Download or read book Exit Stage Left written by Nick Duerden and published by Headline. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **INDEPENDENT BOOK OF THE MONTH** **GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE DAY** **FINANCIAL TIMES 'BEST SUMMER BOOKS 2022' PICK** 'Incredibly moving.' - Guardian 'Entertaining.' - Telegraph 'Most books about pop stars focus on the way we turn average human beings into demi-gods. In writing a book about how they have to turn back into humans Nick Duerden has done both us and them a service.' - David Hepworth 'Funny, poignant and often inspirational.' - Mat Osman The desire for adulation is a light that never goes out. We live in a culture obsessed by the notion of fame - the heedless pursuit of it; the almost obligatory subsequent fallout. But what's it like to actually achieve it, and what happens when fame abruptly passes, and shifts, as it does, onto someone else? This is the point at which pop stars are at their most heroic, because they don't give up. They keep on striving, keep making music, and refuse simply to ebb away. Some sustain themselves on the nostalgia circuit, others continue to beaver away in the studio, no longer Abbey Road, perhaps, so much as the garden shed. But all of them, in their own individual ways, still dare to dream. Exit Stage Left features tales of drug addiction, bankruptcy, depression and divorce, but also of optimism, a genuine love of the craft, humility and hope. This is a candid, laugh-out-loud and occasionally shocking look at what happens when the brightest stars fall back down to earth. 'Exit Stage Left is the book I've long wanted to read about the PTSD-like after-effects of pop stardom - and Nick Duerden is the perfect writer for the job. The pop star's bittersweet lot is represented with flair and empathy.' - Pete Paphides, author of Broken Greek 'Exit Stage Left is a funny and poignant book, drawing on Duerden's considerable experience as a journalist and interviewer . . . he understands what motivates this strange bunch of people.' - Andy Miller, Spectator 'Fame is the brightest candle, but in this brilliant collection of interviews, Nick Duerden answers the question: what does a candle do after it's burned out?' - David Quantick 'Duerden finds fascinating layers of humanity, pathos, humour and wisdom in equal measure. A brilliant book, for artists and fans alike.' - Frank Turner Featuring brand new interviews with the likes of: Bob Geldof, Shaun Ryder, Robbie Williams, Roisin Murphy, Stewart Copeland, Billy Bragg, Wendy James, Alex Kapranos, Joan Armatrading, Leo Sayer, Gary Lightbody, Lisa Maffia, Tim Booth, Bill Drummond, Rufus Wainwright, David Gray, and Justin Hawkins.

Download or read book Southeast Asian Affairs 2015 written by Daljit Singh and published by Flipside Digital Content Company Inc.. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeast Asian Affairs is the only one of its kind: a comprehensive annual review devoted to the international relations, politics, and economies of the region and its nation-states. The collected volumes of Southeast Asian Affairs have become a compendium documenting the dynamic evolution of regional and national developments in Southeast Asia from the end of the 'second' Vietnam War to the alarms and struggles of today. Over the years, the editors have drawn on the talents and expertise not only of ISEAS' own professional research staff and visiting fellows, but have also reached out to tap leading scholars and analysts elsewhere in Southeast and East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, North America, and Europe. A full list of contributors over forty years reads like a kind of who's who in Southeast Asian Studies.Regardless of specific events and outcomes in political, economic, and social developments in Southeast Asia's future, we can expect future editions of Southeast Asian Affairs to continue to provide the expert analysis that has marked the publication since its founding. It has become an important contributor to the knowledge base of contemporary Southeast Asia.- Donald E. Weatherbee, Russell Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of South Carolina

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nik was out of Higgins's league, until he fell into his arms. Nik was too sizzling hot. Too unattainable. Being Nik's butler made Higgins’s head spin. Higgins is over Nik, mostly. Higgins never turns on the radio. He covers his ears if anyone talks about alpha rock stars. And he never, ever sifts through those memories. He doesn’t need that kind of roller coaster. Until the roller coaster pulls up at Higgins's front gate. Nik still has the muscles, the blue eyes, the guitar case, and the goatee. But something’s different. Nik shouldn't have loved his bandmate. Or he shouldn't have loved anybody. That's even better. Nik will crash at Omegaverse for a while. It's not supposed to last. But Higgins wakes up with morning sickness. Nik is too dangerous, too unpredictable, too alpha. Higgins will have to be a single father. Unless Higgins can find another chance with the red-hot alpha who still makes his head spin. Second Chance With the Unforgettable Alpha is a feel-good non-shifter mpreg romance between a nerdy manny and a reforming bad boy rock star. It's full of alpha strength, omega sass, outdoor showers, innovative uses of the Jeopardy! theme song, an adorable baby, and a big HEA for two fathers in love.
