  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Henchmen and Hirelings
    Adventurers are a cut above the commoners inhabit- ing the world—they have talent, specialized training, and access to magic that makes them akin to gods among mortals. Well, maybe not that far, but heroes are something special. Who else can beard the dragon in its lair? Who else can survive a trap-laden gauntlet to root out the goblin bandits lurking in the cavern beyond? Who else can put down zombies by the dozens? The thing is, for all that heroes can accomplish beyond most peoples’ wildest imagining, adventur- ers need the common people. Nonadventuring men and women do the things that heroes are unable or unwilling to do. What good is a knight without the suit of armor someone else made? How is the paladin going to survive his or her quest without a sword in hand? Horses? Someone has to breed them and train them. And when the adventure is done, when the heroes return, burdened with their spoils, they’re bound to be craving a hot meal and warm bed that only the sleepy little communities on the frontier can provide. The mundane tasks fall to the ordinary people to handle, and without those people, there’s little point to squaring off against monsters and plun- dering their vaults. Commoners are content to leave the adventuring Unearthed Arcana business to the professionals. They happily take their coins and provide services in return. They listen to the tales of high adventure, danger, and daring, living through the stories the adventurers tell, but they are also relieved to go about their lives without having Henchmen to follow in those people's steps or face those same challenges.

CONTENTS 1 Spiritual Reality: What It Is 5 2 Spiritual Reality: Its Relationships 23 3 Spiritual Reality: How to Enter In 35 4 Obsession: What It Is 43 5 Obsession: Causes and Deliverance 53 Scripture quotations are from the American Standard Version (1901) of the Bible unless otherwise indicated. Spiritual Reality: What It Is God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4.24) 1 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall 1 guide you into all the truth. (John 16.13) And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. (1 John 5.7) One thing which God’s people should take note of is that every spiritual matter has its reality before God. If what we have touched is mere appearance and not reality we shall find that it is of no spiritual value whatsoever. What then is spiritual reality? The reality of a spiritual thing is something spiritual not material. Although spiritual reality is often expressed in words, those words, however many, are not the reality. Although spiritual reality needs to be disclosed in our lives, the set formalities of our lives are not reality. Although spiritual reality must be manifested in conduct, human-manufactured pretension is not reality.
