Download or read book Cowboy Song written by Graeme Thomson and published by Constable. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The truest measure of the man we have thus far' - Mojo 'Affectionate, impeccably researched biography' - Mail on Sunday 'Head and shoulders above the usual rock hagiography' - Sunday Telegraph The first biography to be written with the cooperation of the Lynott Estate, Cowboy Song is the definitive authorised account of the extraordinary life and career of Thin Lizzy guiding spirit, Philip Lynott. Leading music writer Graeme Thomson explores the fascinating contradictions between Lynott's unbridled rock star excesses and the shy, sensitive 'orphan' raised in working class Dublin. The mixed-race child of a Catholic teenager and a Guyanese stowaway, Lynott rose above daunting obstacles and wounding abandonments to become Ireland's first rock star. Cowboy Song examines his key musical alliances as well as the unique blend of cultural influences which informed Lynott's writing, connecting Ireland's rich reserves of music, myth and poetry to hard rock, progressive folk, punk, soul and New Wave. Published on the thirtieth anniversary of Lynott's death in January 1986, Thomson draws on scores of exclusive interviews with family, friends, band mates and collaborators. Cowboy Song is both the ultimate depiction of a multi-faceted rock icon, and an intimate portrait of a much-loved father, son and husband.

Book excerpt: The Earth faces a new age with a man from Mars and a woman from Venus. Behind their visit to Earth lies a desperate story involving love, betrayal, and revenge. The whole story begins with the terrible revenge of a sociopathic man. Betrayed by love, he made elaborate plans to dominate her body and mind. He secured funds through two projects, built underground organizations, and was at the center of the global economy and politics. And just as science came to power through nuclear weapons, he created something mysterious and threatened the whole world. He moved for "only one" goal. This grand narrative, which runs from minor love and separation, stories of hatred and revenge, to the birth of the new generation, raises important questions for us. What kind of mindset should we accept a man from Mars and a woman from Venus who is coming? What do they realize, and what is the truth of revenge? This book not only tells their stories, but also gives us new perspectives and deep insights. The journey from love fights to rookies, and the cruel game that unfolds in the process. I invite you to this maze-like complex and brilliant game. Now, let's open the book and enter their world. Surprise, shock, and emotion await.

Download or read book Reeled In Pre existing Music in Narrative Film written by Jonathan Godsall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why is pre-existing music used in films? What effects can its use have on films and their audiences? And what lasting impact can appropriation have on the music? Reeled In is a comprehensive exploration of these questions, considering the cinematic quotation of Beethoven symphonies, Beatles songs, and Herrmann scores alike in films ranging from the early sound era to the present day, and in every role from ‘main title theme’ to ‘music playing in bar’. Incorporating a discussion of such factors as copyright and commerce alongside examination of texts and their effects, this broad study is a significant contribution to the scholarship on music in screen media, demonstrating that pre-existing music possesses unique attributes that can affect both how filmmakers construct their works and how audiences receive them, to an extent regardless of the music’s style, genre, and so on. This book also situates the reception of music by film, and by audiences experiencing that music through film, as significant processes within present-day culture, while more generally providing an illuminating case study of the kinds of borrowings, adaptations, and reinventions that characterize much of today’s art and entertainment.
