Detached from their opinions, Colbert and Stewart (and Maher, when he’s not being sexist) are agreeable, funny comedians whose job of keeping Americans informed about political irrationality holds politics at the forefront of topical conversations. While impressive indeed, more impressive is author Daniel Kurtzman’s ability to convey satirical absurdity in print, the simultaneously most intellectual and least sought form of communication. with a LIBERAL For the few book readers that still exist in today’s TV-dominat- tips in an organized fashion. For example, if one is having an argu- ed society, Kurtzman’s book is a sort of dream come true. As would ment with a significant other, one shouldn’t, “resort to amateurish, be expected for a self-help composition, How to Win is heavily an- passive-aggressive behavior,” or, “let resentments fester.” Converse- notated and isn’t intended to be read exhaustively—though doing ly, one should, “tease their significant other,” and most definitely so would certainly result in an even greater appreciation of the wit should, “agree on a safeword to signal when one has reached their and vitriol, which Kurtzman so snidely employs. The book is orga- limit.” In practice, all of these tips can be immensely helpful in nized into eight chapters, all of which carry very specific themes, avoiding the unwelcome recoil many experience when discussing including the following: What It Means to Be a Conservative, How such controversial topics.

Though the titles are humorous and appealing, makes this book so enticing. The frank manner in which all of the much of the underlying material, while satirical, actually provides topics are conveyed can be startling to many readers.

He indicates specific, right offensive and the book would likely offend many average lib- intelligent points in order to win an argument with sophistication eral readers; however, this is a contribution to the book’s success. rather than with haste. In fact, Kurtzman’s advice is incredibly To effectively debate and argue as a liberal, it’s imperative to know specific: he varies his words according to the proselytizer, from how the foe is going to approach you. This wise technique shows a spouse to perfect stranger, co-worker, or parent. He lists these Kurtzman’s unequivocal wit. 4 | PENN POLITICAL REVIEW | SUMMER 2012 NATIONAL Marc-Anthony Serrano writes the first in a series of book reviews for Penn Polit- ical Review. He tackles Daniel Kurtzman’s pair of best-selling political satires, How to Win a Fight with a Liberal and How to Win a Fight with a Conservative. WIN A FIGHT with a CONSERVATIVE When considering all from the previous book, Kurtzman Though offensive, these jokes should be taken in jest. proved his political adaptability in writing How to Win a Fight The book definitely does an admirable job at preparing the lib- with a Conservative. The books are almost identical in structure. eral mind for a confrontation with its ideological opponents—and This work is also separated into various, specific chapters for -en if one can manage to articulate liberal ideology even half as well countering pretty much any situation with a conservative. Ad- as Kurtzman, resistance would likely be futile. Even so, the book mittedly, this book, though a direct counterpart to the previous, doesn’t promote blind antagonism—though that isn’t to say that has much more material. Quotes are found throughout by many it doesn’t promote any antagonism. The name of the game is tact, well-known satirists, like Stephen Colbert. For instance, on page and Kurtzman is its master. As he puts it, “Build your street cred 39, Colbert is quoted for stating, “Reality has a well-known liberal with conservatives by bad-mouthing an annoying liberal—say, bias.” The commonly thought liberal media bias is an advantage Jesse Jackson or Rosie O’Donnell. That way you’ll defy stereotypes that Conservative has over Liberal, and this is a direct product of and demonstrate that your allegiances are not blind. Continue to the media environment in which we dwell. This book also tends rope them in by appealing to shared values and common interests to be much funnier than its counterpart, with jokes that are more before unleashing your Trojan horse–style sneak attack.” Once the controversial. For example: “What liberals say: I’m tired of listen- foe is appreciatively listening, then the time has come to pour on ing to religious nutcases and puritanical prudes trying to dictate the slanderous comments. Surely, the likening of Rudy Giuliani to what I do in the bedroom or what I can do with my body. What Newt Gingrich and their common adulterous ways would infuri- conservatives hear: I’m a godless, amoral hedonist. Where’s the ate most conservatives, which Kurtzman suggests as an argument nearest drive-through abortion clinic?” While edgy, jokes like this strategy. One should understand the opponent before attempting definitely get the attention of the reader. to argue. Both books have proven a great point—Kurtzman can argue on an extremely sophisticated level. The satire in each of these publications is exceptional and certainly deserves greater attention than it is currently receiving. The style of arguments and the tactics described mirror those that one would find in a class on the art of rhetoric and logic. Regardless of one’s political affiliations, all will find equal entertainment within these texts given one truth— that one is able to recognize flaws within their own reason and accept their shortcomings. Please, do open up and laugh heartily, for as Kurtzman says, “Partisan warfare has never been so much fun,” and, for the first time, both sides of the aisle will overwhelmingly agree.

Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Stephen Foster and American Song a Guide for Singers
    STEPHEN FOSTER AND AMERICAN SONG A Guide for Singers A Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samantha Mowery, B.A., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Dr. Robin Rice, Advisor Approved By Professor Peter Kozma ____________________ Dr. Wayne Redenbarger Advisor Professor Loretta Robinson Graduate Program in Music Copyright Samantha Mowery 2009 ABSTRACT While America has earned a reputation as a world-wide powerhouse in area such as industry and business, its reputation in music has often been questioned. Tracing the history of American folk song evokes questions about the existence of truly American song. These questions are legitimate because our country was founded by people from other countries who brought their own folk song, but the history of our country alone proves the existence of American song. As Americans formed lives for themselves in a new country, the music and subjects of their songs were directly related to the events and life of their newly formed culture. The existence of American song is seen in the vocal works of Stephen Collins Foster. His songs were quickly transmitted orally all over America because of their simple melodies and American subjects. This classifies his music as true American folk-song. While his songs are simple enough to be easily remembered and distributed, they are also lyrical with the classical influence found in art song. These characteristics have attracted singers in a variety of genres to perform his works. ii Foster wrote over 200 songs, yet few of those are known.

These buildings made the tiny village called Barlow Plains. They stood in the middle of a long narrow strip of level ground. They were islanded by green fields and pastures. There were hills beyond; the mountains themselves seemed very near. Scattered about on the hill slopes were farmhouses, which stood so far apart, with their clusters of out-buildings, that each looked lonely, and the pine woods above seemed to besiege them all. It was lighter on the uplands than it was in the valley, where the three men sat on their bench, with their backs to the store and the western sky. "Well, here we be 'most into June, an' I 'ain't got a bush­ bean above ground," lamented Henry Merrill. "Your land's always late, ain't it? But you always catch up with the rest on us," Asa Brown consoled him. "I've often observed that your land, though early planted, was late to sprout. I view it there's a good week's difference betwixt me an' Stover an' your folks, but come first o' July we all even up."

WIGNELL XULT, each patriot heart!—this night is shewn A piece, which we may fairly call our own; EWhere the proud titles of “My Lord! Your Grace!” to humble Mr. and plain Sir give place. Our Author pictures not from foreign climes the fashions or the follies of the times, But has confin’d the subject of his work to the gay scenes—the circles of New-York. On native themes his Muse displays her powers, If ours the faults, the virtues too are ours. Why should our thoughts to distant countries roam, When each refinement may be found at home? Who travels now to ape the rich or great, to deck an equipage and roll in state, to court the graces, or to dance with ease, Or by hypocrisy to strive to please? Our free-born ancestors such arts despis’d; Genuine sincerity alone they priz’d; their minds, with honest emulation fir’d, to solid good—not ornament—aspir’d; Or, if ambition rous’d a bolder flame, Stern virtue throve, where indolence was shame. But modern youths, with imitative sense, deem taste in dress the proof of excellence; And spurn the meanness of your homespun arts, Since homespun habits would obscure their parts; Whilst all, which aims at splendour and parade, Must come from Europe, and be ready made.
