Studied in Stockton Wood Road Primary School, Joseph Williams Junior School and Liverpool Institute High School for Boys. Was encouraged by his father at an early age to try out multiple musical instruments. At 15 years old, he met John Lennon in a church festival where they both performed. He later joined Lennon's band, The Quarrymen. In 1960, the group changed their name to The Beatles, wherein other members, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Randolph Peter Best joined afterwards. The Beatles began recording in 1962 which paved its way to international stardom. In 1970, the group was disbanded which left McCartney to pursue a solo singing career. He released a solo album, McCartney, in 1970. Also ventured into music publishing with MPL Communications in 1971. Went on to form a new band, Wings, with his late first wife, Linda joining the group, the same year. Wings released eight albums prior to disbanding in the early 1980s. McCartney tried embarking on a solo career again and released his second album, McCartney II. In 1998, his wife, Linda, died which caused McCartney to go into seclusion. In 2000, he released "A Garland For Linda", a tribute album wherein the proceeds were donated to help survivors of cancer. Remarried in 2002 to Heather Mills. However, McCartney filed for divorce in July 2006 which led to a legal divorce battle with Mills; eventually leaving Mills with more than $40 million in settlement. In October 2011, McCartney married his third and current wife, Nancy Shevell. Apart from the music industry, McCartney also enjoys painting, writing and skiing. A known vegetarian and animal rights activist, McCartney is also a generous philanthropist whose lifetime giving exceeds $1 million. Appears to spend his time in the U.S. and the U.K. with wife, Nancy.

McCartney has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for most records sold, most number number one songs (shared with The Beatles), most covered song (Yesterday) and largest paid audience for a solo concert (more than 350,000 people in Brazil in 1989). McCartney is a vegetarian; actively promotes vegetarianism and is also an animal rights activist. Appears to have been influenced by his first wife, Linda. His children, Stella, Mary and James are all vegetarians. "Long Tall Sally" was the first song McCartney sang publicly. The song was written by American musician, Richard Penniman, popularly known as "Little Richard." McCartney married his current wife, Nancy Shevell at the same venue where he married his first wife, Linda. An animal rights activist, McCartney reportedly avoids riding in stretch limousines with leather seats or use blankets with animal skin coverings or even fake animal prints. His backstage requests include a standby dry cleaner and a dressing room decorated like a Kew Gardens greenhouse with 19 leafy 6-foot plants and four leafy 4-foot plants. He also demands a full vegetarian menu served on an 8-foot banquet table covered in white and 24 large bars of ivory-colored soap. In May 2015, McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell purchased a duplex penthouse in Manhattan, New York for more than $15 million. McCartney learnt transcendental meditation from the late guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India. McCartney was not interested in his music lessons and preferred to learn music 'by ear.' In 2012, McCartney and wife, Nancy were two feet away from a helicopter crash. An Air Harrods helicopter pilot reportedly became disoriented due to bad weather while trying to land in East Sussex, U.K. The incident was labeled as a "serious incident" by government agency, Air Accidents Investigation Branch. McCartney and late wife, Linda, and the band Wings were in Tokyo in January 1980 for a week-long tour. McCartney was caught by a customs officer for carrying a fist-sized bag of marijuana which led to his 9-day imprisonment in a Tokyo prison cell. It reportedly took him three days later to realize change of clothing was allowed. Eleven years after the ordeal, Yoko Ono, wife of McCartney's The Beatles' late band mate, John Lennon, was rumored to have tipped the Japanese authority about McCartney's baggage, to which Ono denied.

  • Derogatory Discourses of Veganism and the Reproduction of Speciesism in UK 1 National Newspapers Bjos 1348 134..152
    The British Journal of Sociology 2011 Volume 62 Issue 1 Vegaphobia: derogatory discourses of veganism and the reproduction of speciesism in UK 1 national newspapers bjos_1348 134..152 Matthew Cole and Karen Morgan Abstract This paper critically examines discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers in 2007. In setting parameters for what can and cannot easily be discussed, domi- nant discourses also help frame understanding. Discourses relating to veganism are therefore presented as contravening commonsense, because they fall outside readily understood meat-eating discourses. Newspapers tend to discredit veganism through ridicule, or as being difficult or impossible to maintain in practice. Vegans are variously stereotyped as ascetics, faddists, sentimentalists, or in some cases, hostile extremists. The overall effect is of a derogatory portrayal of vegans and veganism that we interpret as ‘vegaphobia’. We interpret derogatory discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers as evidence of the cultural reproduction of speciesism, through which veganism is dissociated from its connection with debates concerning nonhuman animals’ rights or liberation. This is problematic in three, interrelated, respects. First, it empirically misrepresents the experience of veganism, and thereby marginalizes vegans. Second, it perpetuates a moral injury to omnivorous readers who are not presented with the opportunity to understand veganism and the challenge to speciesism that it contains. Third, and most seri- ously, it obscures and thereby reproduces

  • Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
    YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

Comments from the Chair First of all, greetings to you all and I hope you enjoy the festive period Things are definitely looking more optimistic for the new year with more vaccines becoming ready for distribution. I know that some of our members have already had their first jab, so things are definitely going in the right direction. It is important not to get too far ahead of ourselves as it will be a huge undertaking to get everyone vaccinated before we can return to something approaching normal life. With this in mind, the Committee has decided that we need to hold the AGM that has been held over since June. Obviously, we cannot have a face-to-face meeting so we will be holding a 'virtual' AGM on Friday February 5th 2021 at 2 pm. We will be sending out all the relevant documentation required in mid-January by email and by post to give you all plenty of time to scrutinise them. The virtual meeting will be held via Zoom and every member is invited to join. We want to encourage as many members as possible to join and we can offer help if you need it. Phil has kindly offered to help members who are new to Zoom the week before the AGM. Further details will follow. By the time you read this, the latest TAT newsletter will have been sent out and you can also book Introduction to Zoom sessions via a link in this latest edition.

    THE PAINTED BEAUTY FROM LIVING ART • PARADOX OF SUMMER • PARTNER PROFILE: CITIZENS BANK The Vol. 1 | Issue 3 | Summer-Fall 2009 A newsletter from Bok Tower Gardens www.boktowergardens.org 2 | The Garden Path | Summer-Fall 2009 FROM THE PRESIDENT What a season we have had! The Gardens have never looked better, our attendance is up and we have more member supporters than ever. The azalea and camellia bloom was spectacular with the weather cooperating to give us an extended spring bloom. It has been nice to see so many visitors enjoying the Gardens. The Moonlight Carillon Concert series was well attended, with the March concert drawing an audience of more than 350. With the daylight savings time change coming earlier this year, the concerts started with the setting sun so that guests could enjoy the Gardens in the sweet light of dusk. We started encouraging guests to picnic in the Gardens for these concerts and plan to introduce other changes to enhance the experience in the future. We have been working on a long range plan for the Gardens with several key points identified as goals. Improving customer service and the quality of our presentations are two of these goals. A large part of what we have to offer is the incredible experience our visitors enjoy. All aspects of the Gardens are being evaluated from the décor and food at the café, to the quality of our plant displays. We want the experience for our visitors to be unique, inspirational and enjoyable for everyone, every time. Gardening can truly be a celebration about the diversity of plants as we’ve seen in our monthly plant celebrations.
