Download or read book Rock Bottom written by Pamela Des Barres and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 1996-09-15 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dark moments of rock history fascinate and tantalize like the pathos of Greek tragedy. The bottom sinks lower, the air seems colder, the bad endings--when they are bad--seem beyond bad. The unlucky practitioners of our most thriving form of communal experience seem to hit rock bottom in ways only the most glamorous among us can--publicly. The stories remain obscure, half-seen in the shadowlands. In her familiar style, Pamela Des Barres shines light on the people whose art remains the background music to our popular culture. Des Barres asks, "What comes first, the addiction or the rock and roll?" The first apparent rock-and-roll death occured on Christmas Eve in 1959, when Johnny Ace blew his head off in a game of Russian Roulette between shows. Buddy Holly's four-seater plane crashes. Marvin Gaye's father shoots his son. Kurt Cobain puts a gun to his head. The headlines tell it all: ROCK SINGER FACES MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE, JAMES BROWN ADDICTED TO PCP, BASSIST FOR BAND HOLE FOUND DEAD. The messed-up lives, the burned-out golden boys and girls, the violence, the route toward rock bottom--Des Barres has a line on the souls of the public figures who lived desperate private lives to entertain us all.

Download or read book Discovering Taropian Songs written by Clee Smith and published by Slip the Trap. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to "Discovering Taropian Songs," a journey into a Tarot unlike any other. This is not merely a guidebook; it's an odyssey into the heart of a new Tarot deck that beckons the traveler to explore not just cards, but pathways of consciousness. Taropian Songs is a deck birthed from the union of time-honored wisdom and innovative vision, designed to awaken both neophyte and adept to the limitless possibilities contained within a shuffle, a draw, and a spread. You may wonder, what sets Taropian Songs apart in a world awash with Tarot decks and guidebooks? It lies in its aleatory essence—the dynamic, fluid nature that defies the rigidity of fixed interpretations. While most divination systems are static, frozen in the symbology of yore, Taropian Songs is a living entity, forever evolving in the hands of those who engage with it. Here, the cards are not stagnant images but melodic verses in a song that never ends, whose rhythms and harmonies vary with each shuffle, each layout. The traditional Tarot serves as a starting point, an ancestral heritage that Taropian Songs reveres but does not mimic. We honor the archetypal forces represented in conventional decks, yet we stretch beyond, into realms uncharted and voices unique. This deck and its accompanying book aim to navigate the fertile liminal space between known and unknown, between intuition and tradition. Every time the cards are shuffled, you're not merely reconfiguring paper; you're reshuffling the landscapes of your psyche and your possibilities. This book is an invitation for novices and seasoned Tarot practitioners alike. To the newcomer, it extends a warm welcome into the ineffable magic of divinatory storytelling. To the adept, it offers a fresh lens through which to view the cards you thought you knew. Regardless of where you find yourself on the Tarot journey, "Discovering Taropian Songs" calls upon you to enrich your practice by diving into this evolving, vibrant landscape.
