Intro CHRISTIAN: Hello. You're Listening to After the Session. My Intro CHRISTIAN: Hello. You’re listening to A2er The Session. My name is Chris;an Cummings, and this is Season 0, Episode 5 with my good pal, produCer/engineer/mixer David Cole. You know David’s work with The Steve Miller Band, CAKE, Melissa Etheridge, huge hits with Bob Seger, RiChard Marx; he also worked with Tina Turner. He also worked on some of Christopher Guest’s projeCts – “A Mighty Wind,” “Best in Show,” “Wai;ng for Guffman.” He was a staff engineer at Capitol, among other things, and has had a very storied Career. I’ve known David Cole – or DC, as a lot of people Call him – for several years, and I Can’t say enough great things about the guy. First off, he donated his ;me to be my guinea pig as the first-ever guest on this podCast. What you’re about to hear is the first aZempt I ever made at doing this podCast, and he graciously sat down to let me piCk his brain about his Career, and he didn’t need to do it. So I really, really appreCiate his ;me and energy and effort. The dude is very talented and has a lot of valuable informa;on to share with all of us. In fact, I should men;on that A2er The Session – the name of this podCast, yep – I owe Credit to David Cole for that name. He Came up with it a2er a Conversa;on prior to the podCast, and it stuCk. If you guys have been enjoying he shows up to this point, do me a huge favor and rate us in iTunes and share the podCast with your friends. That’s really how we’re going to find an audienCe, is via soCial media by you guys sharing if you like it. So definitely, if you like it, let people know. I hate to ask, it’s kind of CliChé and all that jazz, but I guess it’s sort of par for the Course. Having said that, let’s move forward. I’m going to play three or four snippets of musiC from David Cole’s disCography. Here you go: A2er The Session, Season 0, Episode 5, with produCer/engineer/mixer David Cole. Interview CHRISTIAN: WelCome to the first-ever A2er The Session podCast. You’re David Cole. Thank you for being on the podCast; I really appreCiate it. DAVID: Thanks. Pleasure to be here. CHRISTIAN: As I men;oned earlier, I appreCiate you helping me hash this out, figure it out. DAVID: It’s all good. I think there’s a lot of informa;on out there that people might be interested in, and if I Can help you seed this projeCt, then I’m all for it. CHRISTIAN: Yeah, it’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s the first step on a big journey for me. DAVID: Right on. CHRISTIAN: Do you mind talking a liZle bit about yourself and where you Came from? DAVID: Do the elevator speeCh? CHRISTIAN: Yeah. DAVID: I got my start playing in bands in high sChool. I played guitar and sang. But I figured out when I was about 18 that it wasn’t going to be a Career. I enjoyed musiC, I loved musiC, I grew up listening to tons and tons of musiC; my parents had a turntable, I would listen on headphones and was just engrossed in how musiC was made and how it was put together. But I didn’t think I Could be a traveling musiCian. That didn’t appeal to me. I was on this track to be a photographer and was this Close to going to photography sChool when I made the mistake of reCording with one of my bands. We went in this Crappy liZle outside and reCorded stuff, and I looked in the booth and I saw this guy – the Wizard of Oz with all the Cool gear. He was direC;ng us in how to sing and perform and whiCh way to address the miCrophone. I thought, “This is the Coolest thing ever! How is this a Career?” Well, I did some researCh, I knoCked on every door in Hollywood, I got thrown out of a bunCh of studios, and finally got some adviCe whiCh I thought was preZy brilliant: go get an EleCtroniCs degree, beCause there’s lots of signal flow and impedanCe and frequenCies and numbery stuff that you need to know. So I went to sChool and I got an EleCtroniCs degree. CHRISTIAN: And they were right. DAVID: Yeah, they were totally right. I got enough experienCe under my belt that when I did go back around a2er gradua;ng, I got my foot in the door at Capitol ReCords. It was to make tape Copies, so not a very glamorous job, but I was in the round building, and that was MeCCa for me. CHRISTIAN: Capitol ReCords, if you don’t know what it is and you’re listening, Capitol ReCords is the big round building in Los Angeles proper. DAVID: That’s the one that always Collapses in every disaster movie. It’s the first thing to go. CHRISTIAN: Gets destroyed or blown up, yeah. DAVID: The UFOs aim for that, and the Hollywood sign is next. CHRISTIAN: There’s Corporate offiCes in there – I don’t really know what the layout is in there Currently, but there’s a big reCording studio in there, obviously. DAVID: Yeah, the first two floors are all reCording studios, edi;ng rooms, mixing rooms, mastering rooms. It was my post-graduate work there. I got to learn how to do disC mastering. I was a part of some ClassiCal reCording sessions; lots of roCk, pop, R&B stuff Came through there. It was a great place for me to grow up, really. CHRISTIAN: Who were some of your mentors at Capitol when you first got there? Also, if you’re not aware of Capitol, it’s got a really elaborate history. It’s been there for a very long ;me. DAVID: The building itself was 1955, I believe. Before that they were at Radio ReCorders down on Melrose. One of their first reCords was the Bozo the Clown reCord. CHRISTIAN: [laughs] Really? How about that. DAVID: Certainly Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, The Beatles, The Beach Boys. I mean, Come on, it was… CHRISTIAN: All that happened at Capitol. DAVID: All that happened through Capitol ReCords, though I don’t think The Beatles ever set foot in the building as a group, per se. But you asked me about mentors, and the guy who took the ;me to interview me as a young, wannabe up-and-Comer was a guy named John Kraus. He was an engineer at Capitol; he was managing the studios at the ;me, and was kind of on that end of the Curve of his Career. He got a Couple of Grammys for engineering the Stan Freberg reCords. Stan Freberg was kind of the early Weird Al/poli;Cal humorist, and those were done at Capitol as well, Stan Kenton and lots of other stuff. But John spent the ;me with me and saw something in me that validated him hiring me, the idea that I was going to be an engineer someday. He saw something and gave me a shot. CHRISTIAN: An intangible X factor he saw in you. DAVID: Yeah, whiCh was Cool. They had staff produCers back then who would Come into the studio and use the studio. They’d want to Cut demos and stuff to see if they wanted to sign an ar;st. So every now and then a produCer would Come downstairs – they didn’t have a budget for an outside engineer; they just used the staff guy, and that was me lots of ;mes. So I got to do a lot of projeCts with a guy named John Carter, who everybody just Called “Carter.” Carter signed The Motels back in the day, he did Sammy Hagar. He signed Sammy to the label, Co-wrote and produCed a bunCh of those hits by Sammy, and years later he would manage Sammy during the ChiCkenfoot era. But Carter and I did Tina Turner together. I did a bunCh of demos with him and Tina to try and get her signed. People didn’t want to sign her. CHRISTIAN: Yeah, let me ask you about that. What was the story with Tina Turner? Can you give me an approximate ;meframe here? When was this happening? DAVID: Oh jeez. “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” It’s that album, so whenever that is. CHRISTIAN: I don’t know. So this is around that ;me period? DAVID: Yeah, the Private DanCer album, the breakout single was “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” She was post-Ike & Tina and was doing hotel gigs or whatever to just make ends meet. Everybody thought she was on the other side of her suCCess Curve, but Carter was nuts about her and had an idea and a vision. In order to get people to even submit songs for her to reCord, we had to go in-studio and show people, “this is the kind of stuff we’re looking for.” CHRISTIAN: Wow. DAVID: We did Covers of a bunCh of songs. They all ended up being B-sides for singles and stuff, so they got released eventually. But Tina was a real trooper. She was the real deal. CHRISTIAN: It goes without ques;on that she Can sing.

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia 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 May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

  • HEARTACHE TONIGHT a TRIBUTE to the EAGLES! Technical Rider
    HEARTACHE TONIGHT A TRIBUTE TO THE EAGLES! Technical Rider Heartache Tonight is a six-piece band; 3 guitars, keys, bass and drums. We travel with our own sound tech who runs 4 sets of wireless in-ear monitors for the singers. We do require 4 boom stands for vocals and 3 floor wedge monitor speakers; 2 for the stage left guitar players and one for center stage. (See Stage Plot) Appropriate mic stands and mic cables for 3 guitar amplifiers and 6-piece drum kit. Direct boxes for keyboards, bass and acoustic instruments. We typically carry all our own microphones and backline gear. Contact Sound Engineer Ron Willhoff at [email protected] for more detailed information. Please provide two 8’ X 8’ X 2’ (or equivalent) risers, one for keyboards and one for drums. (See Stage Plot for placement). If a lighting scheme is available, we prefer a three-color wash for the stage lighting and 6 specials. Please provide a qualified tech to run lights. We’d like the lighting to highlight what’s happening onstage, without being obtrusive. A “ballad” lighting set-up for the more dramatic songs (i.e., Desperado) definitely adds to the experience for the audience. If a projector and screen are available we do have a slide show/backdrop we like to use when feasible. We prefer 3 hours for load-in and sound check under normal circumstances. Please provide the easiest access possible and parking for our Ford Transit van and 5 X 10 trailer. Extra hands for the heavy lifting are always appreciated.

I want to go on record for the first time and say that I really apologise for the whole thing. I really love Cat Stevens. I truly respect him as a great singer-songwriter. And now he wants his money. There was a time during the recording when we said, this has a similarity to "Father And Son". Then we purposefully changed those bits. But I do regret not contacting his record company and asking their opinion. Maybe we could have gone As it is, Cat Stevens is now getting 75 percent of royalties from "Fight Test", We could easily have changed the melody but we didn't. I am really sorry that Cat Stevens thinks I'm purposefully plagiarising his work. I am ashamed. There is obviously a fine line between being inspired and stealing. But if anyone wanted to borrow part of a Flaming Lips song, I don't think I'd bother pursuing it. I've got better things to do. Anyway, Cat Stevens is never going to make much money out of us.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas 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 May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.
