How the actual singing started and career took on?

Bob Dylan moved to New York after getting dropped out of college. In New York, his idol the legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie was hospitalized with a rare hereditary disease of Nervous system.

He regularly visited his idol in his hospital room and somehow became regular in the folk clubs and coffee houses in the Greenwich village. He met many other musicians there and began writing songs at a very surprising pace. He also wrote a tribute song to his ailing hero “Song to woody”.

Later in 1961, he signed a recording contract with Columbia Records, after one of his performances received a rare review in  The New York Times and then he legally changed his surname to Dylan. The recording contained only two original songs but effectively proved in showcasing his traditional style singing which touched the hearts of people all around the world.

But what made Bob Dylan’s most original and poetic voice in American music history, was his album The Freewheelin which released in 1963.

And later his next album, The Times, They are a-changin’ completely and firmly established him as a definitive and ultimate songwriter in the 60s protest movement. His reputation has only increased since then after he gets involved with one of the movement’s established icons, Joan Baez, in 1963. Bob and Baez’s romantic relationship didn’t go too far and lasted only for two years but it helped and benefited both the artists immensely. While Bob wrote many songs fir Joan, Joan took Bob to many concerts to perform together. In 1964, Bob did almost 200 concerts. Eventually he became tired of his role as a folk singer, songwriter, and in 1964, he introduced his fans to his new side which was more personal and introspective. The collection of songs he introduced was less politically charged as compared to Bob’s previous efforts.

The battle of homosexual cinema to improve its own conditions

The primetime lineup of fairly staid shows into American homes started with 4 television networks NBC, ABC, CBS, and erstwhile Dumont in 1948, with shows like I LOVE LUCY  which eventually paved the way for family drama and interpersonal relationships. Yet it was far from reflecting the fact that not all relationships are heterosexual.

The story of this evolution goes far to the mid of 1895. It all started with two men dancing together in the William Kennealy Dickson motion pictures The Dickson Experimental  Sound Films labeled ad Gay Brothers.

From the beginning of this evolution, homosexuality was depicted through gender-based conventions and stereotypes. The flamboyant, effeminate, humorous characters of a male character were oftentimes identified as a gay character.

Soon in the Great Depression in the 1930s as filmmakers produced high shock value themes to prompt people to return to the theatre lead to the inclusion of more controversial topics which eventually raised debates regarding the negative effect these films could leave on American society. United States Supreme Court ruled that films did not have First Amendment Protection, several governments passed laws restricting the public exhibition of “indecent” or “immoral” films. Eventually, the danger of church-led boycotts pressured the leadership within the film industry to establish national censorship, which became the Motion Picture Production Code.

Wings (1927) – The First Same-Sex Kiss in Film History

At first, the gay characters on screen came to be represented as villains or victims who committed crimes due to their homosexuality. During the II world war and the subsequent cold war, Hollywood increasingly depicted gay men and women as sadists, psychopaths, and anti-social villain. The censorship code gradually became liberalized 1950s-60s, until it was replaced by the current classification system established by the Motion Picture Association of America. Still, it was considered as a miserable, suicidal misfit.

Even after all the critics and criticism and the miserable conditions of gay characters they became more and more common since 1997. The increase introduction of gay characters in show like Spin City, ER, Buffy the Vampire Layer.

The new era of independent films started with the New Queer Cinema in the 1990s, with this the homosexuality was now started to see a different attitude toward itself. Now the homosexuality was not treated as a mental illness or a gay character as a miserable victim. They were treated as a normal part of the industry and a minority group.

New Queer Cinema

Brokeback Mountain was a major benchmark on the homosexual cinema. Soon the fight for gay rights began and it paved the path for the acceptance of LGBT in different aspects of American society and the film industry.

No longer it fell-out of morals to accept two men or women fall in love with each other in a film, the comfort level began to increase and the condition of homosexual characters improved with the course of time.

The plotlines that are touched upon in World War Hulk comics are the combination of both of the above-mentioned points i.e the loss of Natasha and resentment towards Ironman Tony Stark and speculates that Bruce could play the villainous character in The Avengers 5.

The Avengers writers Christopher Markus and Stephen Mcfeely also revealed that the character Bruce might not be as in control of his Hulk persona as he claims he is.

little-richard

The news of Little Richard broke out on Saturday 9th May, leaving his fans all over the world grieving for this great loss to the music and entertainment industry. The singer died due to Bone cancer in Tullahoma, Tennessee, his family confirmed. From Good golly miss molly to Tutti Frutti to long tall sally, the star singer had an extensive list of songs people cherished throughout decades.

Little Richard was cited as an influence openly by legends like The Beatles, Elton John, Elvis Presley, and many others. Richard was inducted to Rock n Roll Hall of fame in 1986.

little-richard

Initial days

Richard was born in 1932 as Richard Wayne Penniman. Richard was one of the 12 children in his house. To stand from his other siblings, he started singing. While talking to the BBC in 2008, he said: “I was the biggest head of all and I still have the biggest head.”The attention of people is what drove Richard in the beginning. He loved being noticed and talked about when he was a teenager and “When I started banging piano and singing and screaming, I got attention.” he said.

Richard’s father was a preacher, who also ran a night club and his mother was a devoted Baptist. In the 1970s while talking to the Rolling stone magazine he said: “I was born in the slums, my daddy used to sell whiskey, bootleg whiskey.”

After having some disagreements with his father, he left home in his teenage years. His father did not initially support his love for music. Little Richard also said this once ” My daddy wanted seven boys and I ruined it because I was gay. “

Afterlife Controversies & struggles

Though Richard was openly homosexual for years, he also had a relationship with women. He married Ernestine Harvin. She was a fellow fundamentalist. They both later adopted a son. Richard was also known for drugs, hard-drinking, and sex parties. After witnessing the death of his brother due to cocaine addiction, he turned to religion again and was with time, appointed as a minister in 1970.

In the late 1950s, while performing in Sydney, Australia, Richard saw a fireball crossing the sky, while he was on stage, it was Sputnik 1 satellite returning to earth. For people, it was just a nice moment in human history to capture, but it had different meanings altogether for Richard. He took it as a sign and direction from God that he should immediately change his ways and later on he turned his back on music.

Richard enrolled in the Bible college in Alabama but was soon asked to leave due to allegations that he has exposed himself to another student. Within 5 years, he was back on tours performing for people and released an album in 1961. Even later, he renounced his homosexuality, framing it as a temporary choice he had made.

Richard also openly expressed his views about the deep-rooted racial prejudice prevailing in the societies of contemporary America. He also felt that his musical influence was never addressed as it should have been and for this, he blamed deep racial prejudice in America. He expressed

this at the height of his career.

He was very positive while handling and witnessing racial prejudice, ‘ I have always thought that rock n roll brought the races together.’ the legend once told an interviewer. His fans in America and all over the world did not care that he was black even when the racism was on its peak in the west and gave him the love he deserved unequivocally.

Influence

Richard is considered as the Founder of Rock. He is called as the innovator, the originator.

Little Richard was an electric performer, exuberant persona, a bellow vocalist. He was such an all-round force of nature, that popular music had not seen before he emerged in the late 1950s. Most famous and legendary artists like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix idolized Richard. The key part of their act’s DNA might have gone missing if Richard

wouldn’t have been there.

When he used to sing standing at his piano, with his vibrant hair, and with full-throated voice, songs like Tutti Frutti, Long tall sally, Good golly miss molly, it always felt like a fresh air ripping through your body.
