    TATE STREET, THAT GREAT STREET: CULTURE, COMMUNITY, AND MEMORY IN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA by Ian Christian Pasquini A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2015 Approved by: ____________________________ Dr. Aaron Shapiro ____________________________ Dr. John Cox ____________________________ Dr. Dan Dupre ii ©2015 Ian Pasquini ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT IAN CHRISTIAN PASQUINI. Tate Street, That Great Street: Culture, Community, and Memory in Greensboro, North Carolina (Under the direction of DR. AARON SHAPIRO) Tate Street represents a cultural center in Greensboro, North Carolina. This work outlines the varying social groups, organizations, and institutions that defined Tate Street’s cultural identity between 1960 and 1990. Tate’s venues and spaces acted as backdrops to the cultural shifts on Tate Street. Three venues act as subjects through which to research Tate Street. Through a collection of interviews, art, video, magazines, newspapers, and pictures, this work connects with historical memory to outline Tate’s local and national historical significance. The work connects with a historical documentary made up of interviews as well as primary source materials to engage with Tate’s historical actors. iv DEDICATION Engaging with Tate’s history required the dedication of a small village of interested parties. I would be remiss in not thanking Tate’s community at large – many people have offered both their time and energy to assisting this project and will remain unheralded. This work is a reflection of the strength of Tate’s community which has both inspired and welcomed my inquiries.

    David Menconi “But tonight, we’re experiencing something much more demented. Something much more American. And something much more crazy. I put it to you, Bob: Goddammit, what’s goin’ on?” —Dexter Romweber, “2 Headed Cow” (1986) (Or as William Carlos Williams put it 63 years earlier: “The Pure Products of America/Go crazy.”) To the larger world outside the Southeastern college towns of Chapel Hill and Athens, Flat Duo Jets’ biggest brush up against the mainstream came with the self-titled first album comprising the heart of this collection. That was 1990’s “Flat Duo Jets,” a gonzo blast of interstellar rockabilly firepower that turned Jack White, X’s Exene Cervenka and oth- er latterday American underground-rock stars into fans and acolytes. In its wake, the Jets toured America with The Cramps and played “Late Night with David Letterman,” astounding audiences with rock ’n’ roll as pure and uncut as anybody was making in the days B.N. (Before Nirvana). But that kind of passionate devotion was nothing new for the Jets. For years, they’d been turning heads and blowing minds in their Chapel Hill home- town as a veritable rite of passage for music-scene denizens of a certain age. Just about everyone in town from that era has a story about happening across the Jets in their mid-’80s salad days, often performing in some terri- bly unlikely place – record store, coffeeshop, hallway, even the middle of the street – channeling some far-off mojo that seemed to open portals to the past and future at the same time.

De adolescente tenía todos sus discos. Es uno de los secretos mejor guardados del rock’n’roll underground.” Jack White /The White Stripes “Carrboro” es el cuarto álbum de Dex Romweber para Bloodshot Records después de “Ruins of Berlin” (2009), “Is That You In The Blue?” (2011), y “Images 13” (2014). 13 canciones entre composiciones originales y versiones de lo más dispar: de T.

Carrboro es el nombre la pequeña ciudad natal de Dex Romweber, en el estado sureño de North Carolina. Durante un cuarto de siglo Dexter Romweber ha errado entre los anaqueles polvorientos de una embrujada trastienda sureña, repletos de objetos estrambóticos, perfeccionando un extraordinario idioma sonoro. Una original y desasosegante pócima a base de proto-rockabilly, surf, garage, y blues. Un preparado que nadie, NADIE, prepara como Dexter. Con los legendarios Flat Duo Jets, a duo con su hermana Sarah, o en solitario, Dex destila el dogma “menos es más” del punk en un esencial brebaje no adulterado de puro rock and roll underground americano.

It Might Get Loud tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist’s musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play. Long Synopsis Who hasn't wanted to be a rock star, join a band or play electric guitar? Music resonates, moves and inspires us. Strummed through the fingers of The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White, somehow it does more. Such is the premise of It Might Get Loud, a new documentary conceived by producer Thomas Tull. It Might Get Loud isn't like any other rock'n roll documentary.

    What Are You Going to Do with the Rest of Your Life? A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Kelly K. Ferguson May 2014 © 2014 Kelly K Ferguon. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled What Are You Going to Do with the Rest of Your Life? by KELLY K. FERGUON has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Dinty W. Moore Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT FERGUSON KELLY K., Ph.D..May 2014, English What Are You Going to Do with the Rest of Your Life? Director of Dissertation: Dinty W. Moore This dissertation is comprised of two sections: a critical essay entitled "Postmodern Persona Creative Nonfiction" and an essay collection, "What Are You Going to Do With the Rest of Your Life?" "Postmodern Persona in Creative Nonfiction" examines the use of multiple personas within nonfiction. For writers working within the era of Postmodernism, the self-identified fractured self often requires a multi-voiced persona to best explore complicated issues. The critical essay then examines these personas as they manifest in Truman Capote, Alison Bechdel, Janet Malcolm, and D.J. Waldie, as well as in the author's own work. "What Are You Going to Do With the Rest of Your Life?" contains essays that examine notions of identity and self as affected by sense of place, race, education, job status, and external appearances.
