  • Thats My Fun Day Aug 25 2019 Isaiah 58
    THAT’S MY FUN DAY UNION HILL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF DENVILLE AUGUST 25, 2019 ISAIAH 58: 9B-14 Several months ago, I was waiting for an elevator somewHere and music was playing in the background. THe song was “Eternal Flame,” one of the biggest Hits from the 1980s all girl pop group THe Bangles. Waiting for that elevator was a lady wHo, ever so faintly, was singing along. Surprise!: Your pastor never learned not to talk to strangers. WHen the doors opened and we got on the elevator, I observed, “You were singing along. WHy did you stop?” PerHaps embarrassed at Having been Heard, sHe quickly replied, “OH, no, I wasn’t singing.” “UH, yes you were. Eternal Flame by the Bangles. 80s classic.” “No, really, I wasn’t,” sHe insisted. Nice voice. Maybe not Susanna Hoffs, but good enougH for the elevator. Like Peter in the courtyard, sHe was determined to deny singing at least until the cock crowed. THere is no sHame in enjoying THe Bangles’ music. I mean, it’s not like I caugHt Her as sHe decided to “Walk Like an Egyptian.” Still, the sound of the song reminded me of Having Had a group poster on my wall at college, and appreciating another band that used Rickenbacker guitars, singing they were “going down to Liverpool to do nothing.” THeir other most popular song of the time was “Manic Monday,” the lament of being too busy, running late, and Having one thing after another someHow go wrong. Maybe I liked it because it seemed to give voice to my conviction that life was one long socially awkward moment someHow spread out over time by God! For all the angst of the work-week stress, the cHorus Heralded the longed-for utopian alternative: Just another Manic Monday; wish it were Sunday: That’s my fun day.

  • Glam Rock and Funk Alter-Egos, Fantasy, and the Performativity of Identities
    REVISTA DE LENGUAS MODERNAS, N.° 26, 2017 / 387-401 / ISSN: 1659-1933 Glam Rock and Funk Alter-Egos, Fantasy, and the Performativity of Identities MONICA BRADLEY Escuela de Lenguas Modernas Universidad de Costa Rica The emergence of desire, and hence our biological response, is thus bound up in our ability to fantasize, to inhabit an imagined scenario that, in turn, ‘produces what we understand as sexuality’ (Whitely 251). Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality” (Queen, “Bohemian Rhapsody”). Abstract The following article explores different conceptions of fantasy and science fiction that characterized many popular music performances in the 1970’s predominantly in the genres of glam rock and funk. By focusing on a few artists that were at the peak of their music careers at this time, such as David Bowie, P-Funk, Queen, Labelle and others, it attempts to un-earth some historical conditions for women, queers, and people of color and reveal how these artists have attempted to escape and transform certain realities by transgressing the boundaries of real/fiction, masculinity/ femininity, race, sexuality, and the “alien”. Key words: Glam rock, Funk, music, science fiction, queer, gender, race Resumen El siguiente artículo explora las diferentes concepciones de fantasía y ciencia ficción que caracterizan muchas formas de actuación en la música popular de los años setentas, predominantemente en los géneros de glam rock y funk. Pondré especial atención en algunos artistas que estuvieron en el ápice de su carrera musical en este tiempo como David Bowie, Recepción: 29-03-16 Aceptación: 12-12-16 388 REVISTA DE LENGUAS MODERNAS, N.° 26, 2017 / 387-401 / ISSN: 1659-1933 P-Funk, Queen, Labelle, y otros quienes intentaron traer a la realidad temas sobre condiciones históricas en mujeres, queers y personas de color .
