Carrier's visit was pan of an ongoing program in which members of the JMU administration participate in various campus activities to gain a greater understanding of students' needs and desires. "After I was student for a day, I came back to my office and we developed a program where vice presidents and other staff members will do things students normally do, in their emotional environment in which they function," Carrier said. "For example, some of the staff have to register for classes, park in the commuter lot. cat in the dining hall, buy books, lift weights in the students' weight room," he said. "It was my turn to sleep in a dormitory." Freshmen Chip DcWalt and Tim Gillons served as Carrier's hosts during his visit, although most of the eighth-floor residents spent at least a few minutes Staff photo by BRETT ZWERDLING chatting with their guest.

  • Homeless Brother by Don Mclean, Released in 1974 on the Album Homeless Brother
    Homeless Brother by Don McLean, released in 1974 on the album Homeless Brother I was walking by the graveyard, late last Friday night, I heard somebody yelling, it sounded like a fight. It was just a drunken hobo dancing circles in the night, Pouring whiskey on the headstones in the blue moonlight. So often have I wondered where these homeless brothers go, Down in some hidden valley were their sorrows cannot show, Where the police cannot find them, where the wanted man can go. There's freedom when your walkin', even though you're walkin' slow. Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can, That homeless brother is my friend. It's hard to be a pack rat, it's hard to be a 'bo, But livin's so much harder where the heartless people go. Somewhere the dogs are barking and the children seem to know That Jesus on the highway was a lost hobo. And they hear the holy silence of the temples in the hill, And they see the ragged tatters as another kind of thrill. And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him the chill, And they're sad to do their livin' for some other kind of thrill. Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can, That homeless brother is my friend. Somewhere there was a woman, somewhere there was a child, Somewhere there was a cottage where the marigolds grew wild. But some where's just like nowhere when you leave it for a while, You'll find the broken-hearted when you're travellin' jungle-style.

  • Madonna's Postmodern Revolution
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2021, Vol. 11, No. 1, 26-32 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2021.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Rebel Madame: Madonna’s Postmodern Revolution Diego Santos Vieira de Jesus ESPM-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The aim is to examine Madonna’s revolution regarding gender, sexuality, politics, and religion with the focus on her songs, videos, and live performances. The main argument indicates that Madonna has used postmodern strategies of representation to challenge the foundational truths of sex and gender, promote gender deconstruction and sexual multiplicity, create political sites of resistance, question the Catholic dissociation between the physical and the divine, and bring visual and musical influences from multiple cultures and marginalized identities. Keywords: Madonna, postmodernism, pop culture, sex, gender, sexuality, politics, religion, spirituality Introduction Madonna is not only the world’s highest earning female entertainer, but a pop culture icon. Her career is based on an overall direction that incorporates vision, customer and industry insight, leveraging competences and weaknesses, consistent implementation, and a drive towards continuous renewal. She constructed herself often rewriting her past, organized her own cult borrowing from multiple subaltern subcultures, and targeted different audiences. As a postmodern icon, Madonna also reflects social contradictions and attitudes toward sexuality and religion and addresses the complexities of race and gender. Her use of multiple media—music, concert tours, films, and videos—shows how images and symbols associated with multiracial, LGBT, and feminist groups were inserted into the mainstream. She gave voice to political interventions in mass popular culture, although many critics argue that subaltern voices were co-opted to provide maximum profit.

  • Interview with DON MCLEAN Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on April 13, 2017
    This interview with DON MCLEAN was conducted by the Library of Congress on April 13, 2017. Don McLean LIBRARY OF CONGRESS: There is some debate (some may say controversy) about where you started writing “American Pie.” Would you like to set the record straight now? Don McLean: Yes. When I started writing the song, I lived in a little gate house owned by James Bennenson, Jr. It was in Cold Spring on the Hudson, a little town near Garrison, just north of Peekskill. So, I lived in that gate house because I needed a place to stay, because I had no money at the time. I was working with Pete Seeger’s environmental effort to save the Hudson River. I wrote the first part of the song, from “Long, long time ago” to “The day the music died,” there. The chorus was written in the same houses about a month later. I wrote the remainder in the home of my first wife’s parents in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania. LOC: When was the first time you performed the song? DM: The first time I performed it was at Temple University in Philadelphia. I had to have a little girl hold up the lyrics for me. LOC: Where’d you get the little girl from? DM: I called her up from the audience. I was there opening for the great Laura Nyro. LOC: Did the song immediately get a good reaction from that first audience? DM: No. Not really. Though it picked up as it went along. But it only really got recognition after I made the record, when people started to really listen to the song.
