Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2019 0 ABSTRACT This thesis employs popular culture texts (works of literature, film, and popular music) as companions to the understanding of contemporary America. It is about artworks that form a cultural resistance that enables the appreciation of social issues and cultural decline in the United States. The authors of these artworks are novelist Paul Auster, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, and musician Tom Waits. Born between the late 1940s and the early 1950s, in different parts of the United States, Auster, Jarmusch, and Waits have produced a series of works that share strong similarities. In their novels, films, and songs, they portray an imagined “Other America” that is in stark contrast with the idyllic vision of the American Dream. Their America does not coincide with conventional middle-class values and goals of success, money and social upward mobility. It is an open, tolerant, and egalitarian country inhabited by marginalized “other Americans” who never escape from poverty and failure.

  • John Mayall Performs at the Broward Center on May 12
    May 6, 2015 Media Contact: Savannah Whaley Pierson Grant Public Relations 954.776.1999 ext. 225 Jan Goodheart, Broward Center 954.765.5814 THE GODFATHER OF BRITISH BLUES JOHN MAYALL PERFORMS AT THE BROWARD CENTER ON MAY 12 FORT LAUDERDALE – Legendary blues master John Mayall will perform on Tuesday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. With a career spanning 50 years, the "Godfather of British Blues” has more than 60 albums to his credit, including the all-time classic Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton, the Grammy-nominated Wake Up Call and Stories, which debuted on the Billboard blues charts at #1. In the early ‘60s, Mayall began putting musicians together in London under the banner of The Bluesbreakers that, over the years, featured a succession of rock greats including Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. In 1969, with his popularity blossoming in the U.S., Mayall released an acoustic live album entitled The Turning Point, from which his song "Room to Move" was destined to become a rock classic and for which he received a Gold record. Attracted by the West Coast climate and culture, he moved to Los Angeles and began forming bands with American musicians. Throughout the ‘70s, John became further revered for his many jazz/rock/blues innovations featuring such notable performers as Blue Mitchell, Red Holloway, Larry Taylor and Harvey Mandel. Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, Mayall's released a succession of dynamic albums such as Behind The Iron Curtain, Chicago Line, A Sense of Place and the Wake Up Call that featured guest artists Buddy Guy, Mavis Staples, Albert Collins and Mick Taylor.

  • Tom's Wild Year: the Story of Swordfishtrombones
    Tom's Wild Year: The Story of Swordfishtrombones Classic Rock, June 2013 HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU it was not. Tom Waits did, however, have news for fellow guest Ian Hislop, rounding on the latter after he suggested that Waits promote his new album more audibly, and snarling that he would "promote it in my own damn way". The year was 1983, the album Swordfishtrombones, and the programme was the October 18th edition of Channel 4's dismal yoof-oriented chatshow Loose Talk. Waits had already sidestepped the trap set when host Steve Taylor asked whether the singer was familiar with "the seedier parts" of his native Los Angeles, replying, "You mean like a farming community?" The squirm-inducing interrogation staggered on until Waits lost it with Hislop. In those pre-reality-TV days it was almost shocking. For any Waits fan who'd made the transition to Swordfishtrombones from, say, Small Change, the subtext of the Loose Talk conversation was all too clearly the 33-year-old singer's annoyance at being typecast as a beatnik bum who'd lived in LA's Tropicana Motel and made boozy faux-jazz albums about… well, living in LA's Tropicana Motor Hotel. For Swordfishtrombones was nothing if not a radical rewrite of Waits' nighthawk persona, dispensing not only with the Tropicana but with the many crutches he'd used since making his first album for David Geffen's Asylum label a decade earlier: manager Herb Cohen, producer "Bones" Howe, and (Elektra- )Asylum Records itself. To this day I can recall the mild shock we felt on the NME staff when Swordfishtrombones followed abruptly on the heels of Waits' lush, Howe-helmed soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's big-budget film One from the Heart.
