  • 2015 National Sports and Entertainment History Bee Round 1
    2015 National Sports and Entertainment History Bee Round 1 1. In this film, one character is called “almost a guy you can’t hit” after the protagonist orders cranberry juice at a bar. In this film, a misspelling of the word “citizen” on an envelope causes one character’s identity to be revealed. One character in this remake of Infernal Affairs was loosely based on Whitey Bulger, that man was portrayed by Jack Nicholson. For the point, name this 2006 best picture winner directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. ANSWER: The Departed 2. This man was once part of a lopsided trade included relief pitchers Greg Caderay and Eric Plunk. He played for nine different teams between 1979 and 2003, including four stints with his original team, the Oakland Athletics. He holds Major League records for, unintentional walks, most runs scored, and leadoff home runs. For the point, name this outfielder who is best remembered for breaking Lou Brock’s record for the most career stolen bases, appropriately earning him the nickname "The Man of Steal". ANSWER: Rickey Henderson 3. One sequel to this book is entitled Small Steps, and follows Theodore Johnson. A song in this book goes “If only if only the woodpecker cries, the bark on the trees was as soft as the skies” and at one point, the protagonist takes refuge on “God’s thumb.” The protagonist is sent to Camp Green Lake after he is accused of stealing a pair of shoes, and his first name is his last name spelled backwards.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.
