Book excerpt: Though American attitudes toward religion changed dramatically during the 1960s, interest in spirituality itself never diminished. If we listen closely, Michael Gilmour contends, we can hear an extensive religious vocabulary in the popular music of the decades that followed--articulating each generation's spiritual quest, a yearning for social justice, and the emotional highs of love and sex. Probing the lyrical canons of seminal artists including Cat Stevens, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, U2, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, Madonna, and Kanye West, Gilmour considers the ways--and reasons why--pop music's secular poets and prophets adopted religious phrases, motifs, and sacred texts.
Download or read book Star Guitars written by Dave Hunter and published by Voyageur Press (MN). This book was released on 2014-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. King's Lucille, Eric Clapton's Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan's First Wife, Billy F Gibbons' Pearly Gates, Neil Young's Old Black, and many more. Here's the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"--the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars--Clapton's Strat, Slash's Les Paul--and this book explains the stars' modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Guitars of the Gods: The Redemption of A. Lester Lord" is the stunning conclusion to the A. Lester Lord trilogy that began with "Cosmic Casino: The True Word of A. Lester Lord" and continued with "The Brief Long-Term Therapy of A. Lester Lord." Having failed to save Mankind from itself, first as God and then as a human, Lester pins his hopes on the slim chance of inducing Boss to break his own rule against divine intervention. But Luce has other plans. His hopes of taking over Headquarters from Boss' control depends on the human race to self-destruct. Luce, who was the brains behind the Russian election interference, is counting on Donald Trump to plunge the world into chaos with the support and protection of Lester's victorious opponent and his Republican colleagues in Congress. Having engineered Lester's defeat in his bid for a Congressional seat, Luce has now done all he could to guarantee the extinction of our race. He can only sit back and wait, depending on Lester to, once again fall short of his own expectations. On the background of the tumultuous events and controversies following the 2016 elections, Lester is pitted against Luce and his own conscience as he seeks meaning and purpose while hurtling toward a final and fateful decision that may determine the fate of Mankind. Along the way he resumes his musical career as drummer in a blues and rock band and becomes a professor of philosophy, ironically teaching a course on the classic arguments pro and con God's existence."Guitars of the Gods" is a tour de force of the culture war, politics, music, relationships, and morality that challenges the reader to evaluate and re-evaluate assumptions, social conventions and traditional beliefs in the context of our complex and confusing times.
