Leaving a Legacy of Research Exacerbated the Loss Felt by Many Chris O’Brien Lifehouse | March 2015 newsletter Inpatients in the ‘house’ Chris O’Brien Lifehouse becomes Australia’s first fully operational, integrated cancer hospital. We’re thrilled to announce that inpatient services at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse have commenced. On Monday 2 March we welcomed our very first overnight guests to our ‘house’, the culmination of months of preparation and years of fundraising and work to realise the vision of the late Professor Chris O’Brien and his co-founders for an integrated, world-class cancer hospital for NSW. The commencement of inpatient services includes the opening of 125 overnight beds, eight new state-of-the-art operating theatres and a high-tech intensive care unit (ICU). Our CEO Eileen Hannagan commented: “This is a major milestone for our community and for healthcare in Australia.” The new patient offerings will have a Chris O’Brien Lifehouse CEO Eileen Hannagan significant impact on the lives of those living with cancer as well as their carers and speaks with the Hon.

  • Lifehouse by Pete Townshend Pete Townshend Turns Unmade Album, Lifehouse Into a Graphic Novel with Heavy Metal
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Lifehouse by Pete Townshend Pete Townshend Turns Unmade Album, Lifehouse Into a Graphic Novel With Heavy Metal. Back in 1971, prog(ish)-rock band The Who were planning a rock opera movie with Universal Studios called Lifehouse as a follow-up to Tommy . It never happened. Abandoned as a rock opera in favour of the album Who's Next , its songs would appear on various albums and singles by the Who, as well as Pete Townshend' s solo albums, including Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled Again, and Baba O'Riley . Fifty years later, it is fully coming to fruition as a graphic novel with Heavy Metal Magazine . And may even get back on the screen as a result. Lifehouse will be published in July 2020, as a 150-page graphic novel based on Pete Townshend 's screenplay and music, written and drawn by Little Nemo's James Harvey, set in a dystopian world that relates to today's themes of politics, global warming, and technological reliance. In liner notes at the time, Townshend described it, "a fantasy set at a time when rock 'n' roll didn't exist. The world was completely collapsing and the only experience that anybody ever had was through test tubes. In a way they lived as if they were in television programmes. Everything was programmed. The enemies were people who gave us entertainment intravenously, and the heroes were savages who'd kept rock 'n' roll as a primitive force and had gone to live with it in the woods.

  • The Working-Class and Post-War Britain in Pete Townshend's
    Class, Youth, and Dirty Jobs: the working-class and post-war Britain in Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia This chapter examines Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia (1973) and the way in which it depicts continuity and change in the lives of the British working-class in the period that the album documents (1964/5), the political milieu in which it was written (1972/3), and the legacy of the concept that was depicted in the screen version directed by Franc Roddam (1978/9).1 Quadrophenia was recorded and released in a fraught period of industrial militancy in Britain that had not been witnessed since the general strike of 1926.2 The album can be ‘read’ as both a social history of an element of youth culture in the mid-1960s, but also a reflection on contemporary anxieties relating to youth, class, race, and national identity in the period 1972/3.3 Similarly, the cinematic version of Quadrophenia was conceived and directed in 1978/9 in the months prior to and after Margaret Thatcher was swept to power, ushering in a long period of Conservative politics that economically, socially, and culturally reshaped British society.4 Quadrophenia is a significant historical source for ‘reading’ these pivotal years and providing a sense of how musicians and writers were both reflecting and dramatizing a sense of ‘crisis’, ‘continuity’, and ‘change’ in working-class Britain.5 Along with the novels and films of the English ‘new wave’ and contemporary sociological examinations of working-class communities and youth culture, Quadrophenia represents a classic slice of ‘social realism’, social history, and political commentary.
