Book excerpt: Introduction As we human beings become, in a manner of speaking, our "composite selves," with values and attitudes reasonably well established, many of us tend to examine the trajectory of our lives, our accomplishments, successes and failures, where we've been and where we're headed. In what I like to call my "GeezerHood," happily still among the living and having reached a certain age, I started writing down certain reflections, on a monthly basis, a "blog," to use the parlance of today's computer and internet age. Following the accepted definition, "Memoirs of a Geezer" is indeed informal and conversational, a series of thoughts and recollections, complete with characters, creatures and, at times, a few questions. Attempting to mirror shared experiences, in a way to empathize with a wide audience of possible adherents, kindred spirits and potential readers, the objective of the blog began and remains, for the most part, a means of offering a light-hearted and humorous look at life's adventures -- small and large -- at our own absurdities and imperfections, in an effort to suggest, "Hey, that's me," or, "I had that same reaction," or, "Holy cow, I've been there too..." Presented herein, "Memoirs of a Geezer," a book that consists (at the moment) of 39 postings or episodes, with, I hope, many more to follow... no promises, of course. Life has a way of scything through its dense thickets with little or no regard for human direction or intervention! Experiences and events are presented truthfully (mainly), with an aim toward universality, meaning any of it could happen, or has happened, to any one of us who inhabit the mortal sphere.

Download or read book Old Geezer s Memoirs written by J Ellison and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe, an elderly gentleman in his eighties, sat listening to a speaker on TV. The speaker asked his audience, "Where has your journey in life taken you? What were your challenges? How did you overcome these challenges? What are your happy memories? Have you written down your journey for your posterity to enjoy? Or, will you become just a name in your family's history, unknown by the third generation?" Joe had never thought about such questions. It caused him to realize that everyone born must take life's journey, like in the old song, "Life is like a mountain railway." Some will bear the scars of that journey. Some will meet the trials and experiences in life and overcome them. Others will look back at the "good old days" with nostalgia. He could see the wisdom of writing down his journey through life, telling both pleasant and not so pleasant things, and how each situation was handled; that perhaps it might help his descendants as they face life's challenges. Going to his computer he began to write.

Book excerpt: Written in his own unmistakable voice, this is a frank and fascinating account of a geezer's life in the music business. Jah Wobble begins by offering the most authentic insider's account of the beginning of punk rock yet written, but there's much more to him than that. His is an eventful life, as the celebrated ups - PiL's The Metal Box, 90s hit Visions Of You with Sinead O'Connor - are balanced by major downs - chronic alcoholism and marital breakdown. It begins with an East End childhood in a London barely recovered from the War and ends with Wobble finally turning his back on London that no longer feels like home. Through the book Wobble tell it like he sees it: his opinions of the great and good from Malcolm Mclaren to Peter Gabriel to Brian Eno to Iain Sinclair are refreshingly disrespectful. Oh and if you ever wondered how got his name, the answer is here: his teenage pal Sid Vicious gave it to him when he drunkenly slurred Wobble's real name, John Wardle.
