February 15.1989 Volume XXIX No. 6 Mystic Rhythms Plays to Full House by Dan Juceam Myatic Rhythms, in their second public performance, G. O. Nets Profit in Winter Concert packed the Schreiber audito- rium on Friday, February 10 in an unprecedented winter con- cert. Nearly the entire gamut of rock and roll mudc was played before an audience of over 450, mainly Schreiber students. A t 8:00 P.M., a crowd consist- ing of students, graduates, and parents began to fill the audito- rium. Administrator Alphonse Campbell, armed with G.O. representatives, Jon Schoen and Steve Schneiderman, ad- dressed the audience and intro- duced the bend. Observing the boisterous audience, Mr. Campbell admonished students against "excessive screaming* and detailed several rules, in- cluding forced expulsion from the proceedings (followed by school suspension) for any drinking or drug uam. Sohoan and Schneiderman followed with an introduction of the band. TTie Mystic Rhythms, con- sisting of vocalist Craig Giants, percussionist Rob Bordsn, bas- sist Mark Overend, guitar-key- boardist Rick Viesta, and gui- tarist Adam Zimmon, played a two hour, 20-pi u s song perform- ance. As this was Schreiber's first winter c o n c e r t , the admini- stration had fielded no definite policies regarding certain as- pects of the show. This became apparent from the onset. When Mystic Rhythms opened with Rnk Floyd's, "Run Like Hell," a few students at the front of the auditorium began to stand up and dance. One of the crowd controllers immediately toldthe studentstositdown. As the song continued, however, fans once again jumped out of their seats in deference to tha music. A controller forced them to return to their seats, but toward the e n d rfthe concert the administrators ceased their ef- forts and let the crowd have its continued an page 3 Gvdtarista Rick Vieata and Mark Overend r o c k the crowd in Friday nl^t concert.

Barnett Associate Professor of Communication Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 7 (2016): Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation 2 On April 18, 2013, members of the Canadian power trio Rush were among the artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a well-deserved honor that was long overdue. Formed in August 1968, Rush would join artists like Pink Floyd and Yes in shaping the music movement that would come to be categorized as “progressive” rock, or “prog rock,” a rock music sub-genre that Rush. Photo credit: By Enrico Frangi (Uploaded by User:Jonasz) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons also developed in the late 1960s.1 As reflected in the music of Rush, progressive rock involves more advanced musical forms, including an expanded instrumental palette and increased com- plexity in terms of instrumentation, as well as more sophisticated lyrical themes ranging from unconventional subject matter to increased social commentary. After years playing on the Toronto music scene, Rush formed their own label, Moon Records, and shortly thereafter released their first album, Rush, in 1974.2 Rush’s self-titled debut album did not garner much attention until Cleveland’s WMMS (100.7 FM), widely regarded as one of the most influential rock radio stations in North America,

Results of a poll taken by a group of students who oppose the failure to grant tenure to the three teachers indicated that most students and faculty. rather than the Board of \SO\A1E.~ Trustees, should have the ultimate decision-making power.

  • Chris Mcdonald. 2009. Rush, Rock Music and the Middle Class: Dreaming in Middletown
    Chris McDonald. 2009. Rush, Rock Music and the Middle Class: Dreaming in Middletown. Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press. Reviewed by Bradley Sroka I first heard the rock band Rush in 1990 when a friend in my ninth-grade science class lent me their first greatest hits collection, Chronicles. I was raised in a middle-class suburb of Annapolis, Maryland, and the tastemakers at my high school informed me that Rush was indeed very cool, so I better listen to them. By the tenth grade, all of my friends listened to their music and spoke with great authority about the band's superior musicianship and the deep meaning we were confident was so evident in Peart's lyrics. For us, Rush's albums were not just the soundtracks to our adolescence; we considered them a trusted font of worldly wisdom. Rush is a virtuoso rock trio begun in 1968 in Toronto and best known for the classic-rock staples "Tom Sawyer" (1981), "The Spirit of Radio" (1980), "Closer to the Heart" (1977), and a half-dozen or so others. Each of the musicians in the trio is a perennial poll winner for his respective instrument in magazines such as Guitar Player and Modern Drummer. Geddy Lee (b. Gary Lee Weinrib) sings, plays bass guitar, and, since 1977, also plays various keyboard instruments and synthesizers. His voice is "distinctive," in that he sings in a high register that many consider an acquired taste. Alex Lifeson (b. Aleksandar ZivojinoviC) plays guitar, and Neil Peart is their revered and ostentatious drummer. Lee and Lifeson regularly write the band's music, and, Peart, far more often than not, writes the lyrics.

    GUIDE TO THE PETE FORNATALE COLLECTION Collection Overview: Collection Title: THE PETE FORNATALE COLLECTION Inclusive Dates: 1960 - 2012 Size: 16 Boxes (5.01 l.f.) Source: Gift of Peter Thomas Fornatale Accession Number: 2016.03 Prepared by: Georgina Rivas-Martinez Repository: Port Washington Public Library Local History Center Collection Abstract: For nearly four decades Pete Fornatale was an award-winning broadcaster, author, music historian and humanitarian whose voice resonated across New York’s radio airwaves. The Pete Fornatale Collection includes photographs, negatives, notebooks pertaining to “Mixed Bag” radio show, copious handwritten notes and notebooks, handwritten song lists, correspondence and publication drafts. Biographical History: Pete Fornatale was one of the architects of Progressive Rock FM in the 1960s, and he has one of the most recognizable voices in rock radio. He has been a fixture on the New York dial for four decades, starting his career at in November 1963 at WFUV as a Fordham undergraduate hosting "Campus Caravan," and then moving on to WNEW-FM in 1969 and K-Rock in 1989. Upon Pete’s passing, he was the host of "Mixed Bag", broadcast on Saturdays from 4-8pm on WFUV 90.7 in New York. The long-running show started as a Sunday morning program in late December of 1982 on WNEW. On a humorous note, Pete remembers getting a fan letter the following week from a then unknown singer-songwriter named Suzanne Vega. She would eventually become a recurring guest on the show. Pete is the author of several books about media, pop culture and music, including "The Rock Music Source Book," "Radio in the Television Age," The Story of Rock 'n' Roll" and "All You Need Is Love." He was also the primary writer of "The Elvis Collection," a 600 trading card series on the life of Elvis Presley.
