John was concerned that another singer/songwriter couple might son, Sean was born, John do an album of this format before us, and Lennon’s life had seen some thought it was important to do this album right away. But nobody did it, and nobody has unaccustomed tranquillity, done it since then. It was probably not a very later called the Dakota Days. easy record to make for any singer/songwriter couple.

The exchange of roles which they excercised, gave food for thought “After the five-year hiatus, for John to come to all couples then and now. out and do his album, the whole of the music industry was totally, totally excited and they But at the time, the wider world could not all wanted John’s music and was not very comprehend what John was doing.

So, while we were withdrawal as a recording artist was recording, John really had to protect me, in so unprecedented. many ways.” Suddenly, in 1980, a welcome surprise was Double Fantasy was a brave album on John’s heard. John went into the studio with Yoko to part, and not only for his loyalty to Yoko. Here make the next album. was a man whose image was frozen in rock’n’roll, with all its connotations of youth, From its inception, then, Double Fantasy was rebellion and extremity. Yet his goal this time a John and Yoko collaboration, just as their was to address middle age, and the early “avant garde” albums had been. And in generation who had grown up with him, and its “Heart Play” of alternating viewpoints, it to consider questions – of parenthood, of formalised a pattern they’d instinctively marriage, of mature relations between the adopted on Some Time In New York City . sexes – that pop music scarcely touches.

And in ‘Yes, I’m Two heroes of his youth, Elvis Presley and Your Angel’, the parents enjoy a little recuper- Roy Orbison, are playfully mimicked in John’s ative time together. We reach the album’s first track, a life-affirming celebration of the pivotal point, perhaps, in John’s outstanding new decade just dawning. Yoko responds ‘Woman’ – a song that is often compared with with ‘Kiss Kiss Kiss’, flagrantly sensuous; in his ‘Girl’ of 15 years earlier, as a measure of the Lennons’ mind, “double fantasy” had the man’s personal development. In Yoko’s definite erotic aspects. ‘Beautiful Boys’ we hear a stirring message of encouragement for any man on such a path. Yet this was not a one-dimensional depiction of bliss. ‘Cleanup Time’ tells of John’s resolve The remaining songs serve to consolidate to face the future in better shape, but Yoko’s this hard-won harmony. John’s ‘Dear Yoko’, ‘Give Me Something’ is a stinging challenge propelled by exuberant Buddy Holly gurgles, to show emotional engagement. ‘I’m Losing shines with the same pure joy as Imagine’s You’ and ‘I’m Moving On’ plunge still deeper ‘Oh Yoko!’. Her own ‘Every Man Has A into discord, the former like an echo of John’s Woman Who Loves Him’ is similarly sweet. “Lost Weekend” record Walls And Bridges , And her wistful ‘Hard Times Are Over’ draws the latter a second instance of Yoko as the the story to its graceful conclusion – though impatient realist. its message is subtly qualified, we note, by the cautious addition of “for awhile”… “It’s not a happy go lucky album,” she affirms. “John’s song ‘I’m Losing You’, even now There would, of course, be no further when I hear that, I get choked up. And ‘I’m recordings issued in John Lennon’s lifetime.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Revue CMC Review (York University) Hédi A. Jaouad. “Limitless Undying Love”: The Ballad of John and Yoko and the Brownings. Manchester Center, Vermont: Shires Press, 2015. 132 pp. Hédi A. Jaouad is a distinguished scholar known for his expertise on Francophone North African (Maghrebi) literature. Professor of French and Francophone literature at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, he is the Editor of CELAAN, the leading North American journal focusing on North African literature and language. He is also interested in Victorian literature, with particular concentration on Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, on whom he published a previous book, The Brownings’ Shadow at Yaddo (2014). However, his current book, “Limitless Undying Love”: The Ballad of John and Yoko and the Brownings, shows a whole other side to his scholarship, for it links the Brownings to those icons of contemporary popular culture, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. This is a concise, economical little study (132 pp.), but it manages, in brief compass, to be pluridisciplinary, building bridges between poetry, music, and painting. As he modestly proclaims, it shows “his passion for more than one liberal art” (7). The title, “Limitless Undying Love,” comes from a late John Lennon song, “Across the Universe.” Hédi Jaouad reminds us that the titular “Ballad” applies to both poetry and music. He compares what he has called 19th-century “Browningmania” to 20th-century “Beatlemania,” both of which spread to North America in what has been popularly described as a “British Invasion.” Lest the reader assume Jaouad is only tracing coincidental parallels, he makes it clear from the outset that John and Yoko actually saw themselves as reincarnations of the Brownings, and consciously exploited the similarities in their lives and careers.

  • Give Me Something to Sing About": Intertextuality and the Audience in "Once More, with Feeling"
    Chapter 12 "Give Me Something to Sing About": Intertextuality and the Audience in "Once More, with Feeling" Amy Bauer "I love all musicals." (Joss Whedon, audio commentary to "Once More, with Feeling.") Critics hailed "Once More, with Feeling" (6.7) as a brilliant example of the television musical. Its musical numbers flow from the narrative, yet prove integral to the seven-year arc of the series, and its eclectic but unified score was written expressly for the talents of a cast (mostly) new to the genre. Notably, its book, score, and concept all sprang from one mind, that of the Buffyverse's primary architect, Joss Whedon. Although untrained in musical composition, Whedon's affection for and knowledge of the American musical are everywhere evident, even if we did not have John Kenneth Muir's admission that he is a "virtual encyclopedia of musical film history."1 Analogous to the combined cinematic genres-from horror to religious epic-that mark Buf/Y the Vampire Slayer and Angel, "Once More, with Feeling" alludes to Sondheim and Loesser alongside the sardonic charm of 1940s music, 1950s swing jazz, 1970s arena rock, 1980s power ballads, and 1990s soft-rock confessionals, all within a lean, swift-moving structure that performs the dramatic functions of the classic American musical. Much has already been written regarding the novelty, influence, and intertextual richness of the Buf/Y musical.2 My contribution to that literature analyzes the musical structure of the songs themselves and places it in a dialogic relationship to the sources they summon. Such intertextual richness acknowledges fans' devotion to and knowledge of both the show's history and cultural references to the John Kenneth Muir, Singing a New Tune: The Rebirth ofthe Modern Film Musical, from Evita to De-Lovely and Beyond (New York, 2005), p.

GENDER AND THE COLLABORATIVE ARTIST COUPLE by CANDICE GREATHOUSE Under the Direction of Dr. Susan Richmond ABSTRACT Through description and analysis of the balancing and intersection of gender in the col- laborative artist couples of Marina Abramović and Ulay, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and Chris- to and Jeanne-Claude, I make evident the separation between their public lives and their pri- vate lives, an element that manifests itself in unique and contrasting ways for each couple. I study the link between gendered negotiations in these heterosexual artist couples and this divi- sion, and correlate this relationship to the evidence of problematic gender dynamics in the art- works and collaborations.
