Nirvana
Author: Everett True
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 078673390X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 688
Book Description
As the assistant editor of Melody Maker, Everett True was the first journalist to cover the Seattle music scene in early 1989 and interview Nirvana. He is responsible for bringing Hole, Pavement, Soundgarden, and a host of other bands to international attention. He introduced Kurt Cobain to Courtney Love, performed on stage with Nirvana on numerous occasions, and famously pushed Kurt onto the stage of the Reading Festival in 1992 in a wheelchair. Nirvana: The Biography is an honest, moving, incisive, and heartfelt re-evaluation of a band that has been misrepresented time and time again since its tragic demise in April 1994 following Kurt Cobain's suicide. True captures what the band was really like. He also discusses the music scene of the time -- the fellow bands, the scenes, the seminars, the countless live dates, the friends and allies and drug dealers. Drawn from hundreds of original interviews, Nirvana: The Biography is the final word on Nirvana, Cobain, and Seattle grunge.

Philables
Author: Philip Lehman
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Dr. Philip Lehman has no theological training so Philables are 'Layman stories' (pun intended) not sermons. Philables are intended to help believers see 'every act is an act of worship'. To see everyday events as teachable moments...little vignettes that can lead to moments of praise, reflection and encouragement. For several years Phil's morning devotions have frequently included writing short stories. Stories that are based on the day's scripture passage or some recent event. This allows him to bring Biblical values and lessons into his daily life in short, relatable stories. Several friends asked him to share these daily stories with them and have since encouraged him to have them published as they have shared them with their family and friends. Each weekday he also emails the new Philable to his niece, a missionary in Thailand and translates them into Spanish and emails them to a pastor in Peru. Other than scripture, ideas for these stories come to Phil in sermons, daily interactions with others, and comments and current events. Philables avoid politics and cultural concerns and conclude with a brief synopsis of a lesson to contemplate or scripture to bring the story into daily life. For example the first Philable ends: "Moriah returned from her mission trip in Australia with a serious fungal foot infection. Her friends and family saw dirty, smelly feet, her doctor saw infected feet, God saw beautiful feet." 'As it is written 'How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things' (Romans 10:15). Go get your feet dirty...get off the sidewalk. Be in the world but apart from the world. Don't worry about what man sees. Follow Jesus' example.

Seduced and Abandoned
Author: Richard Smith
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1474286984
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Smith examines the different ways in which gay men use pop music, both as producers and consumers, and how, in turn, pop uses gay men. He asks what role culture plays in shaping identity and why pop continues to thrill gay men. These 40 essays and interviews look at how performers, from The Kinks' Ray Davies to Gene's Martin Rossiter, have used pop as a platform to explore and articulate, conform to or contest notions of sexuality and gender. A defence of cultural differences and an attack on cultural elitism, Seduced and Abandoned is as passionate and provocative as pop itself.
