The Why and How of This Lesson |
||||
The
driving force of my radio show and site has always been that I do not
think gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender music of the past should
be forgotten. Several years ago I was asked to write an essay for a university
music journal on "Queer Music Radio: Entertainment, Education,
and Activism," and I think that article really fleshes out the
importance of this subject area. Click to read Boston University Journal Essay The music history of LGBT culture is largely forgotten, and this is a unique area that should not be, as it reflects a culture itself that until the last few decades has been invisible. In their music artists describe their lives, and their struggles with a variety of life issues, just like straight people, and understanding brings acceptance. |
How can
this material be used? I am not a university professor so would not presume
in that realm, but as an assignment the two-hour lesson can be streamed
or, as I envisioned it, downloaded for listening or study later. As all
songs can be streamed individually they could be heard and discussed in
class if desired
it seems everyone has laptops these days. |
