened to leave more or less the same time, when the inflation in Germany was so crazy that a loaf of bread cost not 40, 400, 4,000, but 4-million marks.

Posted: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 10:00 pm All-day MSU Open House and Conversation 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013 Ballroom A (PRESENTATION OF COLORS AND HONOR GUARD IN MEMORY OF 9/11) Welcome to our first Open House & Conversation, a day-long opportunity to share information and seek recommendations from faculty, students, staff, alumni and friends of Montana State University. This year marks the 120th anniversary of our institution. We celebrate this landmark with some notable accomplishments in our university’s history: In a few days, we will announce the fall 2013 enrollment, which we believe will be MSU’s largest enrollment in its history. We have begun construction of a new building for the Jake Jabs College of Business and Entrepreneurship launched by Jake Jabs' gift of $25 million to his alma mater. We have just opened a beautiful state-of-the art residence hall, Gallatin Hall. There is a tremendous enthusiasm for all things Bobcat, not only on our campus, but in our community and state. I cannot help but think if back in 1893 when the Montana State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was established, our founders’ envisioned the dynamic and respected institution that Montana State University is today. So let's pay homage to that vision by reviewing our accomplishments and projects in terms of MSU's foundational mission and the goals of our strategic plan to further our land-grant institution.
