Download or read book Mama was a Rolling Stone written by Nancy Kings and published by Nancy Kings. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I love my Mama and decided to honor her by showing not only myself but also others that during life’s adversities, sicknesses, deaths, and financial struggles, our past does not determine our future! Mama was 4.11 ft. tall and had been married multiple times, had multiple boyfriends, and even multiple one-night stands. Mama was shaped like a Coca-Cola bottle, had long thick hair, and had a pretty skin tone. She had skin like a baby and it was soft as cotton. Her eyes were shaped like a diamond and they slightly protruded in a sexy way. However, her blessing of beauty was sadly also a curse. Her struggles in life growing up in Why Not, Mississippi with a 5th-grade education and the loss of her mom, caused Mama to go through some trying times and struggles. Due to Mama’s struggles, Mama made choices that had temporary sex, but permanent consequences. Mama was ashamed of the path she took in life, selling sex as a financial means to provide for her children but she took the STONES she had in life and turned them into gems. One of those gems she created was me. Although I struggled with some of the same mistakes as Mama, I resisted the things that I could and obeyed most of Mama’s lessons. Mama helped me to triumph and become the successful entrepreneur I am today. Both our stories will be shared in this book and I hope this book will be a revelation for some and transformational for many. Who knew that Papa being A Rolling Stone had a domino effect that sometimes made Mama a Rolling Stone too!

Download or read book A Life in Focus written by Graham Nash and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music legend, photographer, and artist Graham Nash reflects on more than fifty years of an extraordinary life in this extensive collection of personal photographs, paintings, and mixed-media artwork. In this curated collection of art and photography from his personal archive, Graham Nash’s life as a musician and artist unfolds in vivid detail. Best known as a founding member of the Hollies and supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash, Graham developed a love of photography from the time he was a child. Inspired by his father, Nash began taking pictures at 10 years old and would go on to take his camera with him ever since—on tour with the Hollies and later CSN and CSNY, among friends at Laurel Canyon and abroad. Many of his photographs depict intimate moments with family and friends, among them Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills, and Neil Young. This volume presents these images alongside Nash’s own reflections, telling the story behind the pictures and giving insight into the life of one of the greatest musicians of all time.

Download or read book Like a Rolling Stone written by Greil Marcus and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2006-04-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greil Marcus saw Bob Dylan for the first time in a New Jersey field in 1963. He didn't know the name of the scruffy singer who had a bit part in a Joan Baez concert, but he knew his performance was unique. So began a dedicated and enduring relationship between America's finest critic of popular music -- "simply peerless," in Nick Hornby's words, "not only as a rock writer but as a cultural historian" -- and Bob Dylan. In Like A Rolling Stone Marcus locates Dylan's six-minute masterwork in its richest, fullest context, capturing the heady atmosphere of the recording studio in 1965 as musicians and technicians clustered around the mercurial genius from Minnesota, the young Bob Dylan at the height of his powers. But Marcus shows how, far from being a song only of 1965, "Like a Rolling Stone" is rooted in faraway American places and times, drawing on timeless cultural impulses that make the song as challenging, disruptive, and restless today as it ever was, capable of reinvention by artists as disparate as the comedian Richard Belzer and the Italian hip-hop duo Articolo 31. "Like a Rolling Stone" never loses its essential quality, which is directly to challenge the listener: it remains a call to arms and a demand for a better world. Forty years later it is still revolutionary as will and idea, as an attack and an embrace. How Does it Feel? In this unique, burningly intense book, Marcus tells you, and much more besides.

Book excerpt: You ain't nothing but a "Hound Dog" ... with these words shouted into the microphone she will always be remembered: Big Mama Thornton. Who is this woman who sang the megahit "Hound Dog" before Elvis Presley and who wrote "Ball & Chain," the song that catapulted Janis Joplin to sudden fame? The story begins with her first musical attempts in the Hot Harlem Revue as a girl of 14. Then the book follows her journey into the Mecca of Texas Blues, Houston, where Big Mama Thornton met Johnny Otis, with whom she recorded her greatest success--"Hound Dog." With the slowdown of the blues in the early sixties this book follows Big Mama Thornton's way to California, discusses her struggle to survive and celebrates her impressive musical comeback in the course of the blues revival and the hippie movement. With the end of the sixties, facing a declining interest in the old school blues, the book shows how Big Mama Thornton found her niche in clubs and festivals in the U.S. and Europe. The book then follows Big Mama Thornton through the seventies and eighties until her untimely death.

With the country in economic turmoil due to the effects of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, her family is initially successful in evading the destitution of others by taking to the road. They target areas not yet wiped out by the loss of income to find consumers of their products, using a bartering system when customers are unable to pay with cash. For several years they are able to not only make a living, but are able to enjoy their travels in the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas. When the situation becomes so bad that no one has any money and everyone seems destined for the "poorhouse," Millie and her family are forced to return to their farm in rural Arkansas to "ride out" the hard times. Her stories are then of their day-to-day struggle to survive, with lessons in life that have guided the author through nearly a hundred years of life.
