The ‘Blurred Lines’ of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Here, My Dear’: Music as a Communication Tort and Divorce Narrative
No full textIn 1977, singer Marvin Gaye—one of the most esteemed music artists of all time—did an audacious thing. Anna Gordy Gaye was divorcing Marvin and asking for one million dollars. Despite having a wildly successful career up to that point, Marvin was near financial ruin. His attorney, Curtis Shaw, hit upon an idea: Motown, Marvin\u27s record label, had given him 305,000 and pledge the first 600,000, as did Motown\u27s CEO Berry Gordy, Anna\u27s brother. The judge wrote up an Order to that effect.
Composed, written and vocalized by Marvin alone, he first thought to do nothing heavy, nothing even good. Then he changed his mind. The album that resulted? A brilliantly unsettling poison pen to and about Anna, sardonically titled Here, My Dear.
Released in December 1978, Here, My Dear laid bare to the world a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. From the double album\u27s jacket illustrations and lyrics, down to the vocal colors and tones Marvin deploys, Anna is portrayed as greedy, vengeful and manipulative. The work was so upsetting to her that Anna publicly threatened to sue Marvin.
Professor Adamson’s talk explores the legal dimensions of that threat, and whether Here, My Dear conforms to or confounds frameworks that inform the performance of masculinity. Speaker

Health Care Delivery in America: Its weaknesses and how to make it better
No full textEvent Description
Health care in America is an unmortared mosaic of services and funding sources. We are the only developed country without a mandatory system and our aggregate costs absorb 18% of our GDP and is as much as double what other countries are spending. Insurance plays a big role as a source of payment and dysfunction. The lecture will provide an overview of all programs which regulate and fund health care ranging from Medicare to Obamacare and private insurance and all the sources of delivery of services, from hospitals to Community Health Centers. Variations in state programs ranging from Mississippi to Massachusetts will be considered. Our system will be compared to variations on mandated and universal systems deployed in other countries including the UK, Canada, Israel. It will raise the question whether health care is a primary right or an entitlement. Finally, it will consider the prospects for improvement including eight incremental changes. Speaker Bio
