Sex, drugs and rock and roll. These three things are often all tied up together very simply in one thing Pop-Culture. Pop culture is re-creating our lives today and we are constanly re-writing culture through remixes and fusing pieces of our past culture together. We are creating things to say in different terms giving a better example. I am teaching people or teens through comedy behind the mouths of two famous women in the 1970s and 1990s. Stevie Nicks and Courtney Love have both had drug struggles that affected their music and careers as artists. My hopes behind remixing these many interviews is for an educational purpose that the people that watch them find A.) The Humor Behind them and B.) Good reasons to not do drugs.
In remixing these videos and throughout the course of this class we have learned about Fair Use as well as Creative Commons. Both of these are legal methods of allowing you to re-mix things and use them for teaching, researching, short summaries of an address or article, use of a paradoy. Essentially as long as you can argue for your creative right to remix things you can use them. And that is exactly what I am doing. I am citing Fair Use for my remix Sex Drugs & Rock and Roll: Courtney and Stevie.
Larry Lessig the main lawyer for the “net” and huge advocate for Fair Use and Creative Commons. Lessig has said that digital technology is going to spread and celebrate “ammature culture”, people who produce things because they love it. It is how we as a younger generation can become introduce to new things or ideas.
