Download or read book Popology written by Timothy English and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popology: The Music of the Era in the Lives of Four Icons of the 1960s is the first book to examine the lives of four of that decade's icons - JFK, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy and Thomas Merton - via the prism of the music in their lives. Readers can share the precise listening experiences of each of the subjects. This unique approach brings the 1960s to life through the emotive power of music. Popology also highlights a huge number of events that have been lost to history.These events include: the night Barbra Streisand sang for JFK; Frank Sinatra's role as a courageous supporter of Dr. King and an unsung hero of the civil rights movement; the time folksinger Phil Ochs sang a new song to Bobby Kennedy - about his brother's assassination! Did you know?• That JFK's favorite song was “September Song”, the lyric of which was eerily prescient regarding his demise? • That the last words Martin Luther King's spoke were a song request? He asked that saxophonist Ben Branch play his favorite hymn “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” at a rally he planned to attend.• Robert Kennedy had the Byrds play at a benefit for him or that he entertained the Jefferson Airplane at his home?• Thomas Merton - a cloistered monk - was one of the most perceptive writers of the moral dilemmas of the 1960's? No ordinary monk, he enjoyed beer and scotch, surreptitiously romanced a young nurse (becoming “obsessed” with Joan Baez's “Silver Dagger” in the process), and dug the music of John Coltrane, Dylan and the Beatles.The 1960s were a time in which sweeping societal changes and remarkable events seemed to have been compressed into a few short years. You could tell on which side of the cultural divide a person stood from the music they were surrounded by, or by the length of a man's hair or a woman's skirt. For this reason, knowing what music our subjects were listening to as the decade progressed can provide us with insights into how they responded to the changes going on around them.All four men recognized that they were living in a time of momentous change and sought to devote their lives to trying to better the lives of others. As the music of the day reflected those changes, Popology examines the songs that impacted and shaped their lives, and provides insights into what the music they listened can tell us about the kind of men they were.Popology provides a new and unique perspective on men that have fascinated readers for decades. No reader will finish Popology without learning a wealth of new information about John and Robert Kennedy, Dr. King, and Thomas Merton.

Download or read book The James Bond Songs written by Adrian Daub and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with 1964's Goldfinger, every James Bond film has followed the same ritual, and so has its audience: after an exciting action sequence the screen goes black and the viewer spends three long minutes absorbing abstract opening credits and a song that sounds like it wants to return to 1964. In The James Bond Songs authors Adrian Daub and Charles Kronengold use the genre to trace not only a changing cultural landscape, but also evolving conceptions of what a pop song is. They argue that the story of the Bond song is the story of the pop song more generally, and perhaps even the story of its end. Each chapter discusses a particular segment of the Bond canon and contextualizes it in its era's music and culture. But the book also asks how Bond and his music reflected and influenced our feelings about such topics as masculinity, race, money, and aging. Through these individual pieces the book presents the Bond song as the perfect anthem of late capitalism. The Bond songs want to talk about the fulfillment that comes from fast cars, shaken Martinis and mindless sex, but their unstable speakers, subjects, and addressees actually undercut the logic of the lifestyle James Bond is sworn to defend. The book is an invitation to think critically about pop music, about genre, and about the political aspects of popular culture in the twentieth century and beyond.

Download or read book Everybody Had an Ocean written by William McKeen and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles in the 1960s gave the world some of the greatest music in rock 'n' roll history: "California Dreamin'" by the Mamas and the Papas, "Mr. Tambourine Man" by the Byrds, and "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, a song that magnificently summarized the joy and beauty of the era in three-and-a-half minutes. But there was a dark flip side to the fun fun fun of the music, a nexus between naïve young musicians and the fringe elements that exploited the decade's peace-love-and-flowers ethos, all fueled by sex, drugs, and overnight success. One surf music superstar unwittingly subsidized the kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr. The transplanted Texas singer Bobby Fuller might have been murdered by the Mob in what is still an unsolved case. And after hearing Charlie Manson sing, Neil Young recommended him to the president of Warner Bros. Records. Manson's ultimate rejection by the music industry likely led to the infamous murders that shocked a nation. Everybody Had an Ocean chronicles the migration of the rock 'n' roll business to Southern California and how the artists flourished there. The cast of characters is astonishing—Brian and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, eccentric producer Phil Spector, Cass Elliot, Sam Cooke, Ike and Tina Turner, Joni Mitchell, and scores of others—and their stories form a modern epic of the battles between innocence and cynicism and joy and terror. You'll never hear that beautiful music in quite the same way.
