Interview a senior

I interviewed my friend Patrick Walker who is in the masters program and will be graduating in the spring as a teaching major. Since he plays for the SJSU football team, he gave me advice on trying out for the team and how the coach chooses the players. He told me to have fun during the year and not to screw up in my education. Also Patrick talk to me about living off campus in a good neighborhood.

For my second non muse event I attended the homecoming football game against Idaho. Standing in the Spartan Squad section I blended in with all the 3,000 yellow shirts in the stands rooting for the Spartans. The game was close in the beginning when we could have scored a TD but stopped. In the 4th quarter the team made bad plays and could not tackle the ball carrier. With seconds left Our Qb got intercepted with no WR standing there. Majority of the people left after the play disappointed.

Scholarly Journal

In “ The Cambridge Companion to Bob Dylan” by Ed Kevin Dettmar a 2009 journal published by Blackwell publishing, he talks about how Bob Dylan is still a musical influence today. The article also talks about the treatment of women in Dylan’s songs to in real life scenarios. You can still hear Dylan’s work from his 30th album to ipods, radios and cds.

In 2007, Dylan released his thirtieth record album “ Together through life” which was a hit on the record charts. The album sold millions to country music fans. He also was a subject of a Hollywood movie in 2007, “ I’m not there”. We still listen to his songs from new technology of mp3 players and satellite radio, a big difference from how people listen to music in the 1960’s of the albums to home radios.

Barbara O’ Dair provides an explanation of the sexism in the song “ Just like a women”. She states that some of the songs lines had no taste and the speaker’s vulnerability and shame. They also defined Dylan’s male heroic persona in which he tropes of the feminine as an accessory. They also talk about how Dylan influenced many artist in using marijuana. From the Beatles in 1964 they got influenced in a recording studio.

The Best thing of love fest was the girls from what they wore to how they acted. Next year is a must go again for me with an appropriate costume.
