Ray says that the film adaptation of the musical, "Grease," is a nostalgic look at 1950s rock and roll and, a particular masculine ideal. Ray also says that the movie spoke to a large segment of Americans who felt threatened by the rise of disco and it's associations with alternative masculinity and sexuality and that the film responds to what amounted to a moral panic about the death of rock music, because that death heralded the decline of white, middle-class, heterosexual dominance. MSU Music Librarian Mary Black Junttonen introduces Ray, as part of the MSU Libraries Colloquia Series, cosponsored by Music in American Life. Held in the MSU Main Library.
