Meaning and song structure

The song describes the feelings and impressions of a dying deputy, who can no longer continue his role.

The song consists of four chords in the key of G major: G, D, Am7, and C. The basic pattern throughout the song is G-D-Am7-Am7 and then G-D-C-C, and this is repeated.

Over the years, Dylan has changed the lyrics (as have others who have covered the song) during various version and live renditions.

Covers

Although it was originally recorded as an acoustic song, “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” has been covered extensively in many styles, most famously by British blues-rocker Eric Clapton and by American hard-rock group Guns N’ Roses.

The song was performed by Bob Dylan & the Grateful Dead during the Dylan & The Dead tour in July 1987. Thereafter, the Grateful Dead (between August 1987 and July 1994) sometimes closed their shows with a performance of the song.

Other artists to perform the song include Bon Jovi, U2, Avril Lavigne, Bob Marley, The Animals, Wyclef Jean, Grateful Dead, Lynyrd Skynyrd,Aerosmith, The Sisters of Mercy, Bryan Ferry, Meir Ariel, The Alarm, Dan Kleederman Television, Mark Knopfler, Bruce Springsteen, The Tramp on Winchester High Street, Heaven, The Lost Dogs, Mungo Jerry, Luciano, Randy Crawford, Babyface, Beau Jacques, Chaozz, Roger McGuinn,Cold Chisel, Zé Ramalho, Sandy Denny, Antony and the Johnsons, Warren Zevon (whose version was released two weeks before his death), Roger Waters, Herman Brood, Nazareth, Angela Aki, Tomoya Nagaze and United Rhythms of Brazil. Duets on the song include a team-up of the South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo and U.S. country diva Dolly Parton, and the Red Army Chorus and Ensemble with the Leningrad Cowboys. Another more recent edition to covers of this song is one performed by Jane Gurney with backup singers Geoff C and Robert Staff. It was performed by Ruth Lorenzo on The X Factor (UK).

Although it is not a cover, Gabrielle’s UK number one single “Rise” samples extensively from the track.

Eric Clapton version

Eric Clapton recorded a version of the song in June 1975 and released it as a single later that year, two years after Dylan’s version was released. Live recordings from this era can be found on official Clapton releases such as 1996’s Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies, which features a London performance from April 1977. The song was not included on a full-length album until the release of the 1982 compilation Time Pieces: The Best of Eric Clapton. In 1989, Clapton and David Sanborn backed singer Randy Crawford in a new version recorded for the film soundtrack for Lethal Weapon 2. The song has been resurrected twice on the Jouneyman and One More Car, One More Rider world tours of 1990 and 2003.

The Alarm’s version

The Alarm regularly played the song during their gigs. While supporting U2 during the War Tour, Bono would join leader singer Mike Peters on stage. When The Alarm supported Dylan, the whole band joined him on stage to perform the song.

Guns N’ Roses version

In 1987, Guns N’ Roses started including the song in their live sets. They recorded a studio version in 1990 for Days of Thunder’s soundtrack, and in 1991 it appeared on the Guns N’ Roses studio album Use Your Illusion II. Released as the fourth single from the album, it reached #2 in the UK singles chart. Their performance of the song at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992 was used as the B-side for the single release and was also included on their Live Era: ‘87–’93 album, released in 1999.

This version has been covered live by canadian glam metal band Greywolfe.

Dunblane tribute version

In 1996, with the consent of Bob Dylan, musician Ted Christopher of Dunblane, Scotland wrote a new verse for “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” in memory of the schoolchildren and teacher killed in the Dunblane massacre. A cover version of the song, which included brothers and sisters of the victims singing the chorus and Mark Knopfler on guitar, was released on December 9 in the UK and reached number 1. The proceeds went to charities for children.

Avril Lavigne version

In 2003, Lavigne performed on a host of radio-sponsored multi-artist holiday, which took place on January 23, 2003, and ended on June 4, 2003. A music video was made with her performance. Later on her Try To Shut Me Up Tour she included a cover version of the song.

Plot

The police must investigate a series of robberies along a strip of land in the city. The robberies are committed by a group of three dimwitted criminals who do not seem to be able to do this on their own, and it is later revealed they are being guided by a literally shadow figure known as the “Mastermind”, who speaks to the three behind a wall of glass and uses a voice distortion device. The Police Academy group believes the string of robberies may be to intentionally lower property values in that part of the city. They also learn that someone must be ‘leaking’ information to the bad guys, which is why they are always one step ahead of the Police Academy. In the end, it turns out that the Mayor is the “Mastermind” and that Captain Harris has been unwittingly leaking information during his daily meetings with the Mayor.

G. W. Bailey (Captain Harris), David Graf (Tackleberry), and Lance Kinsey (Proctor) in Sweden in 1989 to promote Police Academy 6: City Under Siege.

Landmarks

Some of the landmarks and people in the film reference the city of Toronto, the city where most of the first 4 Police Academy’s was filmed:

• The police station is called Oakdale Police Station, referencing the Oakdale area of Toronto which a small area between the western intersections of Highway 400 and Finch Avenue, extending to just south of Sheppard Avenue, and east just past Jane Street. This is often referred to as part of the Downsview area of Toronto.
• The criminal organization behind the crime wave in the city is called the Wilson Heights Gang, a reference to Wilson Heights Boulevard, a street in the Downsview area. The specific area itself is called Wilson Heights.

Production

The movie was filmed entirely in Los Angeles, California.

Reception

The DVD/Video Guide by Mick Martin & Marsha Porter gave the first two Police Academy films 2 stars out of 5; and each subsequent film received a Turkey (their lowest score.) Fellow critic/historian Leonard Maltin seemed to concur; he said this film was “…recommended only for people who thought PA#5 was robbed at the Oscars.”

The movie performed poorly at the US Box Office grossing less than $11 million and marking the decline of the Police Academy franchise. It also earned the designation of being the first Police Academy movie not to place first in the US weekend box office.

Influences

Lois Mark Stalvey (?-December 7, 2004) was an author, educator and civil rights activist. She was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and died in Sedona, Arizona. A 1974 Time magazine feature on her writing reported that Stalvey wrote, “a remarkable chronicle of a white family’s confrontation with inner-city schools and a harsh indictment of an educational system that is a disaster for most of its pupils.”

Biography

Immediately after graduating from high school in the late 1940s Stalvey started her first writing job as a copy writer for the local Gimbels department store in Milwaukee. One year later, she married, and a year after that, she divorced. In the early 1950s she moved to Chicago and started an ad firm called Lois Mark & Associates. In 1955 she married advertising director Bennett Stalvey Jr. and sold her firm to become a homemaker.

In the late 1950s the couple moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where Lois Stalvey joined in a fight for an African American surgeon’s family to move into their segregated neighborhood in West Omaha, resulting in her husband being transferred to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1961.

In 1965 Stalvey formed the Panel of Philadelphians, which sent teams of four women, including a Catholic, a Jew, an African American, and a WASP, to talk with groups around the city about racial justice. The teams facilitated 110 programs in 1965.

Stalvey’s first book, The Education of a WASP, was published in 1970. In it she detailed her experience as a Caucasian learning about civil rights as a mother in Omaha in the 1960s.

In 1976 Stalvey divorced her husband and moved to West Philadelphia. There she began teaching writing and journalism at the Community College of Philadelphia, and wrote articles for the Philadelphia Inquirer and other newspapers.

Stalvey moved to Sedona, Arizona in 1979 to continue writing. Education of an Ordinary Woman, published in 1982, along with Three to Get Ready: The Education of a White Family in Inner City Schools, published in 1997, focused on her experiences after moving to the integrated West Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia.

Stalvey died in Sedona of emphysema on December 7, 2004.

Chun-Ming Kao.

The Reverend Dr Chun-Ming Kao (???, Taiwanese: Ko Chùn-bêng; born Tainan, 1929-06-06) is a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT). He graduated from Tainan Theological College and Seminary, and then studied at Selly Oak Colleges in England. He was the General Secretary of the PCT from 1970 to 1989, during which period he became a political prisoner for assisting participants in the Kaohsiung Incident (1979), in particular Shih Ming-teh. For this he was sentenced for 7 years in prison, and served his sentence from 1980 to 1984. While he was in prison, his wife Ruth Kao organized groups to help him and raised awareness in the worldwide Church about the human rights situation in Taiwan. After Chen Shui-bian was elected President in 2000, Chun-Ming Kao was appointed a Senior Advisor to the Office of the President. In 2006 he supported the then-president Chen against his former comrade Shih, who led a movement for a forced resignation of Chen called ‘Million Voices Against Corruption, President Chen Must Go’.

St-Thecla Church

Overview

Ma’loula (Arabic: ???????, Ma‘l?l?, from the Aramaic word ????, ma‘l?, meaning ‘high place’) is a town in Syria dominated by speakers of Western Neo-Aramaic. With two other nearby towns Bakh’a and Jubb’adin , it is the only place where the Western branch of the Aramaic languages is still spoken. The town is located 56 km to the northeast of Damascus, and built into the rugged mountainside, at an altitude of more than 1500 meters. The distance and geological features only aided the longevity of this linguistic oasis for over one and half thousand years. However, modern roads and transportation, as well as accessibility to Arabic-language television and print media - and for some time until recently, also state policy - have eroded that linguistic heritage. As of 2005, the town has a population of 2,000.

Religiously, the population consists of both Christians (Melkite) and Muslims. For the Muslim inhabitants, the legacy is all the more remarkable given that they were not Arabized, unlike most other Syrians who like them were Islamized over the centuries but also adopted Arabic and shifted to an “Arab” ethnic identity.

Ma’loula

There are two important monasteries in Ma`loula: Mar Sarkis and Mar Taqla. The Mar Sarkis monastery was built in the 4th century on the remains of a pagan temple, designed on the model of martyries, which have a simple, plain appearance. It was named after St. Sarkis (St. Sergius), a Roman soldier who was executed for his Christian beliefs. This monastery still maintains its solemn historical character. Mar Taqla monastery holds the remains of St. Taqla (Thecla); daughter of one of Seleucid princes, and pupil of St. Paul. According to legend, in the 1st century C.E, St. Taqla was being pursued by soldiers of her father to capture her because of her Christian faith. She came upon a mountain, and after praying, the mountain split open and let her escape through. The town gets its name from this gap or entrance in the mountain. However, there are many variations to this story among the residents of Ma`loula.

There are also the remains of numerous monasteries, convents, churches, shrines and sanctuaries. There are some that lie in ruins, while others continue to stand, defying age. Many pilgrims come to Ma`loula, both Muslim and Christian, and they go there to gain blessings and make offerings.
