Download or read book Rockin Down the Highway written by Paul Grushkin and published by Voyageur Press (MN). This book was released on 2006 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this absolutely unprecedented and beautifully produced coffee-table volume, best-selling music writer Paul Grushkin draws on top museum collections and private archives, renowned photographers, lauded poster artists, and record labels to illustrate the remarkable 70-year synergy between music and motoring. The narrative comprises scores of first-person interviews with prominent figures and explores common themes that have been addressed in vehicle-related songs - as symbols of freedom, vehicles as status symbols, as courting tools, as utilitarian work conveyances, as metaphors (when Reverend Horton Heat sings about his "Big Red Rocket of Love," he's not just talking about his shoebox Ford), and vehicles simply as vehicles. Illustrated with images of musicians, bands, vehicles, album and poster art, and collectibles, the book draws direct lineages juxtaposing artists that may have previously seemed disparate. Also included are music's car-related lore and tragedies, like Gene Vincent's motorcycle accident that spurred his spiral into alcoholism; Hank Williams' death in the backseat of his Cadillac; the death of So-Cal punk icon D. Boon in a tour-van accident; and Neil Young connecting with Stephen Stills in L.A. because the latter saw the former's Ontario plates in a traffic jam. In the end, Wheels is the expansive sort of book that everyone from the most casual music fan to the most hardcore musicologist will find difficult to put down."--Provided by the publisher.

Book excerpt: "This book is a must read for anyone who is, or has faced physical or emotional trails in their life. It will not only encourage you, it will help you find hope." Craig Caster - Founder, Family Discipleship Ministries "Tim's book is a journey of loss that is heartbreaking. But more than that, it's a journey of redemption, hope and salvation. He's honest about what he's gone through and what it takes to live with NF2, his particular condition. But Tim has dug deep into his relationship with God and testifies of the sustaining grace for life and how God's promises keep him positive and focused. I say this not only from reading Tim's book, but from seeing him in the front row at church as I preach, from having coffee at Starbucks and talking church, Bible and mission. Tim's deepest desire is to be used by the God he loves to help people connect with Jesus and develop that kind of faith that he KNOWS FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE will sustain you through all that life may bring. You will enjoy this book. You will be moved by this book. Mostly you will be challenged by this book." Ed Noble - Lead Pastor, Journey Community Church

Download or read book Form as Harmony in Rock Music written by Drew Nobile and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overturning the inherited belief that popular music is unrefined, Form as Harmony in Rock Music brings the process-based approach of classical theorists to popular music scholarship. Author Drew Nobile offers the first comprehensive theory of form for 1960s, 70s, and 80s classic rock repertoire, showing how songs in this genre are not simply a series of discrete elements, but rather exhibit cohesive formal-harmonic structures across their entire timespan. Though many elements contribute to the cohesion of a song, the rock music of these decades is built around a fundamentally harmonic backdrop, giving rise to distinct types of verses, choruses, and bridges. Nobile's rigorous but readable theoretical analysis demonstrates how artists from Bob Dylan to Stevie Wonder to Madonna consistently turn to the same compositional structures throughout rock's various genres and decades, unifying them under a single musical style. Using over 200 transcriptions, graphs, and form charts, Form as Harmony in Rock Music advocates a structural approach to rock analysis, revealing essential features of this style that would otherwise remain below our conscious awareness.

Download or read book Willin written by Ben Fong-Torres and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saga of the legendary Los Angeles band Little Feat is one of rock 'n' roll's great stories. Formed in 1969 by ex-members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, Little Feat created groove-heavy music that was an irresistible mix of rock, blues, R&B, country, jazz, soul, and funk. Fronted by the charismatic but doomed vocalist and brilliant slide guitarist Lowell George, the band recorded such classic studio albums as Sailin' Shoes and Dixie Chicken, as well as Waiting for Columbus, which many consider to be one of the best live albums of all time. Acclaimed journalist Ben Fong-Torres -- working with Little Feat's surviving members, their friends, and associates -- wrote Willin' based on hours of brand new interviews with the key players. The result? The first definitive biography of this beloved rock 'n' roll institution.

Download or read book GTO written by Darwin Holmstrom and published by Crestline Books. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1963 Pontiac's Chief Engineer John DeLorean and his two favorite staff engineers, Bill Collins and Russ Gee, came up with an inspired way to keep Pontiac cars in the performance limelight: bolt a big engine into Pontiac's upcoming Tempest intermediate body. Thus was the GTO born. Through cunning, resourcefulness, and outright trickery the minds of Pontiac managed to get this rocket into dealerships and out onto America's highways, and to introduce that most iconic of American automobiles, the muscle car, to the nation’s most discriminating drivers. This is the story of the GTO, of the people who made it a reality and a sales sensation, of those who owned and loved the cars. And it is, above all, a story of the cars themselves, from the initial option package offered for the 1964 model year through the high-performance late-model standouts. With color photographs, drawings, and detailed stats, this book is not so much the story of a historic car as an illustrated biography of American muscle.

Download or read book Daily Doses Of Hope written by Gary Salmons and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's impossible to miss. Our culture is convulsing. Something fundamental has gone awry--out of whack--as the wise ones used to say. It's no exaggeration to say that every day one picks up the newspaper or tunes in the TV news, another cataclysmic event has occurred. So what's the solution? What do we do? We've tried political remedies to no avail. We've swung back and forth to two extremities on the political continuum. We've placed our faith in policies to pull us out of the predicament; nonetheless, our nation is divided like never before. Are we hopeless? If we continue to view human solutions as our answers, then maybe the answer is sadly yes. But what if we considered Christ and his gospel as the counters to our collapsing culture? He is. What if the principles held forth by the Prince of Peace could dissolve all international conflicts? They can. This book was written to ignite hope, to encourage, comfort, and urge its readers, according to 1 Thessalonians 12:2. Sometimes, it seems as if we need a life raft as we drift upon these stormy seas. May these reflections bring you peace. 1

Before leaving, Aaron receives an encrypted, anonymous email from one of his past lovers, persuading him to follow her clues among the fascinating attractions lining Americas Main Street. Aaron deciphers the several clues along the way and finally meets the mystery woman, Maria, amidst the Santa Monica Pier.

However, the hidden reality behind Maria slowly manifests, and it is beyond anything Aaron could have ever imagined. The ultimate mystery for Aaron to grasp, therefore, is how the love of his life can be involved in a desperate, radical event. Like so many business partnerships along the Mother Road, their relationship is forced to reconcile the warm, charming past with the cold, hard present. Can he understand and still love her? One thing is for sure--through their suffering Aaron is transformed, allowing him to move beyond his former addictions and lead a truly fulfilling life--a life inspired by the forsaken sense of community found among the struggling small towns of the Mother Road.
