Book Description
Humankind must learn to progress without contention. HERE WE ARE at the beginning of a new millennium and many of our social systems and ways of governing seem to fit like clothes from the back of the closet -- too tight and out of date. It's time to try something different, something more practical, fair and fun. The Velvet Monkey Wrench presents a way for humankind to exist on this planet, in balance, sensibly using what Earth has to offer. It explains a way to create a modern governmental structure, which gives the People, finally, the right to choose their present and future: a blueprint for a consensual society. Complete directions enclosed! This book first appeared in the dark days of the nuclear arms race, the bombing of Cambodia, Kent State, Watergate, and Wounded Knee. Today, exhausted by consumerism, dog-eat-dog competition, and more wars, we're still asking, "How-do-we-get-out-of-this-mess?" It's time to give John Muir's ideas a fresh look. Dead-on or off-the-wall, his prescient concepts will challenge your imagination. Here is a no-holds-barred practical plan, infused with satirical audacity and a warm, caring humanity.

The Velvet Underground
Author: Sean Albiez
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501338439
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Though The Velvet Underground were critically and commercially unsuccessful in their time, in ensuing decades they have become a constant touchstone in art rock, punk, post-punk, indie, avant pop and alternative rock. In the 1970s and 80s Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico produced a number of works that traveled a path between art and pop. In 1993 the original band members of Reed, Cale, Morrison and Tucker briefly reunited for live appearances, and afterwards Reed, Cale and briefly Tucker, continued to produce music that travelled the idiosyncratic path begun in New York in the mid-1960s. The influence of the band and band members, mediated and promoted through famous fans such as David Bowie and Brian Eno, seems only to have expanded since the late 1960s. In 1996 the Velvet Underground were in inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, demonstrating how far the band had traveled in 30 years from an avant-garde cult to the mainstream recognition of their key contributions to popular music. In these collected essays, Pattie and Albiez present the first academic book-length collection on The Velvet Underground. The book covers a range of topics including the band's relationship to US literature, to youth and cultural movements of the 1960s and beyond and to European culture - and examines these contexts from the 1960s through to the present day.
