    rationale Rockingham County is faced with daunting economic challenges. The exo- dus of its textile manufacturing base has not only left the county in search of new employment opportunities but has also left the county in search of a new identity. The types of relatively low skilled work that afforded our students’ parents and grandparents with a family-sustaining wage have all but disappeared. Hence, there exists much uncertainty as to what will emerge as the new economic driver within the county. We believe that Rock- ingham County Schools, in collaboration Spray Cotton Mill Eden, NC with Rockingham Community College (RCC) along with business and community leaders, have to play a leadership role in addressing what we perceive to be a growing gap between the world of education and the world of work. If we are to improve the economic condition of our community, we must work in a consorted effort to close the gap between the technical skills that our citizens currently possess and those skills that are required for available careers. We must develop the types of career skills within our young people that are essential to success in the workforce, and we have to work together to develop the kind of thinking skills that will not only afford our students success within the current job market but will also grant them the capacity to adapt to the demands of such a rapidly changing economy. Our stu- dents will undoubtably be confronted with perplexing problems and unprecedented challenges within their lifetime. If we are to meet such challenges, then we are going to need the contributions of all of our young people.

  • Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
    Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.

Van’s engineer Rian Johnson flew his own RV-7A to Sun ‘n Fun and this happened. Send us your best caption, preferably in an e-mail with ‘caption contest’ in the header. The winner gets a pair of Van’s hats, autographed by Van himself. The decision of the judges, however capricious, arbitrary or unpredictable, is final. Grant Krueger took this photo at Mandeville, on the South Island of New Zealand. I think I know what it is... or will be. What’s your guess? 2 COOL MACHINES AT VAN’S KEN SCOTT When you say “cool ma- chines at Van’s” everyone who’s had a shop tour imme- diately thinks of the big punch presses whacking their way through miles of aluminum sheet, changing bits on the fly and punching hole patterns accurate to a couple thou- sandths of an inch. Punch presses are pretty high on the “cool” scale, but there are quite a few other machines in our production shop that score just as well. Some of them are big and bolted to the floor, some of them are small and hide under benches until they’re needed, but all them allow us to do very specific jobs quickly and accurately.

EARL SLICK p98 & MORE... Recording His Final Album Future Publishing Limited, Quay House, The Ambury, Bath, BA1 1UA Telephone 01225 442244 Email [email protected] Online www.guitarist.co.uk Changes Like many others, I think everyone at Guitarist had more or less considered David Bowie to be immortal. Likewise, Lemmy seemed too much a part of rock’s scenery to leave us so soon. As we went to press with this issue, we also learned the sad news that Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey had passed (look out for a full tribute next month), making this winter the worst in memory for losing legends. The only very slight consolation for all this is that it prompted us to listen again to the music that made them household names. In the case of Bowie, it was a reminder of the astonishing breadth and ambition of his music-making (see cover feature, p76). Rightly regarded as classic now, Bowie’s music must have been sensational when he was starting out – and I’m sure not everyone ‘got it’ at the time. Passing years have a habit of making the new and strange in music feel comfortably familiar, and finally classic. That thought has been a reminder of the importance of seeking out uncommon sounds, and not just sticking to your comfort zone of old favourites.
