    Journal of the Music & Entertainment Industry Educators Association Volume 14, Number 1 (2014) Bruce Ronkin, Editor Northeastern University Published with Support from Songs As Branding Platforms? A Historical Analysis of People, Places, and Products in Pop Music Lyrics Storm Gloor University of Colorado Denver Abstract Artists have become decidedly more accustomed to partnering with product marketers. Typically, though, the relationships have involved tour sponsorships, endorsements, or the use of the artist’s music in commer- cials. There are plenty of examples of using popular music in advertising. However, how often has there been advertising in popular music? Artists are in a sense “brands.” Many of them appear to promote or acquaint au- diences with their lifestyles through the music they create. Popular songs can serve not only as a mechanism for the subtle marketing of commer- cial consumer products, but also as a platform for marketing artists. Three types of branding devices are typically employed by songwriters: the men- tion of specific product brands, geographical places including cities and states, and well-known people (e.g., celebrities, cultural icons, and politi- cians). The aim of this study is to identify just how often these three types of lyrical references have occurred in popular songs through the years. How frequently have popular songs employed lyrics that may be serving the purpose of branding or advertising consumer products or the artists themselves, and are there observable trends regarding the practice over

The series of events, several of which were filled to capacity, was sponsored by CLUB and provided almost non-stop entertainment during the Weekend. A Wilkommen featured Burgenleander Dancers and an accordianist on Friday night. Saturday's two circus performances sandwiched the parade while a beef and brew supper and German goodtime offset the football game against Wagner College. "Sigma's Steins" was the winning parade float, but the grid contest ended in a stalemate, the Indians first tie of the season, 20-20. Photos by Sue Castner and Rod Benmuvhar 2.

  • Leisure's Legacy
    LEISURE STUDIES IN A GLOBAL Leisure’s ERA Legacy Challenging the Common Sense View of Free Time ROBERT A. STEBBINS Leisure Studies in a Global Era Series Editors Karl Spracklen Leeds Beckett University Leeds, United Kingdom Karen Fox University of Alberta Edmonton, Canada In this book series, we defend leisure as a meaningful, theoretical, fram- ing concept; and critical studies of leisure as a worthwhile intellectual and pedagogical activity. This is what makes this book series distinctive: we want to enhance the discipline of leisure studies and open it up to a richer range of ideas; and, conversely, we want sociology, cultural geog- raphies and other social sciences and humanities to open up to engaging with critical and rigorous arguments from leisure studies. Getting beyond concerns about the grand project of leisure, we will use the series to dem- onstrate that leisure theory is central to understanding wider debates about identity, postmodernity and globalisation in contemporary societ- ies across the world. The series combines the search for local, qualitatively rich accounts of everyday leisure with the international reach of debates in politics, leisure and social and cultural theory. In doing this, we will show that critical studies of leisure can and should continue to play a central role in understanding society. The scope will be global, striving to be truly international and truly diverse in the range of authors and topics. Editorial Board John Connell, Professor of Geography, University of Sydney, USA Yoshitaka Mori, Associate Professor, Tokyo University of the Arts, Japan Smitha Radhakrishnan, Assistant Professor, Wellesley College, USA Diane M.
