  • The Georgia Satellites Wasn't Mauro's First Band but It
    Jimmy Voegeli P.O. Box 464 Monticello, WI 53570 thejimmys.net 608-206-3600 The Georgia Satellites wasn’t Mauro’s first band but it certainly was the most successful. In the earlier years, however, while the band felt they weren't making any progress on their musical path and had moved on, their English manager took the demo to a small Yorkshire record label, Making Waves, who liked the material and released the demos as the Keep The Faith EP in 1985 (Kerrang #113). The press response to the EP was positive and prompted the band to regroup in the United States. Baird had been playing with the Woodpeckers in North Carolina, while Richards remained in Atlanta with the Hell Hounds, who included both Mauro Magellan (drums) and Rick Price (bass). With Baird essentially joining the Hell Hounds, the Satellites were reborn and American record labels started taking notice of the band. By 1986 only Elektra Records was willing to sign the band, who then reunited with Glixman to record their debut full-length album at Cheshire Sound Studios in Atlanta. The album, Georgia Satellites, was their most successful album, featuring the track "Keep Your Hands To Yourself." The song went all the way to #2 on the Billboard chart, topped only by Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer," It went into extremely heavy MTV rotation. Other minor hits included "Battleship Chains" (#86) and "Can't Stand The Pain." In 1988, the band recorded a cover of The Swinging Blue Jean's 1964 hit "Hippy Hippy Shake" for the movie Cocktail.

Very few rock bands can make this claim. Jason & The Scorchers can, they should, and they do. The band’s story essentially starts in the late 1970s. Warner E. Hodges, the son of country musicians Blanche and Ed Hodges, was living in Nashville after his dad’s retirement from the military. Warner had played drums as a boy for his parents’ USO bands. He knew country music inside out. However, as a teenage rebel, he got hooked on early AC/DC and the first wave of punk rockers, waving that flag with high-decibel pride. In Nashville’s schmaltzy country pop atmosphere of that time, he stood out like a pig in a perfume shop.

    CONSUMER LIBERATION: BABY BOOMERS, HIP BUSINESSES, AND THE CHALLENGE TO MASS CONSUMPTION, 1968-1983 Joshua C. Davis A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of doctor of philosophy in the Department of History Approved by Advisor: Peter Filene Reader: William H. Chafe Reader: William Ferris Reader: Jacquelyn Hall Reader: Jerma A. Jackson Reader: John Kasson Joshua C. Davis ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © 2010 ii ABSTRACT JOSHUA C. DAVIS: Consumer Liberation: Baby Boomers, Hip Businesses, and the Challenge to Mass Consumption, 1968-1983 (Under the direction of Peter G. Filene) In this dissertation, I investigate how young consumers sought to reform America‘s culture of mass consumption by patronizing and founding hip businesses from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. Four major transformations of the 1960s—Black Power, second-wave feminism, the sexual revolution, and the rise of the counterculture—combined with deep discontent with large-scale institutions in business, education, and American public life to motivate young Americans to pursue what I call consumer liberation. I investigate Baby Boomer consumers (born between 1946 and 1964) who developed, expanded and partook in insurgent commercial cultures that they believed comported with the era‘s progressive political and cultural lessons. To this effect, this dissertation investigates black-owned record stores and radio stations, blue jeans makers and retailers, singles bars, and sellers of drug paraphernalia and marijuana. Investigating how Boomers navigated the intersection of consumption and culture represents a vital strategy for assessing how the upheavals of the 1960s transformed young Americans‘ daily lives through the 1970s and well into the early 1980s.
