  • 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.

  • 1 Breakfast at Tiffany's Truman Capote, 1958 I Am Always Drawn Back To
    1 Breakfast at Tiffany's surrounded by photographs of ice-hockey stars, there is always a large bowl of fresh Truman Capote, 1958 flowers that Joe Bell himself arranges with matronly care. That is what he was doing when I came in. I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their "Naturally," he said, rooting a gladiola deep into the bowl, "naturally I wouldn't have neighborhoods.

  • Black Girls Coming of Age: Sexuality and Segregation in New Orleans, 1930-1954
    Black Girls Coming of Age: Sexuality and Segregation in New Orleans, 1930-1954 by Lakisha Michelle Simmons A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History and Women's Studies) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Assistant Professor Hannah Rosen, Co-Chair Associate Professor Michele Mitchell, New York University, Co-Chair Professor Mary C. Kelley Professor Penny M. Von Eschen Associate Professor Jonathan M. Metzl ©Lakisha Michelle Simmons 2009 I dedicate this to my mother and to those who lost their lives as a result of Hurricane Katrina. ii Acknowledgements My first research trip to New Orleans was in the summer of 2002—when I conducted research for my undergraduate thesis. After that first trip, I have not been able to leave the city. This particular project began in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2005—the same summer as Hurricane Katrina. Before and after the storm, everyone I came across in New Orleans has been kind, open and giving. I love the city and I hope my love for New Orleans shows in my writing. Lolita Villavasso Cherrie is one of the people that have made New Orleans feel like a home to me. She has been my friend and my guide to the history of New Orleans. Her knowledge of New Orleans is deep and she has an unending curiosity about history. This project would not be half as good without her insight, intelligence, help and source material. I would also like to thank the members of LA Creole History and Genealogy Society, especially Jari Honora, a talented future historian and my research assistant.

    October 7, 2013 40 FOR FALL Downtown News 17 It’s about time someone gave Cheap Trick the attention they deserve. The Grammy Museum honors the power-pop artistes who have been dishing out hook- heavy tunes for 35 years. Cheap Trick: I Want You to Want Me! opened last month and offers costumes, photographs, origi- nal lyrics, outfits and more from the band whose can’t-get-that-tune-out-of-your- head hits include “Surrender” and “The Dream Police.” As should be expected, the exhibit is heavy on vocalist Robin Zander, drummer Bun E.

  • Naperville Jaycees Announce Cheap Trick and Lucky Boys Confusion at the Last Fling on Sunday September 2, 2018
    For Immediate Release July 9, 2018 Contact: Alex Anderson 773-677-0769 [email protected] Naperville Jaycees Announce Cheap Trick and Lucky Boys Confusion at the Last Fling on Sunday September 2, 2018 The Naperville Jaycees is proud to announce Cheap Trick and Lucky Boys Confusion at the Last Fling on Sunday September 2, 2018. Robin Zander (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead guitar) and Tom Petersson (bass guitar) are part of the very fiber of American music, inspiring and delighting generations with their unique union of massive melodies and razorblade riffs, their own special brand of mischievous wit and maximum rock ‘n’ roll. Since the ‘70s, they’ve been blending elements of pop, punk and even metal in a way that is instantly catchy and recognizable. With timeless classics such as “I Want You to Want Me” and “Surrender,” CHEAP TRICK, now with drummer Daxx Nielsen, are a musical institution. The Rockford, IL band is as vital today as ever, having released three records in the last three years -- BANG ZOOM CRAZY...HELLO (2016), WE’RE ALL ALRIGHT (2017) and CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS (2017) –and toured relentlessly to packed audiences around the world. 2016 saw CHEAP TRICK's long-awaited induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The induction honored both the band and the pioneering sound that has earned them total record sales well in excess of 20 million featured appearances and more than 40 international Gold and Platinum certifications. 2017’s WE'RE ALL ALRIGHT! was yet another undisputed triumph for the band as the album's first single, "Long Time Coming," enjoyed an unprecedented run of 18 weeks at #1 on the Mediabase Classic Rock chart.
