2. Dizzy Up The Girl Meaning

Dizzy Up the Girl is the sixth studio album by American rock band Goo Goo Dolls, released on September 22, 1998 through Warner Bros. Records. The album is often noted for being the album which propelled the Goo Goo Dolls into success, although they already enjoyed some recognition with the downbeat track 'Name' in 1995. Dizzy features more upbeat compositions than they had previously recorded. It is also the band's first album to feature drummer Mike Malinin.

History[edit]

Dizzy Up the Girl is the Goo Goo Dolls' most successful album to date, selling over 4 million copies (4x platinum certified).^[4] The success of Dizzy Up the Girl can largely be attributed to the rock ballad 'Iris', which was also included in the soundtrack album of the film City of Angels. 'Iris' immediately reached #1 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart upon its release in March from the City of Angels soundtrack, and stayed on top for 18 weeks, setting a record that still stands as of June 2017. The song also reached #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart, the Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 chart, along with several other charts in the U.S and U.K, and included 3 Grammy nominations. 'Iris' and 'Slide' were the 2 most successful singles from the album being the 2 songs that sold the album very well and the other 3 singles achieved modest success.

In addition to the huge success of 'Iris' (US #9), Dizzy Up the Girl featured three additional top forty singles, with the songs 'Slide' (US #8), 'Broadway' (US #24), and 'Black Balloon' (US #16). The album also produced the moderately popular song 'Dizzy' (US #108), which has since become a fan favorite. Along with top forty single status, music videos for all five singles reached VH1's Top 20 Music Videos chart upon release.

Reception[edit]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated: 'Like a less mannered and conflicted Let Your Dim Light Shine-era Soul Asylum, the trio balances hard rockers with ballads. The difference is, they enjoy the mainstreaming of their music and respond with one of their catchiest sets of songs. There's nothing new on the record apart from their willingness to polish their music so it reaches the widest audience. That will alienate whatever hardcore followers they have left, but that attitude will likely please anyone brought aboard with 'Name' and 'Iris'.'^[5]

Elizabeth Smart sat backstage in a ballroom of the Washington Hilton hotel, where, in a few minutes, she would be telling an audience of sixteen hundred teen-agers her story of survival. It has been eleven years since a vagrant abducted Smart from her family’s home, in Salt Lake City, when she was fourteen. After nine months of captivity, during which she was repeatedly raped and threatened with murder, she was rescued by the police, in Utah. Smart’s speech was the keynote address of the annual conference of Key Club International. It was a steamy July day, but Smart looked composed in a ruffle-collared black dress, her blond hair in a chignon. She had no notes. I told her that I liked her red shoes, which reminded me of the ruby slippers that Dorothy clicks to return home from Oz. “Every girl should have a pair,” she said. “Don’t you think?”

At the lectern, Smart began by conjuring the kind of ordinary girl she was when she went to bed on June 4, 2002. That evening, she’d spent a lot of time persuading her parents to let her join her best friend’s family on a vacation to a small town in Utah, only to have her older brother, Charles, tease her about how boring the trip was sure to be. She’d shot back, “Hey, what if those are the last words you ever say to me?” The audience laughed, nervously. A few minutes later, Smart arrived at the part of her story where she woke in the middle of the night with a knife at her throat. The ballroom got very quiet.

Although Smart will never escape being associated with the lurid captivity she endured, she has chosen to remain a public figure and has been unusually successful at doing so on her own terms. She is a full-time advocate for the prevention of child abuse who lobbies for legislation and heads a foundation. She delivers some eighty speeches a year, and they reliably end on a note of quiet resilience. She told the teen-agers in Washington, “Never be afraid to speak out. Never be afraid to live your life. Never let your past dictate your future.”

Smart is a member of a tiny sorority of women who have escaped from modern-day Bluebeards and shared their stories. Among them is Jaycee Dugard, who, at the age of eleven, was snatched off a California street by a man with a stun gun; she survived eighteen years of captivity and, after being raped repeatedly by her kidnapper, had two children with him. Natascha Kampusch was enslaved in a tidy house in Austria for eight years; Sabine Dardenne, of Belgium, was abducted at the age of twelve by a serial killer, who tortured her in his basement for three months. All these women subsequently wrote books—Smart’s memoir, “My Story,” has just been published. Although their accounts document appalling abuse, the authors display an elemental will to live that is deeply affecting. The memoirs also serve as ripostes to the media scrutiny that followed their ordeals: Why hadn’t they run? Had they developed unseemly bonds with their captors? The girls in fairy tales who escaped from ogres never had to face a blogosphere, or Nancy Grace.

In 2006, in a CNN interview with Grace, Smart showed the self-possession, and the lightly sarcastic resolve, that has marked her public appearances ever since. Smart was then eighteen, and she had gone on Grace’s program in order to promote a bill that would establish a national registry for sex offenders. Grace, who is not known for her interest in the nuances of social policy, immediately homed in on the details of the kidnapping. She asked Smart if she ever heard searchers calling out for her.

“There was one time,” Smart replied.

“Did you want to scream out, ‘Here I am, help me’?”

“I mean, of course. Who wouldn’t?” Smart said, in a tone that was at once polite and admonitory.

“You were afraid, I assume?” Superbad soundtrack free mp3 download.

“Yeah,” Smart said, as though she were saying, “Duh.” She shot a sidelong glance—very nearly an eye roll—at someone offscreen. It was the kind of frame-breaking moment rarely seen on cable news. “I’m not here to give an interview on that,” Smart said. “I’m here to help push the bill through.”

But Grace wanted to discuss the odd clothing that Smart’s captor, Brian David Mitchell, had forced her to wear. Before her rescue, Smart had appeared many times on the streets of Utah, hidden beneath a robe and a veil. “A lot of people have seen shots of you wearing a burka_,”_ Grace said. “How did you see out of that thing?”

Smart said, “To be frankly honest, I really don’t appreciate your bringing this up.” Grace, chastened, asked about the bill.

In “My Story,” Smart tries to steer the reader away from seeing her experience as so bizarre that it warrants more curiosity than compassion. She stresses the fundamental qualities of her suffering: hunger, thirst, loneliness. The book often reads like a young-adult novel—a survival yarn in the vein of “The Island of the Blue Dolphins.” Smart’s memoir, which was written with Chris Stewart—a Republican congressman from Utah who has published such inspirational books as “Seven Miracles That Saved America”—is not graphic in its descriptions of forced sex and other cruelties. Nor is “My Story” an analytical book: it does not probe her abductor’s state of mind or her own. Its power lies in the way Smart presents herself, as a pure girl who emerged from degradation purer still—stronger but somehow still innocent. Every so often, there are touches of ironic wit. “Of course!” she remembers thinking as Mitchell herded her into a dollar store to purchase a disguise. “The perfect place to buy a quality wig!”

Smart had thought carefully about the book’s tone. “It’s not so gruesome that it would be unbearable to read,” she said. “That was important to me.” Her goal as a public figure is to make “talking about rape and abuse not such a taboo.” Although cable news and police dramas are filled with chronicles of sex crimes, Smart’s approach is distinctive: at once ladylike, frank, and unembarrassed. At one point, Smart, who got married last year, told me, “There’s a huge difference between rape and sex. Having experienced both, I know it’s not the same thing.”

Steve Daley, a former police officer who directs radKIDS, a self-defense program for children that Smart supports, says of her, “She has this poise and calmness and a power that provide hope. She turns a light on when you’re dealing with this very dark subject matter.”

Smart rejects many of the tropes that cling to kidnapping stories: that victims are forever damaged; that Stockholm syndrome explains her extended captivity; that other people in her situation would have resisted more forcefully and escaped. “Nobody should ever question why you didn’t do something,” Smart told me. “They have no idea what they would have done, and they certainly have no right to judge you. Everything I did I did to survive. And I did. Maybe there were times that, had I done more, I would have been rescued. But maybe I wouldn’t have. So do I regret anything I did? No.”
