    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

There is a huge quantity of information about Clint Eastwood his life and career on numerous websites, books etc. We focus mainly on his connection to The Everly Brothers and in particular to Phil Everly plus brief overview of his career. American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965). He rose to fame for playing the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy of spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) during the 1960s, and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool) during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with several others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). These films in particular, as well as others including Play Misty for Me (1971), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Pale Rider (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Bridges of Madison County (1995) and Gran Torino (2008), have all received commercial success and critical acclaim.

  • September 12, 2011 Remembering THEN
    Along the Way - A salute to NOW and THEN September 12, 2011 Remembering THEN by Scott "Scotto" Savitt with Dana Cordero The only way to set the scene for what happened THEN is to start with background about what led to the Monkees recording "That Was Then, This Is Now," the title song from the Mosquitos 1985 EP. The Mosquitos were one of the most sought after bands in the coolest retro "back to the 60s" New York club scene at the time. They shared bills with bands like the Fuzztones, the Vipers, The Cheepskates and The Secret Service, did tours upstate and even opened for the Ramones. The band was on fire in 1985. Thanks to Jeff Tamarkin, former editor of Goldmine magazine and executive producer of the compilation tape "Garage Sale," the Mosquitos gained media attention when the tape, released in connection with Goldmine magazine, included Vance's song, "Darn Well." Interest continued with the release of the Mosquitos EP. A Newsday article noted that the track “I Know A Secret” sounded like "it was inadvertently left off “Beatles ‘65” and singled out the title song as Vance's "finest song, with fresh images, and architectural sense of structure, and the kind of hook that was made to blast from car radios. " Several events were key factors in exposure for the Mosquitos and, ultimately for Vance's song. The list of 1985 Nominess for the New York Music Awards debut event in 1986 included the Mosquitos. The event, founded by Robbie Woliver, New York Times journalist and owner of the legendary Folk City venue in Greenwich Village, honors established and unsigned music artists from New York.
