Women’s rock enters the academy
Lisa Rhodes gave up rock pedestal for ivory tower
   
   In Electric Ladyland: Women and Rock Culture, Temple professor Lisa Rhodes goes beyond dishing interesting music industry tidbits about Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell and others.

   The book also examines how female rockers were portrayed by popular music journals Rolling Stone and the Village Voice, as well as by a number of mainstream publications, from 1965 to 1975.

   “Like the journalists, female musicians — and even the more self-possessed groupies — were attempting to expand the social possibilities for all women in the face of hostility and indifference,” writes Rhodes, an assistant professor of American studies. [more]

Rocker-turned-professor Lisa Rhodes examines how women in ’60s rock culture were portrayed in her new book, Electric Ladyland: Women and Rock Culture. In researching it, Rhodes discovered that very little was written in magazines about women musicians and their work, and less was written in academia: “Big parts of the story haven’t been told.”

This Week in Temple History
Sept. 11, 1980
   The Temple Times announced that the Temple University Music Festival, after 13 seasons as a nightly summer event at Ambler Campus, was discontinued. The Board of Trustees voted in May 1980 to focus the Ambler site on academics.
   Between 1968 and 1980, the festival attracted more than 1.3 million attendees and performers such as opera star Beverly Sills, composer Aaron Copland and jazz greats Benny Goodman and Dave Brubeck.
