  • Roots Report: an Interview with Weird Al
    Roots Report: An Interview with Weird Al Okee dokee folks… Almost exactly one year ago I saw Weird Al Yankovic at the Zeiterion in New Bedford. In all honesty it was one of the BEST shows I have EVER seen. It was fun, funny, energetic … basically AWESOME! I had a grin on my face the whole time. Weird Al is a comical/musical genius. I know a lot of you will scoff at this and probably think what he does is easy. It’s not, but he makes it seem that way as he effortlessly genre-shifts and works lyrical magic with the lampoons. Weird Al is bringing his Mandatory Fun Show to the Providence Performing Arts Center on September 14, and I had the opportunity to talk to him about his tour, music and upcoming show. Before I did the interview I asked folks on Facebook what they would like to know about Al, and I based my all of questions on those responses. John Fuzek: What was your favorite video to film? Weird Al: Probably “Tacky” (a parody of “Happy” by Pharrell Williams). It was also one of the easier videos to film because it was all done in one shot. Once we had the DP and the crew rehearsed, my celebrity friends came in. We told them where their marks were, everybody was professional and we knocked it out in a couple of hours. It was great. I got to work with some of the funniest people I know: Jack Black, Aisha Tyler, Kristen Schaal, Margaret Cho and Eric Stonestreet … you know, they’re in my address book.

  • Roots Report: Bitter Fingers
    Roots Report: Bitter Fingers Okee dokee folks …”It’s hard to write a song with bitter fingers.” That line comes from the Elton John/Bernie Taupin song from the Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy album, and I’ve always identified with it. Writing songs when you are not in the proper frame of mind can be a difficult task. Writing anything in general can be challenging when your head isn’t in the game. One’s emotions can fuel inspiration, but they can also dampen it. I have heard a lot of songwriters say, “Never piss off a songwriter. They will write a song about you,” but in my case, it may take a while for the bitter fingers to compose a wrathful rhyme. Unfortunately I’ve had a lot of experience doing this. I really don’t need anymore ill-tempered inspiration, but it just keeps coming. Can you tell that I am in a foul mood? I will stop my venting and get on with writing about music stuff. We are full swing into winter and it doesn’t matter what Punxsutawney Phil has to say; we still have 43 days on the calendar until spring. Just make sure that you have a warm coat and good snow tires and plan your forays well. Even though it may be inhospitable outside there are a lot of great songs to hear inside. Not all of them sour. They are probably, mostly, inspiring and happy. Maybe I need a dose of this musical medicine. Read on. Common Fence Music has a fabulous February in store.

Entered according t.o Act of Congress, In the year 1855, by FURMAN SIIEPPARD, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Penm~ylvania. PREFACE. IT is almost impossible to exaggerate the importance of a thorough study of the Constitution of the United States by the pupils in our schools. It is, nevertheless, a study which has' hitherto been sadly neglected, chiefly, as teachers are aware, for want of a plain, practical, and thorough work upon the subject. It is true there are several text-books which have been used to a greater or less extent; but however meritorious they are in many respects, in others they seem objectionable. Some of them, in aiming at simplicity and brevity, have become trivial and meagre; others are composed chiefly of disquisitions and gene­ ralities, which cannot be made the proper subject.matter of reci­ tation in the school-room; there are still others containing partisan or sectional views, or assuming a controversial air in the discussion of unsettled constitutional questions.

  • Cadenza! the Official Yearbook of the New York Summer Music Festival
    Proudly Presents Cadenza! The Official Yearbook of the New York Summer Music Festival 2007 Season June 24 – August 4, 2007 2 "My Favorite Moments of NYSMF" by Nick Halgren All those moments when Jason Rigby blew my mind into about fifteen pieces, which I will spend many years reassembling and become way better in the process. He’s phenomenal. All those moments when Paul Cohen blew my mind by actually making me realize how a saxophone physically produces different notes. Listening to Billy True play three saxes at once. No lie. My first high G! Sheddin’ those killin’ charts for sax quartet. (This one goes out to Megan) Portraying a wasted Lieutenant Kije in one solo line but only finding out about it later. (Hrm...that was the “Romance” movement. I guess he met his true love in a drunken stupor?) Getting back to my band geek roots! I haven’t been in band or wind ensemble since 8th grade. Having my heart broken when the altos sang their line at the end of Water Night. It’s gorgeous music by my gorgeous man-crush Eric Whitacre! Every straight dude gets one. Taking bets on who will prevail: Battle-Axe Brenda, or Brenda, queen of the land of unicorns and rainbows. Watching Joe try to succeed in speed dating using only a trumpet mouthpiece. Hearing powerful music composed by my peers and performed beautifully by faculty. Trying to eat a calzone from Silver Bullet that could feed a Chinese army. Countless moments of laughter with friends, which would be impossible to explain properly.

  • The Potential of Informative Comedy Music As Supplementary Teaching Material
    http://dx.doi.org/10.7592/EJHR2018.6.3.mckeague European Journal of Humour Research 6 (3) 30–49 www.europeanjournalofhumour.org Lyrical lessons: The potential of informative comedy music as supplementary teaching material Dr. Matthew McKeague Kutztown University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Abstract The comedic arts have provided opportunities for humourists to spread information to audiences, sometimes intentionally and other times as a side effect while trying to create laughter. Educators have also found success incorporating comedy into the classroom with humorous activities. While research regarding comedy as a tool to spread information or educate audiences has focused primarily on literature, broadcast media, and film, the area of informative comedy implemented through music remains relatively unexplored. In this paper, the researcher defines ‘informative comedy’ and takes a critical literacy approach analysing song samples of comedy musician “Weird Al” Yankovic—one of the notable comedic music artists in the 20th and 21st centuries—and discusses how his music could be used in a classroom setting. While comedy such as Yankovic’s is not designed to be an educational tool, the researcher suggests that his songs could be used as supplementary materials in the classroom to reinforce concepts specifically regarding cultural issues through commentary as well as lessons in science and grammar. A central aspect of this exploratory paper involves Yankovic’s mix of comedy and informative content focused on culture in the United States, using the popular music genre to convey ideas in ways that may be more palatable for wider audiences and that could be used to assist classroom instruction.
