  • Venturing in the Slipstream
    VENTURING IN THE SLIPSTREAM THE PLACES OF VAN MORRISON’S SONGWRITING Geoff Munns BA, MLitt, MEd (hons), PhD (University of New England) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Western Sydney University, October 2019. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. .............................................................. Geoff Munns ii Abstract This thesis explores the use of place in Van Morrison’s songwriting. The central argument is that he employs place in many of his songs at lyrical and musical levels, and that this use of place as a poetic and aural device both defines and distinguishes his work. This argument is widely supported by Van Morrison scholars and critics. The main research question is: What are the ways that Van Morrison employs the concept of place to explore the wider themes of his writing across his career from 1965 onwards? This question was reached from a critical analysis of Van Morrison’s songs and recordings. A position was taken up in the study that the songwriter’s lyrics might be closely read and appreciated as song texts, and this reading could offer important insights into the scope of his life and work as a songwriter. The analysis is best described as an analytical and interpretive approach, involving a simultaneous reading and listening to each song and examining them as speech acts.

  • The Roots Report: Joe Jackson at the Strand
    The Roots Report: Joe Jackson at The Strand Okee dokee folks… “It’s Different For Girls” got things going for Joe Jackson on Monday night at The Strand in Providence. Jackson sat down at his digital keyboard and performed a touching, solo rendition of the song from his 1979 album I’m The Man. The refrain, “You’re all the same…” faded the song to the end. He jumped right into the song that introduced most of us to his music, “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” Bassist Graham Maby joined in on this one. When Jackson sang the line, “look over there” the audience shouted back, “WHERE?” and then they joined in singing on the chorus. The remaining members of the band, Teddy Kumpel on guitar and drummer Doug Yowell, took the stage. The background lighting turned a deep purple on the black drapery and Jackson sang the socially poignant “Real Men” from his Night and Day recording. Not missing a beat he launched right into his 1984 hit, “You Can’t Get What You Want (‘Til You Know What You Want).” Though the studio version was horn- heavy, it carried well with the four-piece treatment. After the next song, “A Little Smile,” Jackson commented, “It’s been quite a long time since we’ve been to Rhode Island. We are trying to get to some places that we haven’t been to in a while, or ever. Thanks for being here. We’re going to be trying out some new songs now. Every one starts as a new song at one time.

  • THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand
    THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand To Frank O’Connor Copyright (c) 1943 The Bobbs-Merrill Company Copyright (c) renewed 1971 by Ayn Rand. All rights reserved. For information address The Bobbs-Merrill Company, a division of Macmillan, Inc., 866 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022. Introduction to the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition Many people have asked me how I feel about the fact that The Fountainhead has been in print for twenty-five years. I cannot say that I feel anything in particular, except a kind of quiet satisfaction. In this respect, my attitude toward my writing is best expressed by a statement of Victor Hugo: "If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away." Certain writers, of whom I am one, do not live, think or write on the range of the moment. Novels, in the proper sense of the word, are not written to vanish in a month or a year. That most of them do, today, that they are written and published as if they were magazines, to fade as rapidly, is one of the sorriest aspects of today’s literature, and one of the clearest indictments of its dominant esthetic philosophy: concrete-bound, journalistic Naturalism which has now reached its dead end in the inarticulate sounds of panic. Longevity-predominantly, though not exclusively-is the prerogative of a literary school which is virtually non-existent today: Romanticism. This is not the place for a dissertation on the nature of Romantic fiction, so let me state--for the record and for the benefit of those college students who have never been allowed to discover it--only that Romanticism is the conceptual school of art.

  • Joe Jackson „Live at Rockpalast“
    Joe Jackson „Live At Rockpalast“ Elisabeth Richter Hildesheimer Straße 83 30169 Hannover GERMANY Tel.: 0049‐511‐806916‐16 Fax: 0049‐511‐806916‐29 Cell: 0049‐177‐7218403 elisabeth.richter@mig‐music.de Release : 24.02.2012 Cat. No.: MIG 90447 Barcode: 885513904478 Format: 2 DVD Digipack Genre: Rock There are very few documents on film that present rock artists at the zenith of their career – and even fewer that cast a light on the beginning. In the run-up to DVD there were merely promotion videos, clips of concerts and video recordings. Of all things it was the much maligned television that captured these unique moments – with the WDR “Rockpalast” leading the way. Apart from only BBC’s "Old Grey Whistle Test" this series established during the seventies a forum for contemporary artists some of which are forgotten today, others obscure – and several legendary. Joe Jackson is one of these legends but a highly industrious one. He continues to record albums, surprises with concerts in shifting line-ups, is living some time in Berlin, another time on the Isle of Wight and one suitcase he left in New York. He already had a career before 1979 when his debut album "Look Sharp!" was released: In his retrospective book "A Cure for Gravity" you can read how Jackson and his band travelled through England and played in pubs to indifferent audiences songs by David Bowie. Glam and punk went by and now Joe Jackson‘s time had finally come: Within a few days he penned a dozen songs for his trio, borrowed the snotty attitude from the hip New Wave geezers and fed the press with slogans like “I hate the crappy trees”.
