    TESTIMONIALS "I've used Thayers products for years and I always keep a bottle (of Thayers Dry Mouth Spray) in the pit during performances." - Rob Thomas, Lead Vocalist Matchbox 20, Solo Artist, Grammy Winner Rob Thomas with Thayers VP, John R. Gehr "I've been using Thayers Slippery Elm for years. I don't leave home without them. As soon as my throat is feeling dry, I reach for my Slippery Elm. I can go on stage free of worry about delivering my songs. Thayers Slippery Elm is the best friend a singer could have.” - Mavis Staples, Soul and gospel legend, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, named to VH1’s 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll Mavis Staples “There are only 2 things I need on stage each night, my guitar and Thayers Dry Mouth Spray. When you tour 300 days out of the year, your throat, just like any muscle gets tired. If I dissolve a couple of Thayers Slippery Elm Lozenges 10 minutes before I go on, I know that I will be warmed up and while fighting through a set, sometimes I need something to keep my throat moist. That is when I use the spray. I love Thayers, because they are a family company with great people. They know how to treat their art- ists." Casey, Matt, and JT of Hawthorne Heights with Thayers VP, John R. Gehr -JT Woodruff, Lead Vocalist Hawthorne Heights "Thayers Slippery Elm is like a gift from the throat gods!" -Dane Cook, Comedian, Actor Rolling Stone Magazine's "Hot Comic," Comedy Central's Favorite Standup Comedian, and Stuff Magazine's Coolest Comic of the Year.

APRIL 10 – 13 | HILTON ATLANTA • 1 We l c o m e Welcome to the 105th Annual Meeting of the Organization of American Historians! Meeting themes are rarely “ripped from the headlines” as if they were scripts from television’s Law and Order. However, the heated national debate over comprehensive immigration reform calls attention to American history’s perennial themes: the peopling of the United States and the great vitality derived from the diversity of the American population. “Crossing Borders,” then, seemed the appropriate choice to be the thematic focus of this year’s meeting.

  • Discourse on Disco
    Chapter 1: Introduction to the cultural context of electronic dance music The rhythmic structures of dance music arise primarily from the genre’s focus on moving dancers, but they reveal other influences as well. The poumtchak pattern has strong associations with both disco music and various genres of electronic dance music, and these associations affect the pattern’s presence in popular music in general. Its status and musical role there has varied according to the reputation of these genres. In the following introduction I will not present a complete history of related contributors, places, or events but rather examine those developments that shaped prevailing opinions and fields of tension within electronic dance music culture in particular. This culture in turn affects the choices that must be made in dance music production, for example involving the poumtchak pattern. My historical overview extends from the 1970s to the 1990s and covers predominantly the disco era, the Chicago house scene, the acid house/rave era, and the post-rave club-oriented house scene in England.5 The disco era of the 1970s DISCOURSE ON DISCO The image of John Travolta in his disco suit from the 1977 motion picture Saturday Night Fever has become an icon of the disco era and its popularity. Like Blackboard Jungle and Rock Around the Clock two decades earlier, this movie was an important vehicle for the distribution of a new dance music culture to America and the entire Western world, and the impact of its construction of disco was gigantic.6 It became a model for local disco cultures around the world and comprised the core of a common understanding of disco in mainstream popular music culture.

  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern 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 August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

  • American Idol Vets Star in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
    American Idol Vets Star in Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo are starring in the touring company of the smash musical Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which will be performed at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) from November 4 through 9. Young, who plays the lead role of Joseph, and DeGarmo, who plays the narrator, got their big break on the smash television singing competition, “American Idol.” DeGarmo was the runner-up on the show’s third season. Young was on the fifth season, where he finished seventh. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice teamed up to bring Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to life. The story is based on the “coat of many colors” story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis. The show is directed and choreographed by Tony® Award-winner Andy Blankenbuehler. The chance to work on a stage production together had tremendous appeal to DeGarmo and Young, who are married. “It’s such a rare opportunity in this industry to work on a show that’s family friendly,” DeGarmo told Motif. “It’s a beloved story, a beloved show. I truly believe it’s one of the classics.” “This is definitely a dream come true (for DeGarmo),” Young said, noting DeGarmo always wanted to play the narrator in the show. Young is proud to be part of a show that appeals to the “American Idol” fan base, which ranges from young children to senior citizens. “It’s a really great show about second chances and family and the true meaning of friendship,” Young said, noting the show’s high spirits are infectious: “Everyone’s on their feet having a blast with us.” DeGarmo and Young have been very busy since their days on American Idol.
