The Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory will offer a series of public lectures on the history of critical theory. These lectures, each of which will be followed by open discussion, will take place on Tuesdays from 5:15-6:45pm in 1092 Lincoln Hall. The lectures are coordinated with graduate seminars on critical theory in a number of departments, but are also open to other faculty or graduate students who may wish to attend.
Gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ) men are at higher risk of negative body image. As having a negative body image is related to negative mood, sexual, and health outcomes, identifying and providing community-friendly tools for GBQ men is important. This paper describes the creation and evaluation of Rainbow Reflections, a comic anthology developed to promote awareness of and communication about body image. Rainbow Reflections includes comics from 38 trans- and cis-GBQ artists who drew inspiration from personal narratives based on pre-determined themes in the empirical literature and interactive inserts based on evidence-based practice. To evaluate Rainbow Reflections, 167 trans- and cis-GBQ men completed pre-post measures before/after viewing a selection of comics and responded to an open-ended question about their experience. Overall, participants rated the comic book positively, with a majority (61.1%) indicating that they would recommend the book to a friend. After viewing the comics, participants reported greater comfort with initiating conversations about body image, greater satisfaction with their bodies, and reported higher estimates of how common body image concerns are for queer men. Themes that emerged from open-ended responses included participants reflecting on personal struggles ( 30%), relating with the stories of others ( 22%), reflecting on the standards of queer men ( 18%), recognizing cis-privilege ( 11%), reflecting on others' struggles ( 9%), negative feedback about the comics ( 7%), and balancing masculine and feminine ( 3%). Results of the study provide preliminary evidence for Rainbow Reflections as an effective community-friendly tool to promote awareness of and communication about body image for GBQ men.

(word in 3rd line sounds like "fly" but I'm not certain what it is. 2nd verse is the familiar "escaping through the lily fields" one)2-2-68When I woke up this morning my head was not in sight.... (rest of 1st stanza is same as 11-11-67. looks like the content of the 10-22 version has been put in the rhyme scheme of the 11-11 version)Also, on 2-3 the lyrics are the familiar ones, though the "it left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away" line is totally flubbed, but that could be because it wasn't stuck in Weir's mind yet, or it may not have even been written.I'm not saying any of these transcriptions are authoritative. There's lots of intense jamming on all of these, and you have to wonder how anal Weir was about getting to the mike for the beginnings of stanzas (my guess: not at all). There's only a couple places where I'm confused, and those are marked.Gotta love that Grateful Dead hour!-John McGrawp.s. when I first read your post, I thought I'd check David Dodd's awesome annotated lyrics page ( ddodd/gdhome.html#songs). While it didn't have any answers I could quickly & easily forward to you, it did have your post quoted on it. Because of this, I'm cc'ing this to David.Thanks!Blair Jackson, in GratefulDead: the Music Never Stoppedhas this to say about The Other One:"The song, which the Dead frequently dedicated to Owsley and which some have suggested dealswith the persecution of the acid chemist, opens with a series ofserious, but pleasantly melodic verses sung by Garcia overPigpen's liturgical organ line and Garcia's florid acousticguitar... The tune continues to tell the tale of this ill-fatedindividual until the melody fades and Kreutzmann's and Hart'sdrums set up the relentless chugging rhythm of the next section,sung by Weir, which eulogizes Prankster Neal Cassady (who died inMexico in early 1968 under slightly mysterious, possibly drug-related circumstances), and attempts to verbalize, to a degree,psychedelic euphoria. Abruptly, that song closes and the musicreturns to the original theme sung by Garcia." (pp. 84-85)David Gans, in Playing in theBand, has this to say about "The Other One":"There's another piece with a ... simple appearance whichprovides a launching pad for far-reaching group exploration. It'slisted in the songbooks as "Cryptical Envelopment" for publishingreasons, but band and fans know it as "The Other One." It's thatbrief passage of frantic, fearful 12/8 on side one ofAnthem of the Sun and side two of the "Skullfuck"album (Grateful Dead, the 1971 double live LP) withthe perfect paranoia imagery and the perfect scary cartoonsoundtrack flavor."`The thing about `The Other One' that's so thrilling is that ithas all these climaxes at an incredible rate when it's alreadygoing at a very strong pace,' says Hart."Never has such black music packed such joie de vivre! Thevisual images are of lovely things turning dangerous (`Spanishlady come to me, she lays on me this rose/It rainbow spiral roundand round and trembles and explodes') and of everyday scenesturning fabulously opportune: `The bus come by and I goton/That's when it all began...'As with `Dark Star' the `song' portion of `The Other One' isstraightforward, though characteristically clever, and the sketchof a lyric and the `head' of the song are merely jumping-offpoints."`The Other One' has a more clearly circumscribed emotional colorthan `Dark Star' (`Breathlessness,' says Weir, who wrote it).It's a joyful song of terror and a scary song of fun, and inperformance the band takes it through many dark passages withbrightly lit tonalities close at hand. You can see the cinematicversion of `The Other One' in you mind's eye without having toknow the words."(pp. 74-75)In an interview published in Golden Road, Spring, 1991,p. 30, Garcia was asked about his portion of the lyric:"Golden Road: Who or what inspired your section of "That's It For the Other One"--"The otherday they waited," etc.?Garcia: ... "Seriously, I think that's an extension of my own personal symbology for "The Manof Constant Sorrow"--the old folk song--which I always thought of as being a sort of Christparable."[Top]Here are some ideas on the song'smeaning contributed via the WELL's Deadlit conference:"That's it for the other one always made me thinkof the greats who were burned for believing"controversial" beliefs that have since become accepted fact. Italso reminded me of Wilhelm Reich, whose books were being burned inthe fifties. It seems to speak of making a public spectacle of theexecution of a visionary. (As for Cryptical Envelopment, Bobby'scontribution, it seems more a psychedelic interlude.)" -- Ryan M. Hastings"Funny, to me it's always been symbolic of a"dying" ritual, (the need of the ego to die in order for the true spirit to be bornwithin). In other words, the "death" was a metamorphosis & therefore wassomething to be desired...interesting how we can have such different takeson these things. But I guess this is a subject for anothertopic..."--David GansQuodlibetThanks to Dave Kopel for the following annotation!The word is a combination of the Latin "quod" (meaning "what") andlibet ("it pleases").
