"Taxman" Covers
In 1969, UK government expenditure was approximately 42% of gross domestic product (GDP). In 1969, US government expenditure (federal, state, and local) was approximately 30.6% of gross domestic product (GDP).George Harrison’s income in 1969 was likely taxed at an effective rate of 70–85%, depending on its composition (earned vs. unearned) and tax planning. For an estimated income of £100,000–£200,000, he paid roughly £70,000–£170,000 in taxes, or $167,300–$406,300 USD (£1 = $2.39). The top marginal rate approached 91.25–96.25%, but reliefs and strategies like Northern Songs lowered his overall burden. Without precise income data, this is an informed estimate—his frustration, as voiced in “Taxman,” reflects the punitive rates faced by the ultra-wealthy

Hello World!

"It Might as Well Be Spring" Indiana University
Scholars analyze “State Fair” (1945) for its portrayal of post-World War II American optimism, rural life, and the idealized Midwest, as depicted in the 1946 Iowa State Fair setting. The musical’s narrative, centered on the Frake family’s pursuit of blue ribbons and romantic adventures, offers a lens into mid-20th-century American values, which could be explored in journals like the University of California’s Journal of Popular Music Studies. This journal covers popular music and musical theater from interdisciplinary perspectives, including cultural studies and history, and could include discussions of State Fair’s nostalgic depiction of Americana.
