    forEword What is the difference between a graphic designer and a “fine artist,” between he who gives highway signs their typeface and she whose canvasses and sculptures live in museums where admission must be paid? In terms of talent, possibly none. The difference is one of intimacy. We gaze up at our favorite paintings, gingerly circumnavigate the greatest sculptures—we literally put them on pedestals. But we hug our favorite books and records, and kiss their covers, and a particular typeface will forever conjure the road-sign at the turnoff to the summer lodge, that last turn that led to nirvana, the last week of August, the summer after tenth grade. I don’t want to meet the artist (the painter, the sculptor, the violin prodigy, the rock star), for if I did, she’d probably disappoint, and if she didn’t, I’d be tongue-tied. But the graphic designer? I want to clasp him to me, and ask how he did it, and say Thank you. No need to invite George Corsillo into your living room and offer him a nip or a puff—he’s been there all along. He’s been in your album crate since the early 1980s, showcasing John and Olivia at their Grease-iest, Luther Vandross at his sultriest, Benatar, Mellencamp, Yoko. In his toolbox, George always brings his analog chops, learned with the legendary book-jacket designer Paul Bacon; nobody has that facility with typeface or silkscreening who grew up only on computers. He brings, too, a party- down fierceness, a willingness to get his hands dirty (on the Grease jacket, those are George’s teeth marks on the pencil), a scavenger’s resourcefulness (the legs on the Tilt cover? his wife, Susan’s), and a tactful deference to the artist, masking, as needed, Vandross’s girth or Benatar’s pregnancy.

  • John Mellencamp
    JOHN MELLENCAMP Born October 7, 1951 in Seymour, Indiana, John Mellencamp fell in love with music at an early age and was gigging in local bars and fronting a soul band by the time he was 14. His professional music career began in earnest in 1976 when MCA Records released his first album, The Chestnut Street Incident. His manager dubbed him Johnny Cougar out of his belief that nobody would buy a record by anybody named Mellencamp. John protested but was overruled and eventually, of course, reclaimed his birth name as his public name. After releasing a few albums, he broke out in 1979 with his first hit, "I Need A Lover" In 1982 his fifth album American Fool was the year's best-selling album on the strength of two huge hits, "Hurts So Good," and the number 1 single "Jack & Diane,"!! The albums that followed in the 80's, Uh-Huh, Scarecrow, Lonesome Jubilee, and Big Daddy, were released under the name John Cougar Mellencamp. Hit singles during this period included "Crumblin Down," "The Authority Song," "Small Town," "Rain On The Scarecrow," "Lonely Ol Night," ""R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.," "Paper In Fire," "Check It Out," "Cherry Bomb," "Pop Singer," and "Jackie Brown." Mellencamp took the music on the road with a band that many considered the best in the business, playing approximately 1,000 shows around the globe during the decade. In 1985, John's concern for the plight of the American farmer, which had been voiced in the Scarecrow album, brought him together with Willie Nelson and Neil Young in launching Farm Aid.

  • 30 Years of Action for Family Farmers and the Good Food Movement
    30 Years of Action for Family Farmers and the Good Food Movement In the 1980s, family farmers faced a crisis the likes of which hadn’t been seen since the Great Depression. Plummeting farm product prices and land values, rising interest rates, troubled credit markets and unfair lending practices pushed tens of thousands of farms out of business, forcing millions of people off their land. It was in this context that Willie Nelson, joined by John Mellencamp and Neil Young, organized a groundbreaking concert in 1985 to raise awareness and funds to help America’s family farmers, sparking a family farm movement that continues to this day. Dave Matthews joined the Board of Directors in 2001, adding another strong voice to Farm Aid’s work. This timeline features highlights from Farm Aid’s 30 years of action for family farmers and the Good Food Movement. 2005 – When hurricanes 2008 – Farm Aid Board ® 1987 1992 – Farm Aid supported a caravan of 2005 Katrina, Rita and Wilma Members Willie Nelson, Neil 2012 – Farm Aid’s HOMEGROWN Concessions Southern farmers to USDA in Washington, DC, devastated the Gulf Coast Young, John Mellencamp and brought HOMEGROWN Chili to Super Bowl 1985 – On September 22, Farm Aid was held in Dave Matthews wrote an open XLVI organized by the Federation of Southern states, Farm Aid mobilized to at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Champaign, Illinois.

  • ​Bob Dylan Släpper ”Trouble No More"– the Bootleg
    2017-09-20 16:04 CEST Bob Dylan släpper ”Trouble No More"– The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 / 1979-1981 den 3 november Fredagen den 3 november släpper Bob Dylan ”Trouble No More” – The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 / 19179-1981 via Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings. Den mäktiga musikskatten som släpps den 3 november innehåller material från de mest överraskande, kontroversiella och inspirerade åren i Bob Dylans karriär. På 1970-talets slut och 1980-talet början släppte Bob Dylan trilogin ”Slow Train Coming” (1979), ”Saved” (1980) och ”Shot of Love” (1981) – albumen var fyllda av djupt personliga texter och poesi. Musiken och texterna var spirituella och dyrkande och präglades av hans nyfunna kristna tro. Livekonserterna från denna viktiga tid i Bob Dylans karriär innehåller några av de mest intensiva och hyllade framträdandena han gjort - även om denna period också skapade turbulens bland Dylans mest hängivna fans. Albumet släpps i tre olika utgåvor: Deluxe Edition (8 CD + 1 DVD), 2 CD (Disc 1: Live + Disc 2: Live) samt 4 LP-box (Disc 1: Live + Disc 2: Live). I Deluxe Edition med 8 CD och 1 DVD får vi för första gången ta del av hundra osläppta live och studioinspelningar, varav fjorton ej tidigare utgivna sånger på 8 CD. Deluxeboxen innehåller också den exklusiva DVD:n "Trouble No More: A Musical Film" – en ny långfilm från Dylans turné 1980. www.bobdylan.com BOB DYLAN TROUBLE NO MORE THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 13 / 1979-1981 DELUXE EDITION Disc 1: Live 1.
