Politics and Music: Class Meetings
Professor Courtney Brown
Meeting #14: Political Identity Music: (Finishing)
Joe Hill and the Labor Movement and (beginning) Chilean political
identity music
LECTURE NOTES
SELECTIONS played in class:
Woody Guthrie: Talking Dust Bowl Blues, Deportees, Farmer Labor
Song, The Dying Miner, 1913 Massacre
Rolling Stones: Factory Girl, Salt of the Earth
Quilapayun: Contata Santa Maria
QUESTIONS and DISCUSSION: How has Joe Hill's early death contributed to his impact with the labor movement in ways that Woody Guthrie could never equal? Can you see that The Rolling Stones play to diverse audiences, and that some of their songs have styles and lyrical themes that are highly divergent from their most popular tunes? Do you see how Bob Marley's use of music to convey political information to the masses is directly comparable to the use of Chilean music during the time of Salvador Allende? Can you describe how this was accomplished explicitly in Chile?
