Download or read book Sorry Millennials We re Not Dead Yet written by Gary Wexler and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boomer Rebellion shines a defiant, yet creative spotlight on the injustice of ageism and the casting of Boomers as now irrelevant in society, whether professionally, personally or as social activists. The book advocates that Boomers return to their Sixties roots of protest, bringing the generation back together, taking on this Rebellion as their legacy accomplishment to once again shake up the world. This Rebellion builds a powerful and creative movement, in-person and online, in collaboration with the Millennial Generation, who are both their adversaries and their partners, learning from each other the methodologies and values of their generations. In the second half of the book, The Manifesto, ten big unexpected creative ideas are presented as the core building blocks. These ideas not only meant to propel the Rebellion towards success, but also demonstrate that creativity and Big Ideas are the path to both personal and professional relevancy and transition. Throughout, the Manifesto is laced with both the "Wake-Up Calls" and "The Journey," the author's own dramatic stories, struggles and transition from being professionally discarded to emerging several years later as relevant and in-demand.

Book excerpt: Two long-time, seventy-something writing partners share how they and other aging boomers can navigate this new stage of their lives with optimism, energy, humor, honesty, and empathy. It’s a gift to reach old age and to arrive there well and ready for more years. The two authors of Not Dead Yet find that it’s time now to tidy-up their lives—to live fully in the moment with less clutter, better planning, and to free themselves to travel more, read, work, volunteer, and enjoy grown children and grandchildren. These later years bring challenges but also the advantage of wisdom about their minds and bodies. Not Dead Yet is the one book that brings home all the challenges in witty, meaty chapters that provide realistic solutions through the experiences of its two female septuagenarian authors, as well as through those of other boomer women and men of varying incomes, religions, ethnicities, and locations.From sex and dating to travel and volunteer work, writers Barbara Ballinger and Margaret Crane, who faced becoming single in their last book, Suddenly Single After 50, now cope with the older decades by employing the same humor, honest storytelling, empathy, and energy. Their conclusions reflect a firm resolve that there is much life yet to be lived. Giving hope, guidance, and optimism to readers, they provide affirmation for anyone hoping to clear the hurdles and live life fully, presently, and with an eye toward fulfillment and wellness.

Download or read book Is Rock Dead written by Kevin J.H. Dettmar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock and roll's death has been forecast nearly since its birth; the country song "The Death of Rock and Roll" appeared in September 1956, showing that the music had already outraged a more conservative listening audience. Is Rock Dead? sets out to explore the varied and sometimes conflicting ways in which the death of rock has been discussed both within the discourse of popular music and American culture. If rock is dead, when did it die? Who killed it? Why do rock journalists lament its passing? Has its academic acceptance stabbed it in the back or resuscitated an otherwise lifeless corpse? Why is rock music the music that conservatives love to hate? On the other side of the coin, how have rock's biggest fans helped nail shut the coffin? Does rock feed on its own death-and-rebirth? Finally, what signs of life are there showing that rock, in fact, is surviving? Is Rock Dead? will appeal to all those who take seriously the notion that rock is a serious musical form. It will appeal to students of popular music and culture, and all those who have ever spun a 45, cranked up the radio, or strummed an air guitar.

Download or read book Boomers written by F. Korn and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The action of this daytime soap opera is set just before today - when DOS and slower-than-snails modems ruled, and weekends were long and sybaritic; when Friday night meant singles bars, and Sunday night, singles at the church; when the high days of sexual frisson would segue into the plague and its sexual terror. In the course of nine mini-seasons, narrator Judy confesses to and discloses the high jinxes and desperations that have led to the way we live now. Judy offers, in conversations with her psychoanalyst and with her friends, full but treacherous disclosure. This darkly humorous sitcom of Boomer manners should be required reading for an understanding of the generation that realized and betrayed the sexual revolution; the generation that, ever at war with itself, fashioned a world of perpetual war. The unforgettable characters in this novel will strike a chord with those who know and love members of the Boomer generation. Fred Korn, born in New York and educated in the Midwest, has lived for many years in Florida, Illinois, Idaho, Ontario, and Italy. A retired educator, he has published poetry and prose in a variety of journals. He has also exhibited his photographs in galleries on both coasts as well as in the Midwest. After decades of research in the field, he lives near Lake Champlain in a small community of dairy farmers, cows, sheep, and alpacas.

Download or read book Oh My Gosh Virginia written by Kay Grafe and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book doesn't have one plot like a novel. Oh My Gosh, Virginiahas a whopping 100 plots. This book is a collectionof my columns over the past fteen years. "Grin and Bare It" means exactly what it says. I have no secrets in my columns. I call my writing essays orcommentaries. Each column has a series of facts, combined with my opinions. At times, my writing is tongue-in-cheek, which confused my mother-in-law. She'd say, "Hon, I think I like your stories, but I don't understand them." My writing goal in the monthly news magazine Today in Mississippiand the George County Timesis to entertainand encourage people to lighten up. A few stories are sentimental, but the main thing is they are true life happenings.You will most likely nd yourself in many of the stories, since I write about things we all have in common. I frequently speak to civic organizations, women's clubs, bank socials, country clubs and church groups. Once I wasintroduced at a Methodist Church dinner in Columbia, Mississippi, and the president of the organization said, "Kayhas come to make us laugh." I'm not a comedian, so that made me very nervous. I call myself a humorist when I write or speak. The differencein a comedian and a humorist is that a comedian tells one joke after another, and in our day, many of them are off-color. No thank you. That's not me. On the other hand, a humorist writes about the fun side of life and, in the process, has an encouraging message to deliver. I believe we need all the encouragement we can get. I write some funnystories now and again, but I don't call them jokes. People like me I call "incident prone." Things just seem to happen to us. A few months ago in my ladies' SundaySchool class, I'd unbuttoned the top button of my suit skirt because it was tight after a ve-pound weight gain, andit fell off when I stood up. I froze in shock and stood at my chair like a statue. Two helpful members grabbed myskirt and pulled it up for me. My readers like pet stories, travelogues, memories, current events that are fun and different and, well, just look inthe Table of Contents for some other topics. I stress a good attitude in stories and speeches, though we're all faced with unwanted changes, unexpectedchallenges and unpleasant surprises. I've heard it said that things work out best for those who make the best outof the way things work out. I liked that, so I adopted it as my philosophy for life. Keep grinning Helen Kay Fountain Grafe"
