  • Course Outline and Syllabus the Fab Four and the Stones: How America Surrendered to the Advance Guard of the British Invasion
    Course Outline and Syllabus The Fab Four and the Stones: How America surrendered to the advance guard of the British Invasion. This six-week course takes a closer look at the music that inspired these bands, their roots-based influences, and their output of inspired work that was created in the 1960’s. Topics include: The early days, 1960-62: London, Liverpool and Hamburg: Importing rhythm and blues and rockabilly from the States…real rock and roll bands—what a concept! Watch out, world! The heady days of 1963: Don’t look now, but these guys just might be more than great cover bands…and they are becoming very popular…Beatlemania takes off. We can write songs; 1964: the rock and roll band as a creative force. John and Paul, their yin and yang-like personal and musical differences fueling their creative tension, discover that two heads are better than one. The Stones, meanwhile, keep cranking out covers, and plot their conquest of America, one riff at a time. The middle periods, 1965-66: For the boys from Liverpool, waves of brilliant albums that will last forever—every cut a memorable, sing-along winner. While for the Londoners, an artistic breakthrough with their first all--original record. Mick and Keith’s tempestuous relationship pushes away band founder Brian Jones; the Stones are established as a force in the music world. Prisoners of their own success, 1967-68: How their popularity drove them to great heights—and lowered them to awful depths. It’s a long way from three chords and a cloud of dust.

    Alison Phillips Editor, Daily Mirror Media Masters – September 26, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m here in Canary Wharf, London, and at the offices of the Daily Mirror, joined by their editor in chief, Alison Phillips. Previously in charge of the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, she was also launch editor of New Day, the short-lived newspaper, in 2016. She also leads on addressing gender imbalance at Mirror publisher Reach, heading up their Women Together network, and is this year’s Society of Editor’s popular columnist of the year. Alison, thank you for joining me. Hi. Alison, you were appointed in March. It must have been an incredibly proud moment for you, how is it going? It’s going really well, I think. I hope. It’s been a busy few months, because obviously Reach has bought the Express as well, so there have been a lot of issues going on. But in terms of the actual paper at the Mirror, I hope, I feel, that we’re reaching a point of sustained confidence, which is so important for a paper. We’ve had some real success on campaigns, which I think is really our lifeblood. And I think we’re managing to energise the staff, which is absolutely essential for a well-functioning newspaper. Is it more managerial at the moment with the organisational challenges that you’ve been dealing with? Because you must, as the leader of the business, as the editor, you’ve got so many things you could be doing, you’ve got to choose, having to prioritise.
