Sign up now! PROLOGUE 18 YEARS EARLIER Their “little miracle,” as they had taken to calling her, was only a day old. They swaddled her, folding and tucking the pink blanket around her just like the nurse had shown them. The setting Texas sun bathed their fields in fiery oranges and golds, and there seemed to be no better time to give their baby a tour of the farm. The man and his wife stepped out onto the porch. He carried the pink bundle like she was made out of glass and might break. The rich brown of his wife’s hair stirred in the breeze as she smoothed the blankets. They sat in the wicker rocking chairs and gazed out over the cattle grazing peacefully. “Welcome to paradise, little one,” the man said. Looking down at his perfect baby girl, his little miracle, the man felt happiness in a way he never had before. His wife hummed in contentment, echoing his satisfaction. His eyes were still on the baby when he felt a change around them. The cows went still, some of their heads still lowered to the grass. The wind stopped rustling the tall weeds that he hadn’t gotten around to mowing. The air felt heavy, the way it did before a storm broke.

  • When the President Talks to God: a Rhetorical Criticism of Anti-Bush Protest Music
    WHEN THE PRESIDENT TALKS TO GOD: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF ANTI-BUSH PROTEST MUSIC Megan O'Byrne A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2008 Committee: Michael L. Butterworth, Advisor Lara Martin Lengel Ellen W. Gorsevski ii ABSTRACT Michael L. Butterworth, Advisor Anti-war protest music has re-emerged onto the American songscape since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the resulting military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This study works to explicate the ways in which protest music functions in the resultant culture of war. Protest music, as it reflects and creates culture, represents one possible site of productive change. Chapter 1 examines Ani DiFranco’s song “Self Evident” which was written as an immediate reaction to 9/11. Throughout this chapter I argue that protest music has the potential to work as a vehicle for consciousness raising. In Chapter 2 I consider the constitutive elements in the Bright Eyes song “When the President Talks to God.” Performed on The Tonight Show in May 2005, this song represents one of the first performances of dissent on national television after 9/11. This chapter also examines the limitations of Charland’s conception of the constituted public as it pertains to diverse and heterogeneous audiences. Ultimately, I argue that consciousness raising through music has the potential to bring listeners into the constituted subject position of those who dissent against war. iii Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Lewis (Lee) Snyder in whose shadow I will always walk.

  • Fantastic Fakes!
    Read and listen. Fantastic Fakes! What is a tribute band? Well, it’s an unknown band which imitates a famous pop music band. There are many singers and musicians who imitate individual rock stars, too. So, who are the most popular bands for imitation? Unsurprisingly, there are lots of Beatles tribute bands – The Plastic Beatles, The Bogus Beatles, The Baetles – and the Rolling Stones have also got several tribute bands – The Counterfeit Stones, Rolling Stoned, The 21st Century Stones. But people don’t copy only the great historic rock bands and singers. Popular new groups have got tribute bands, too. Here are some of them: Coolplayers Yes, this is obviously a tribute band of the great British band, Coldplay. The tribute band come from Yarmouth, on the east coast of the UK. New Horizons Digital 1 • Unit 3 pp.48–49 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE Their first gig was in October 2003, and the members are all enthusiastic Coldplay fans: Wayne Smith, 18 – vocals, keyboards and guitar; Guy Dobson, 16 – bass guitar; Jim Fenton, 20 – lead guitar; Neil Travis, 17 – drums; Tracy Cook, 18 – strings and backing vocals. They are good musicians and believe that the quality of their performances is the same as their heroes’, Coldplay! Elvis Presley Singer Dave Edmonds is only 20 years old but he is a big fan of ‘The King’ and can imitate his voice and mannerisms perfectly. He comes from Liverpool, where he sings in a large number of clubs and pubs on Friday and Saturday nights. He isn’t a professional musician, and he works as a mechanic in a garage during the day, but he’s a real professional on stage! Mean Day This is a tribute band to the punk legends, Green Day.
