  • Walk This Way- Estratégias De Remodelagem Da Banda Aerosmith Direcionadas Ao Mainstream
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação ______________________________________________________________________ Walk this way- Estratégias de remodelagem da banda Aerosmith direcionadas ao mainstream. Um estudo de caso1 Camilla LAPA2 Lorena AROUCHE3 Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, PE RESUMO Aerosmith, banda de hard rock surgida no início da década de 70, precisou ser reconfigurada estrategicamente, incorporando uma linguagem audiovisual na forma de videoclipes e a roupagem pop sonora para consolidar-se no mainstream nas décadas seguintes. A pesquisa, aqui apresentada, configura-se em estudo de caso, que tem como fundamentação teórica os estudos sobre Música pop e Mainstream desenvolvidos por Frederic Martel. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Videoclipe; mainstream; rock. Este artigo pretende investigar de que forma o audiovisual videoclipe aliado a estratégias outras introduziu, definitivamente, a banda, originalmente, hard rock Aerosmith ao universo pop/ mainstream, agregando ao grupo uma nova geração de fãs, telespectadores da MTV. Qual a estratégia de aproximação engajada a seduzir os jovens, utilizada nos videoclipes e nos canções? O Aerosmith ganhou inúmeros prêmios na época, que se configurou em fase pop do grupo. Como a gravadora Geffen moldou uma estratégia para re-estruturar uma banda de rock, que havia saído do foco da mídia há anos, em rock pop? Como surgiu a ideia dos videoclipes, porque eles funcionaram? Tais questões acima supracitadas balizaram e nortearam a pesquisa para o desenvolvimento do trabalho. Figuram como o mote que despertou a curiosidade a respeito das estratégias específicas que tangenciam para o mainstream, utilizadas por empresários, produtores e especialmente a gravadora. Nos anos 80 o videoclipe foi amplamente utilizado como uma forma de divulgação para o artista.

  • The Lakes Country
    The Lakes Country by ARCH MERRILL Reprinted from THE DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE ROCHESTER, NEW YORK COPYRIGHTED, GANNETT COMPANY All Rights Reserved CHAPTER ILLUSTRATIONS BY GERALD MALONEY PRINTED 1944 BY LOUIS HEINDL & SON ROCHESTER, N.Y. FOREWORD One remembers the English lake country for charm of beauty, restorative power for tired bodies, jaded nerves, and restless minds. Beyond all this he cherishes its contribution to English letters. Men lived and wrote beside these moun- tain-encircled waters. Just so the Finger Lakes, Conesus, Hemlock, Canadice, Honeoye, Canandaigua, Seneca, Keuka "old Indian lakes, with names like liquid music," hold our aff ection. Fascinating for geological study, satisfying in beauty, recreative in quiet serenity, the lakes have special significance because men here on their bordering hillsides have entered richly into the abundant experiment of making a life. And we are indeed fortunate that one who understands men, trusts them, and truly likes them has gone to meet the lakes and the people. And because they had for him a like goodwill for that he always carries in his heart they told him gladly their well treasured lore. Discriminating and honest collector, keen observer, inci- sive reporter, word artist, fascinating teller of tales, Arch Merrill makes live again in this t'olume, the days of yes- terday. Here you shall hear "the voice of the lake,"' and stalk a "mystic countryside," come upon a "chosen place," sense stimulation through learning, stand beside the "cradle of aviation" meet a "lovely vixen" and a "vineyard Queen." So shall you also find a good companion through The Lakes Country.

  • Interview with Mr. Richard A. Virden , 2011
    Library of Congress Interview with Mr. Richard A. Virden , 2011 Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project RICHARD A. VIRDEN Interviewed by: Charles Stewart Kennedy Initial interview date: March 7, 2011 Copyright 2011 ASDT Q: When and where were you born? VIRDEN: I was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on July 24, 1941. Q: You want to talk about your family? How about on your father's side? What do you know about them? VIRDEN: My dad's name was Ralph Virden. He was born in 1920 in central Minnesota, in a small town called Waite Park. His father's name was Andrew Virden. Andrew came to Minnesota as a young boy on the “orphan train” from New York, back around the turn of the 19th century. Q: That very famous series of trains. Can you explain what that was? VIRDEN: Well, these were boys from orphanages in New York City who were sent by train to the Midwest to work on farms. My grandfather was only six or seven at the time he made the trip, around 1900. His father was an engineer who was killed in a train accident in upstate New York; Andrew was not sure what happened to his mother, except that she died when he was very young. Interview with Mr. Richard A. Virden , 2011 http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001741 Library of Congress Andrew had identification papers pinned to his back when he arrived in Minnesota, but they were eventually lost, so there's no documented family record. He was not treated very well at the first farm where he was placed — the farmer was expecting an older boy who could do more heavy lifting - but things worked out better when he was eventually able to move to another farm.
