Remain in Love
Author: Chris Frantz
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250209234
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Two iconic bands. An unforgettable life. One of the most dynamic groups of the ‘70s and ‘80s, Talking Heads, founded by drummer Chris Frantz, his girlfriend Tina Weymouth, and lead singer David Byrne, burst onto the music scene, playing at CBGBs, touring Europe with the Ramones, and creating hits like “Psycho Killer” and “Burning Down the House” that captured the post-baby boom generation’s intense, affectless style. In Remain in Love, Frantz writes about the beginnings of Talking Heads—their days as art students in Providence, moving to the sparse Chrystie Street loft Frantz, Weymouth, and Byrne shared where the music that defined an era was written. With never-before-seen photos and immersive vivid detail, Frantz describes life on tour, down to the meals eaten and the clothes worn—and reveals the mechanics of a long and complicated working relationship with a mercurial frontman. At the heart of Remain in Love is Frantz’s love for Weymouth: their once-in-a-lifetime connection as lovers, musicians, and bandmates, and how their creativity surged with the creation of their own band Tom Tom Club, bringing a fresh Afro-Caribbean beat to hits like “Genius of Love.” Studded with memorable places and names from the era—Grace Jones, Andy Warhol, Stephen Sprouse, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, and Debbie Harry among them—Remain in Love is a frank and open memoir of an emblematic life in music and in love.

And the World Stops Making Sense
Author: Prabhat Kumar
Publisher: Prabhat Prakashan
ISBN: 9355218303
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
This is, indeed, a landmark collection. Besides the heart-rending. realistic poems, there are those notable not just for poignancy, but for sensitivity-replete with images of beauty and romance, affection and love, delicate feelings for persons close to heart (the daughter, parents, friends and the town). There is also the sadness of unfulfilled desires, of poverty and want, deprivation and victimisation. Besides love, longing and romance, there is also the touch of the mysterious, the magical and the uncommon. These are not poems written with diligence-setting down with a pen and a note book, summoning the Muse of Poetry, seeking the help of imagination and metaphors, but poems which have got themselves written down, forcing the poet to narrate them. These poems have an art and craft entirely their own, supported by empathy and understanding which transcend the ordinary human limitations. And beyond a these, the reality of the truth, presented with imagination, passion and a rare art which refuses to be typed.
