"So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" is a song by the American rock band the Byrds, written by Jim McGuinn and Chris Hillman and included on the band's 1967 album, Younger Than Yesterday.[1] The song was inspired by the manufactured nature of the Monkees and was released as a single on January 9, 1967 (see 1967 in music), reaching number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, but failing to chart in the United Kingdom.[2][3]

Composition and content[edit]
Written in late 1966,[4] "So You Want to be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" has been described by Byrds expert Tim Conners as "an acerbic, but good-natured swipe at the success of manufactured rock bands like the Monkees".[5] The Monkees television series had debuted in America in September 1966, and had launched the pre-fabricated band to international fame.[6] The manufactured nature of the group caused the Byrds' bass player, Chris Hillman, and lead guitarist, Jim McGuinn, to look upon the current state of the pop world with more than a little cynicism—something that was reflected in the song's lyrics.[6]
Musically, "So You Want to be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" features a driving, circular Rickenbacker guitar riff by McGuinn[7] and, what Conners has called, an "unstoppable bass hook" from Hillman.[5] Hillman has stated that he composed the song's bass part during a recording session for South African musician Hugh Masekela.[5] The song also features Masekela's trumpet playing, which represents the first use of brass on a Byrds recording.[5][8] In addition, "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" features the sound of hysterical teenage pop fans screaming. These screams were recorded at an August 15, 1965 Byrds' concert in Bournemouth, by the band's publicist, Derek Taylor, at McGuinn's request.[6][9]
Rolling Stone editor David Fricke has written that although the song's lyrics are heavily sarcastic, beneath the playful cynicism there is a deeper, implicit irony to the song; The Byrds had, themselves, achieved almost overnight success with the release of their debut single, a cover of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man".[10] However, the band members all knew, from their common bitter personal experiences, that the most difficult part of success was in remaining successful, staying ahead of the curve artistically, and staying sane under the immense pressure of stardom.[10]
During an interview with music journalist Pete Frame, McGuinn said:
Some people have accused us of being bitter for writing that song, but it's no more bitter than "Positively 4th Street." In fact, it isn't as bitter as that. We were thumbing through a teen magazine and looking at all the unfamiliar faces and we couldn't help thinking: "Wow, what's happening … all of a sudden here is everyone and his brother and his sister-in-law and his mother and even his pet bullfrog singing rock 'n' roll." So we wrote "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" to the audience of potential rock stars, those who were going to be, or who wanted to be, and those who actually did go on to realize their goals.[8]
Release[edit]
Upon release, the band performed the song on a number of television programs, including Popside, Top of the Pops, Drop In, The David Frost Show, and Beat-Club.[11] The band also performed "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" as the final song of their appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival, with the help of guest musicians Hugh Masekela and Big Black.[12] The Byrds' performance of the song at Monterey is included on the 1992 The Monterey International Pop Festival CD box set.[13]
In addition to its appearance on the Younger Than Yesterday album, "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" also appears on several Byrds' compilations, including The Byrds' Greatest Hits, History of The Byrds, The Original Singles: 1965–1967, Volume 1, The Byrds, The Very Best of The Byrds, The Essential Byrds, and There Is a Season.[14] Live performances of the song are included on the live portion of The Byrds' (Untitled) album, as well as on the Live at the Fillmore - February 1969 and Live at Royal Albert Hall 1971 albums.[14]
Cover versions[edit]
The two earliest cover versions of "So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star" were by the Royal Guardsmen, on their 1967 album The Return of the Red Baron, and the British band the Move, who included the song on their 1968 EP, Something Else from The Move.[15]
Hookfoot, the British group who served as Elton John's backing band for a number of years, also released the song as a single in 1974.[16] The song was covered by Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, as part of the track "Telegram", on their 1976 album Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll. Black Oak Arkansas covered the song on their 1977 The Best of Black Oak Arkansas album, with the song later being included on the Hot & Nasty: The Best of Black Oak Arkansas compilation album in 1993.[17][18]
In 1979, "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" was recorded by the Patti Smith Group and released as the third single from their album Wave.[19] The song was also covered by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers during their Southern Accents tour, and it appears on the 1985 live album, Pack Up the Plantation: Live![20]
In 1984, McGuinn joined R.E.M. on stage at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, for a rendition of "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star". R.E.M.'s Peter Buck explained: "When we played 'Rock 'n' Roll Star', where it has that part where it goes 'la la la la la la la', he played C-F-G, and I said, 'That's weird, we do C-D-G'. Then he played it that way and said, 'You know, I like that better. I think I'll change it'. And I went, 'You mean you're going to change the chord of the song?' and he went, 'Yeah, I've never played it that way, and I like it a lot better'. Roger McGuinn's been playing that song for twenty years, and here I suggest he plays it this way, and he does!"[21]
Unrest recorded a version of "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" in 1985 for their self-titled debut album.[22] They later re-recorded the song during the sessions for their fourth album, Malcolm X Park, released in 1988.[23]
Crowded House performed the song (along with "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Eight Miles High") with McGuinn in Los Angeles on April 7, 1989. The performances were released as B-sides on the "I Feel Possessed" CD single.[24]
The Swedish pop group Roxette included the song in their 1993 MTV Unplugged show.[25] Ronnie Wood also covered "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" on his 2001 solo album, Not for Beginners.
The German Alternative Rock/Punk Band Beatsteaks covered the song on their 2004 "Hand in Hand" single. In 2006, Les Fradkin released a cover version of the song on his album Goin' Back.[26] Also, the Dutch rock band Golden Earring covered the song as a bonus track on their This Wheel's on Fire CD single.[27] Jon Bon Jovi has also covered the song in live concerts.[28]
Pearl Jam have covered "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" a number of times at live concerts.[29] Pearl Jam's singer, Eddie Vedder, also covered it during his 2012 American solo tour.[30]
The British rock band Charlie released a song titled "Killer Cut" in 1979, that is essentially a sequel to "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" and begins with the lyrics "So you want to be a rock and roll star, well, times have changed/That's all I'll say/You still need an electric guitar but most of all you need that radio, radio play." Counting Crows have been known to perform a few lines from "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" as an introduction to their song "Mr. Jones" during live performances.[31][32]
In the media[edit]
The original Byrds' recording of "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" was featured in the 1983 comedy-drama film Purple Haze (see 1983 in film).[33]
It was also Featured in the 2002 film The Country Bears.

Colour guard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This article is about the military colour guard. For information about the flag, rifle, and sabre auxiliary units associated with high school and university marching bands and drum and bugle corps, see Colour guard (flag spinning).
Colour Guard of the 1st Naval Fusiliers of the French Navy at the 2008 Bastille Day Military Parade, Paris.
In military organizations, the Colour Guard (or Color Guard) refers to a detachment of soldiers assigned to the protection of regimental colours. This duty is so prestigious that the colour is generally carried by a young officer (Ensign), while experienced non-commissioned officers (Colour sergeants) are assigned to the protection of the flag. These NCOs, accompanied sometimes by warrant officers (as is the case in several countries), can be ceremonially armed with either sabres or rifles to protect the colour. Colour guards are generally dismounted, but there are also mounted colour guard formations as well.

History[edit]
Main article: Military colours, standards and guidons
Fight for the flag between French line infantry and Russian Guard cuirassiers at the battle of Austerlitz (1805).
As armies became trained and adopted set formations, each regiment's ability to keep its formation was potentially critical to its, and therefore its army's, success. In the chaos of battle, not least due to the amount of dust and smoke on a battlefield, soldiers needed to be able to determine where their regiment was. Flags and banners have been used by many armies in battle to serve this purpose.
Regimental flags were generally awarded to a regiment by a head-of-State during a ceremony and colours may be inscribed with battle honours or other symbols representing former achievements. They were therefore treated with reverence as they represented the honour and traditions of the regiment. The loss of a unit's flag was not only shameful, but losing this central point of reference could make the unit break up. So regiments tended to adopt colour guards, a detachment of experienced or élite soldiers, to protect their colours. As a result, the capture of an enemy's standard was considered as a great feat of arms.
Due to the advent of modern weapons, and subsequent changes in tactics, colours are no longer used in battle, but continue to be carried by Colour Guards at events of formal character.
Current use[edit]
Britain and the Commonwealth[edit]
Colour guards in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth are also composed of the same members as in the American units, but tend to have a colour sergeant major behind the colours carrying a pace stick. So, the formation (when the colours are combined on parade) is as follows:
Colour Sergeants carrying rifles
Ensigns
Sergeant of the Guard
Colour Sergeant Major behind the colour
As the British Army, the Royal Air Force, the Royal Marines and the Royal Navy have several types of colours, there are also colour guards for these colours and these colours and their colour guards are as follows:
British Army (line and guards infantry, and other units save for rifle units)[edit]
Colour Sergeant of the Welsh Guards. Note the distinctive shoulder insignia on the upper arm.
Queen's Colour - Union Flag (Crimson with insignia and the honours for the Guards Division)
Colour Sergeants and Ensign
State Colour - Crimson with insignia and the honours and the Royal Cypher at the corners, used only for the Guards Division in ceremonies in the presence of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh
Colour Sergeants and Ensign
Regimental Colour - Union Flag on the canton with the Regimental Arms and honours
Foot Guards regiments (Union Flag)
Royal Regiments (navy blue)
Royal Irish Regiment (green)
other regimental colours
same as in the Queen's Colour
Combined Colour Guards (units)
Colour Sergeants, Ensign, Guard Sergeant of the Colours, Colour Sergeant Major
British Army (Cavalry)[edit]
In the cavalry, the Queen's Standard or Guidon and the Regimental/Squadron Standard or Guidon (for the light cavalry only) are the equivalents to the Queen's and Regimental Colours.
Queen's Standard - Crimson with the Royal coat of arms, the Royal Cypher and the regimental honours
Colour Sergeant/Corporal of Horse, Warrant Officers
Regimental/Squadron Standard/Guidon - Crimson or scarlet or other colours with the Royal Cypher, the Union Badge, regimental insignia and honours (only guidons are swallow tailed)
same as in the Queen's Standard/Guidon
Combined Colour Guards (units)
Colour Corporals/Sergeants, Warrant Officers, Guard Corporal/Sergeant of the Colours, Colours Corporal Major (Household Cavalry), Colours Sergeant Major (other cavalry and armour units)
Colour guards in the artillery units are technically the lead gun's crew and leader (except in the Honourable Artillery Company which uses both guns and Colours) and there are no colour guards in the rifle regiments (nowadays The Rifles), the Royal Gurkha Rifles (which use the Queen's Truncheon) and in the Royal Hospital in Chelsea.
Royal Navy[edit]
All of the RN's Queen's Colours are identical.
Queen's Colour - White Ensign defaced with the Sovereign's cypher and inscribed with honours
Ensigns and Escorts
White Ensign
Same as Queen's Colour
Combined Colour Guards
Escorts, Ensigns, Guard Sergeant of the Colours, CSM
Royal Marines[edit]
Queen's Colour - Union Jack with the Sovereign's cypher and the RM emblem and motto with the "Gibraltar" battle honour
Ensigns and Escorts
Regimental Colour - Union Jack on the canton and dark blue with HM King George IV's cypher and the unit name, and the Sovereign's cypher on the other corners
Enisgns and Escorts
Combined Colour Guards for the RM
Escorts, Ensigns, Guard Sergeant of the Colours, CSM
Royal Air Force[edit]
Queen's Colour - Royal Air Force Ensign with the Sovereign's cypher and the RAF roundel
Ensign and Armed escorts
RAF Ensign
Same as Queen's Colour
Squadron Colour - Air Force blue with the unit insignia and honours
same as Queen's Colour
Combined Colour Guards (units)
Colour Sgts., Ensigns, Guard Sergeant of the Colours, CSM
Honours for and to the colour guard[edit]
Aside from presenting arms and sabres British and Commonwealth colour guards are expected to lower their flags to the ground in full and regular salutes in ceremonies and parades. Civilians should stand during such times and soldiers are expected to salute them when not in formation.
China[edit]
Colour guards of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
In the Chinese People's Liberation Army, colour guards composed of
One ensign holding the flag of the People's Liberation Army as the national colour domestically or the flag of China abroad
Two officers assisting the ensign holding rifles
France[edit]
French colour guards are composed of:
One ensign holding the flag of France as the national colour
Two non-commissioned officers assisting the ensign
Three enlisted personnel behind to guard the colour
The colour guards of France's military academies tend to wear swords; those of NCO schools, other educational institutions and active units carry rifles instead.
Indonesia[edit]
An Indonesian Army colour guard
Pasukan Penjaga Panji-Panji/Pataka/Tunggul is the Indonesian term for a colour guard unit in the Indonesian National Armed Forces, the Indonesian National Police and the Municipal Police Units. These are modeled on the former Dutch practice and are led by a colour sergeant (massed colour guards are led on parade by a junior officer). Panji-Panji means "Service Colours" in Indonesian. The Colour guard uniform in Indonesia is all-white uniform with a white ceremonial combat helmet similar to the M1 helmet and white boots. If in the Armed Forces and the National Police, the escort personnel carry the M1, M-16, FN FAL or Pindad SSD-1 rifle while the colour officer carries his/her sabre.
Composition of the Indonesian colour guard unit
Colour officer
Lead squad carrying the unit colour or national flag
One colour sergeant/ensign
Two non-commissioned officers escorting the colour
Relief squad
One replacement colour sergeant/ensign
Two non-commissioned officers
Rear guard squad of three enlisted personnel (2 squads of 3-4 in the Indonesian Marine Corps)
Russia/CIS[edit]

A South Ossetian colour guard.
A Kyrgyz colour guard.
Russian colour guards are composed of:
Colour officer
One ensign or senior NCO holding the flag of Russia as the national colour or the unit color
Two enlisted personnel assisting the ensign
Active units, military academies, and guards of honor carry sabers in the color guard, if needed, rifles may be subsituted.
The same design is used for color guards in countries of the CIS.
Sweden[edit]
Swedish ceremonial colour guard at the opening of the Riksdag in 2011.
In Sweden the colour guard can be composed in three distinct manners: Greater colour guard, smaller colour guard and an officers guard. Each regiment, or military unit that carries a colour, in Sweden sets up its own colour guard. The Swedish military rank of fänrik (and the corresponding cavalry rank of kornet) was originally intended for the holder of the company flag. This duty was considered so prestigious that an officer was necessary to carry it out. Today, it is a regular officer rank.
Greater colour guard[edit]
This is composed of two commissioned officers, called fanförare (carriers of the colour) and eight enlisted soldiers. This stems from the time of king Gustavus Adolphus and the Thirty years war when all Swedish regiments had eight batallions. Each battalion contributed one soldier to the common colour guard.
Small colour guard[edit]
This is composed of one commissioned officer and four enlisted soldiers.
Officers guard[edit]
This is composed of three commissioned officers.
United States[edit]
Horse-mounted color guard from Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow
In the military of the United States, the color guard (where the word color is referring to the national flag) carries the National Color and other flags appropriate to its position in the chain of command. Typically these include a unit flag and a departmental flag (Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard). In addition to the flag bearers, who are positioned in the center of the color guard, there are two or more individuals who carry rifles and or sabres. This is a symbol that the flag (and its nation) will always be protected.
Composition of the US color guard[edit]
In the U.S., traditionally, the unit's sergeant major is responsible for the safeguarding, care, and display of the organizational colors. The sergeant major is also responsible for the selection, training, and performance of the members.[1] The color guard consists of enlisted members and is commanded by the senior (color) Sergeant, who carries the National Color and gives the necessary commands for movements and rendering honors during drill exercises or parade ceremonies.[2]
Pershing Rifles color guard
Being assigned to the color guard is considered an honor due to the fact that these individuals present and carry the symbols of their unit and country. Depending on the circumstance and subject to the orders of their commander, members may wear full dress or less formal uniforms. It is mandatory for all members of the color guard to wear headgear, for example, a garrison cap, beret, or service cap. On occasion, certain color guards can be horse-mounted.
A US color guard is made up of a "Color Sergeant" carrying the National Colors, a unit or command "Color Bearer", and two "Color Escorts".
Manoeuvering[edit]
The color guard is formed and marched in one rank at close interval (shoulder-to-shoulder). Since the National Colors must always be in the position of honor on the right,[3] the color guard must execute a special movement to reverse direction. It does not execute rear march, nor does it execute about face. Rather, it performs a maneuver derived from the standard countercolumn command, generally known as counter march or colors reverse march, in order to keep the precedence of flags in order.
Other drill movements performed by the color guard include presenting arms, left and right wheel (turns) marches, eyes right (upon passing the reviewing stand during a parade), casing/uncasing the colors, and fixing/unfixing bayonets (by the arms bearers).
United States Marine Corps color guard during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner". Note that the national flag does not dip.
Rendering honors[edit]
By the color guard[edit]
The color guard renders honors when the national anthem is played or sung, when passing in review during a parade, or in certain other circumstances. In these cases, the unit and departmental flags salute by dipping (leaning the flag forward). However, with the exception of a response to a naval salute, the United States national flag renders no salute. This is enshrined in the United States Flag Code and U.S. law.
To the color guard[edit]
In the U.S. military, individuals or units passing or being passed by uncased (unfurled) colors render honors when outdoors. Individuals who are not part of any formation begin the salute when the colors are six paces distant and hold it until they have passed six paces beyond the colors.[4]
Civilians are expected to stand at the position of attention with their right hand placed over their heart for the same period, and the salute applies to the uniformed organizations as well (especially the Scouts). Since recently, veterans are expected to salute the colors too, like their military counterparts including personnel not in uniform.
Other countries[edit]
The Swedish military rank of fänrik (and the corresponding cavalry rank of kornet) was originally intended for the holder of the company flag. This duty was so prestigious that an officer was necessary to carry it out, but it required no officer training. Today, it is a regular officer rank. The Dutch armed forces have similar ranks of vaandrig and kornet (aspirant officers who have not been sworn in yet).
