JAN VAN METER EXPLORES THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF SEVERAL CATCH PHRASES AND SLOGANS THAT HAVE BEEN... |
| 00:00:54 |
|
I THOUGHT I WOULD TALK BUT THE BOOK IT IS GENESIS AND PARLAY THE KIND OF QUESTIONS THAT AROSE WHICH... |
| 00:10:16 |
|
SPEAKING OF HISTORY THE NO HAVE JUST HAD SOME OF. WE ARE LESS THAN AN 24 HOURS PAST THE ELECTION OF... |
| 00:10:34 |
|
WELL, SINCE A THE SLOGANS LIKE HISTORY ARE NEVER WRITTEN BY THE LOSERS. [LAUGHTER] NATION FIRST OR... |
| 00:12:18 |
|
NOW, A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION ABOUT THAT. WHEN WE TALKED LAST WEEK AS YOU JUST MENTIONED AND, YES, WE... |
| 00:12:58 |
|
WELL, THE CITY UPON A HILL, IT WAS 1630 AND THEN DISAPPEARED IT FROM THE SITE FROM EVERYBODY BUT ACADEMICS... |
| 00:15:01 |
|
I HAVE A DREAM WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR BECAUSE IT LIKE YES WEEKEND AND TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY -- THE... |
| 00:15:52 |
|
AND THAT MIGHT BE A SLOGAN. [LAUGHTER] WE WILL SEE. YOU TAKE US FROM CITY ON THE HILL IN 1630 ALL... |
| 00:16:08 |
|
WELCOME IT STOP THERE BECAUSE MY PUBLISHER SAID YOU HAVE X NUMBER OF WORDS. |
| 00:16:14 |
|
DRAM OUT OF PAGES. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:16:17 |
|
AND ALSO HAD TO DO WITH MY FEELING OF THE THINGS AFTER '87 WAS MORE JOURNALISM THAN IT WAS HISTORY... |
| 00:17:25 |
|
FROM ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE IN -- APPEARS ON THE D.C. LICENSE PLATES. IT IS A TAGLINE, NOT A HEAD AT... |
| 00:18:09 |
|
I'M NOT SURE. THE INTERNET IS NOT A FORM OF MASS MEDIA, IT IS NOT A FORM OF MASS COMMUNICATIONS. ... |
| 00:19:58 |
|
DOES THAT MEAN THAT SLOGANS ONLY TAKE HOLD WHEN THEY APPLY TO THE WHOLE CULTURE? OR ARE THERE -- |
| 00:20:06 |
|
NO, A PERFECT EXAMPLE THE VIETNAM WAR WAS A FORM OF MASS COMMUNICATION IN WHICH EVERYBODY TOOK PART,... |
| 00:21:13 |
|
I THINK IF YOU USE THE WORD SLOGAN OUT ON THE STREET AND ASK PEOPLE WHAT YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY SLOCAN... |
| 00:21:31 |
|
WHICH IS, YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY, WHICH HAD THE ADVANTAGE OF NOT ONLY ALLOW ME TO TALK A LITTLE... |
| 00:24:00 |
|
IN THIS IS OFF TOPIC BUT I JUST -- DO PEOPLE INFECTED COMPLAIN TO YOU ABOUT KWANZAA? AND WHY IS THAT?... |
| 00:24:11 |
|
YES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS HEAR COMMENTS ABOUT KWANZAA, ABOUT ANY NEW HOLIDAY.... |
| 00:24:38 |
|
BACK ON POINT. [LAUGHTER] DOWNTOWN FROM HERE PROBABLY RIGHT AT THIS HOUR THERE ARE PROBABLY PEOPLE... |
| 00:24:56 |
|
AND PARTS THEY HAVE TO BE LUCKY TO MAKE THEIR SUCCESSFUL THEY'RE OFTEN SUCCESSFUL FOR REASONS THAT... |
| 00:25:09 |
|
FOR EXAMPLE,? |
| 00:25:11 |
|
, A LONG WAY BABY. UNDER A SEARCH AIDS PEOPLE WILL NOT KNOW THAT THIS IS CIGARETTE COMMERCIALS. AND... |
| 00:25:59 |
|
YOU JUST TOUCHED ON THIS AND YOU DISCUSS IN THE BUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SLOGAN AND A CATCH PHRASE... |
| 00:26:06 |
|
SLOGANS AS I SAID ARE A BATTLE CRY THEN MAKE YOU DO SOMETHING WITH A EITHER EXPLICITLY OR IMPLICITLY,... |
| 00:27:49 |
|
YOU TALK A BIT BEFORE AND ABOUT CONFLICT AND ABOUT CATCHPHRASES AND SLOGANS BEEN USED TO DIVIDE THE.... |
| 00:28:11 |
|
CHIMINEAS SOLVENTS THAT PEOPLE REMEMBER? THERE ARE PLENTY OF DEAD SLOGANS. AND THIS IS WRITTEN BY... |
| 00:29:32 |
|
SO THERE IS A SUBGROUP OF A STARKEY SLOGANS. |
| 00:29:35 |
|
IS THERE ARE IN THERE IS THE ONE THAT HAS LESS OF THE LONGEST AND YOU HAVE I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IS... |
| 00:30:43 |
|
OTHER COULTER STOOD. I HAVE ASKED PEOPLE WHY CONTEMPORARIES AND OTHER CULTURES AND YOU GET A FEW BUT... |
| 00:33:21 |
|
WE TALKED BEFORE ABOUT THE INTERNET AND A MASS MEDIA. AND WHAT THAT DOES TO SLOGANS. THERE IS ALSO... |
| 00:34:00 |
|
PEOPLE WHO IMPRINTED 05 AT THE IMAGES COMING ON AS AN IMPORTANT ENGAGING THE RICE. AND I HAVE A PROBLEM... |
| 00:35:56 |
|
WHICH MEANS YOU WILL LIKE THE NEXT QUESTION. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:35:59 |
|
OKAY. |
| 00:36:04 |
|
WHICH IS THIS, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM AN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION BY WAY OF SLOGANS AND CATCHPHRASES... |
| 00:36:17 |
|
I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE IT. I THINK WE BEEN THROUGH A TIME WHICH WAS SO CONCENTRATED THE SPAN, THE... |
| 00:36:40 |
|
YES TEETEN. |
| 00:36:42 |
|
YES, WE CAN CORRECT. |
| 00:36:44 |
|
BUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS SLOGANS AREN'T GOING TO WORK THE MESSAGES AREN'T GOING TO WORK. |
| 00:36:50 |
|
NO, AND I SAYING MESSAGES FOR, OF COURSE, THEY WORK AND THERE WERE SLOGANS AND MESSAGES THAT SPAN... |
| 00:37:55 |
|
WE HAVE AN EAGER LOOKING AUDIENCE. IN NEW LUCKIER. QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT, LET'S START AT THIS POINT.... |
| 00:38:33 |
|
I THINK WHAT ALAN WAS TRYING TO SAY WAS THAT AS THE INTERNET AND TEXTING IN A YOUTUBE AND ALL OF THE... |
| 00:39:38 |
|
I WAS JUST THINKING -- |
| 00:39:40 |
|
WAIT FOR THE MICROPHONE, HELP IS ON THE WAY. |
| 00:39:47 |
|
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING SLOGANS AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE OLD TELEGRAPH,... |
| 00:40:44 |
|
I AM NOT SURE IF EVEN CONTINUES NOW. I THINK THE ORAL TRADITION IS PRETTY WELL LOST. AT LEAST IN... |
| 00:40:59 |
|
AT YOUR HOUSE. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:41:01 |
|
THAT IS ONLY THE EXCUSE IS PARTS. IN. |
| 00:41:04 |
|
BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN I THINK YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT FOR A SLOGAN REALLY TO BE A SLOGAN AND... |
| 00:41:20 |
|
I DON'T KNOW. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS, BECAUSE THAT IS EASILY ADAPTABLE. BUT THEN... |
| 00:42:02 |
|
THE MICROPHONE IS COMING. |
| 00:42:04 |
|
WHICH SLOGAN THAT ZERO ABOUT IS YOUR FAVORITE NY? |
| 00:42:16 |
|
IN MANY WAYS IT IS PROBABLY HIT THEM WHERE THEY AIN'T, FOR AN ODD REASON WHICH IS PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN... |
| 00:43:27 |
|
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT MEMORABLE SLOGANS, AND YOU TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT BEFORE BUT I WONDER IF... |
| 00:43:50 |
|
IS LIKE TO REMEMBER 5440 OR FIGHT, WHOSE ONLY REAL THE TRUTH IS THE ANGLO-SAXON FORM OF A BANKING... |
| 00:45:17 |
|
ANYONE ELSE? WE DO HAVE SOME MORE TIME AND I WANTED TO ADD. [LAUGHTER] EAGER AS YOU MIGHT BE AND I... |
| 00:45:40 |
|
ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, THERE ARE NOT IN THE BOOK BECAUSE THE ONE THING I FIGURED EVERYBODY DID... |
| 00:47:00 |
|
SOME OTHERS, MAYBE LESS POWERFUL, BUT LET ME GET QUICK REACTIONS AND LIGHTNING ROUND IF YOU WILL PERRIN.... |
| 00:47:11 |
|
I THINK ALL THOSE WHO SAW THAT MOVIE HAD ANY IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS. IT COMES FROM THE MOVIE WALL STREET.... |
| 00:47:53 |
|
WELL HAVE THE SALON EVERY DOLLAR BILL IN GOD WE TRUST AND THE MESSAGE IT SENDS? IS THAT SOMETHING... |
| 00:48:09 |
|
WELL, IT IS NOT REALLY MONETARY SO MUCH AS THE BELIEF THAT THE DEBT THE FOUNDING FATHERS FELL TO A... |
| 00:49:26 |
|
IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE. |
| 00:49:28 |
|
NO, NO. THAT GETS INTO THE AREA OF HOMERIC EPITHET, IT IS NOT REALLY A SLOGAN OR A CATCH PHRASE,... |
| 00:51:43 |
|
IN ANOTHER DIRECTION, YOU GOT TO BELIEVE. |
| 00:51:46 |
|
IT IS GREAT, THE PROBLEM IS SO TIED TO NEW YORK. |
| 00:51:53 |
|
OR PHILADELPHIA. |
| 00:51:54 |
|
THAT IS TRUE, BUT THEY STILL LIVE FROM LA. |
| 00:52:00 |
|
THEY STILL HAMID. |
| 00:52:03 |
|
AND IT IS TO SAY, YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE, THERE ARE ANY NUMBER OF THOSE IT IS IN THE FUTURE. YOU'VE... |
| 00:52:22 |
