The Cyclical Influence of Society and Music Throughout time, there have been discussions over the age-old question: ‘which came first, the chicken or the egg?’ This type of question applies to many other areas of life and it is the basis for this paper. The question that this paper explores is ‘does society change music, or does music change society?’ This paper will show that neither came first, but rather they exist simultaneously in a never-ending cycle. By discussing the influences of two musical icons, Pearl Jam and Lady Gaga, this paper will show the perpetual cycle of how society and music influence each other. Society is constantly changing and there are always movements that gain public attention. Whether that attention is positive or negative does not matter; it is attention nonetheless.

  • A Vote for Change and US Strategy for North
    A Vote for Change and U.S. Strategy for North American Integration Christopher Sands, Hudson Institute, USA PNA North American Policy Brief no. 1 1 October 2008 The 2008 presidential election in the United States has become paradoxical. On the one hand, the dominant theme of virtually every candidate in the party primaries was “change.” And since there is no incumbent candidate (neither a sitting president nor a sitting vice president is running this year) for the first time since 1928, there will be a break with the current administration regardless of who wins the presidency. And on the other hand, turbulent financial markets, an unsettling conflict with global terrorist groups, and the dislocating effects of globalization have led many voters to express a desire for a change – away from the changes that they have experienced since the end of the Cold War. Americans want a change in the White House to bring them stability in an uncertain world. It is worth remembering that compared to Europe, North America has been a conservative continent. Noted political scientist and sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset once said that Canada was, “a country of evolution, not revolution,” in contrast with the United States. In Mexico, the legacy of bloodshed and violence that accompanied the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) left its mark, and helped produce the most durable one party state of the 20 th century; when the country embraced democratic politics in the 1990s in the midst of economic and other changes, the conservative side of the Mexican political culture remained strong. The United States is perhaps the only one of the three North American countries where a major party candidate could give himself the label of “maverick” and benefit politically from the association with a strong-willed and untamed colt.

  • Channing Pollock
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From The American Stage: Writing on Theater from Washington Irving to Tony Kushner , edited by Laurence Senelick (The Library of America, 2010 ), pages 212 –225 . Reprinted from The Footlights: Fore and Aft (1911 ). CHANNING POLLOCK Channing Pollock ( 1880 –1946 ) was the all-purpose Broadway facto - tum. He served his apprenticeship as dramatic critic of The Washing - ton Post in 1898 , before becoming a press agent for the managers William A. Brady and the Shuberts. Without any sense of conflict of interest, he regularly reviewed plays for several publications, including The Smart Set and The Green Book , often biting the hands that had fed him. He also promoted his own works for the stage, including a dramatization of Frank Norris’s The Pit . Pollock contributed sketches to three versions of the Ziegfeld Follies (1911 , 1915 , and 1921 ), compos - ing the English lyrics for “My Man,” Fanny Brice’s rendition of the French torch song “Mon Homme.” His sanctimonious anti-war play The Fool was a popular if not a critical success in 1924 , but his dramatic career was dealt a lethal blow in 1931 when Dorothy Parker wrote of his latest effort: “ The House Beautiful is the play lousy.” Pollock’s am - ple store of stage lore is illustrated in his essay “Stage Struck,” from his collection The Footlights Fore and Aft (1911 ), which indicates just how popular the theatre as a profession and how widespread the con - cept of “stardom” had become since the days of Anna Cora Mowatt. Stage Struck Being a diagnosis of the disease, and a description of its symptoms, which has the rare medical merit of attempting a cure at the same time.

  • 1 When They Said Sit Down, I Stood Up
    1 When They Said Sit Down, I Stood Up: Springsteen’s Social Conscience, Activism, and Fan Response Susan Hamburger, Ph.D. The Pennsylvania State University “Glory Days: A Bruce Springsteen Symposium” Monmouth University, West Long Branch, New Jersey September 9, 2005 Bruce Springsteen’s increasing politicization from supporting other musicians’ causes (No Nukes and Amnesty International) to social issues he personally embraces (food banks) inspires audiences to follow his lead with charitable causes. Whether donating food, money, or labor to community food banks, raising money for the Kristen Ann Carr Fund for cancer research, or saving the Tillie façade on Palace Amusements, Springsteen’s fans draw inspiration from his example. Yet dissention among fans arose when Bruce joined Vote for Change to actively campaign for John Kerry. This paper explores the interplay between Bruce’s activism and fan reaction. From singing at the No Nukes concerts to food bank exhortations from the stage to actively campaigning for John Kerry, Bruce Springsteen has consciously and thoughtfully selected the causes he supports and speaks out on behalf of. Although Bruce played at a benefit for presidential candidate, George McGovern in 1972, he did not involve himself in politics or causes, keeping a low profile. Beginning with the Musicians United for Safe Energy (M.U.S.E.) anti-nuclear benefit concerts, September 22-23, 1979, 2 filmed and released as No Nukes, Bruce’s association with grassroots activism and benefit concerts set the stage for his first phase of charitable work—showing up and playing music. By lending his musicianship to the benefit, Bruce implied that he supported the anti-nuclear movement yet he did not speak out on M.U.S.E.’s behalf either in the concert program or from the stage.
