Download or read book The Wrecking Crew written by Kent Hartman and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Oregon Book Award for General Nonfiction and Los Angeles Times bestseller "It makes good music sound better."-Janet Maslin in The New York Times "A fascinating look into the West Coast recording studio scene of the '60s and the inside story of the music you heard on the radio. If you always assumed the musicians you listened to were the same people you saw onstage, you are in for a big surprise!"-Dusty Street, host of Classic Vinyl on Sirius XM Satellite Radio If you were a fan of popular music in the 1960s and early '70s, you were a fan of the Wrecking Crew-whether you knew it or not. On hit record after hit record by everyone from the Byrds, the Beach Boys, and the Monkees to the Grass Roots, the 5th Dimension, Sonny & Cher, and Simon & Garfunkel, this collection of West Coast studio musicians from diverse backgrounds established themselves in Los Angeles, California as the driving sound of pop music-sometimes over the objection of actual band members forced to make way for Wrecking Crew members. Industry insider Kent Hartman tells the dramatic, definitive story of the musicians who forged a reputation throughout the business as the secret weapons behind the top recording stars. Mining invaluable interviews, the author follows the careers of such session masters as drummer Hal Blaine and keyboardist Larry Knechtel, as well as trailblazing bassist Carol Kaye-the only female in the bunch-who went on to play in thousands of recording sessions in this rock history. Readers will discover the Wrecking Crew members who would forge careers in their own right, including Glen Campbell and Leon Russell, and learn of the relationship between the Crew and such legends as Phil Spector and Jimmy Webb. Hartman also takes us inside the studio for the legendary sessions that gave us Pet Sounds, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and the rock classic "Layla," which Wrecking Crew drummer Jim Gordon cowrote with Eric Clapton for Derek and the Dominos. And the author recounts priceless scenes such as Mike Nesmith of the Monkees facing off with studio head Don Kirshner, Grass Roots lead guitarist (and future star of The Office) Creed Bratton getting fired from the group, and Michel Rubini unseating Frank Sinatra's pianist for the session in which the iconic singer improvised the hit-making ending to "Strangers in the Night." The Wrecking Crew tells the collective, behind-the-scenes stories of the artists who dominated Top 40 radio during the most exciting time in American popular culture.

Download or read book Aquarius Ascendant Secrets written by Saket Shah and published by Saket Shah. This book was released on 2020-01-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are times when people just can’t identify with the attributes of their Sun or Moon sign. In fact, they may feel that they are an antithesis of their zodiac sign. You may also have observed it. Your Leo friend may not seek attention, may be because he or she has a Capricorn ascendant. Your Sagittarius friend is very possessive, may be because he or she has a Scorpio Ascendant. It is easy to understand why some people do not correspond to their Sun or Moon signs once you know about what is the rising sign or Ascendant in a horoscope. Ascendant is the degree of the zodiac sign that was highest on the Easter horizon at the time and place of birth. When seen from Earth, the sky seems to move, so the entire zodiac can be observed in a span of 24 hours day which means the rising sign changes on the Eastern horizon every 2 hours because there are 12 zodiac signs. People tend to associate their physical, emotional and spiritual attributes more with rising sign at times.
Download or read book Mick written by Christopher Andersen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “He’s a smart little mother******,I’ll give him that.” —KEITH RICHARDS on MICK JAGGER IS he Jumpin’ Jack Flash? A Street Fighting Man? A Man of Wealth and Taste? All this, it turns out, and far more. By any definition, Mick Jagger is a force of nature, a complete original—and undeniably one of the dominant cultural figures of our time. Swaggering, strutting, sometimes elusive, always spellbinding, he grabbed us by our collective throat a half-century ago and—unlike so many of his gifted peers—never let go. For decades, Mick has jealously guarded his many shocking secrets—until now. As the Rolling Stones mark their 50th anniversary, journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen tears the mask from rock’s most complex and enigmatic icon in a no-holds-barred biography as impossible to ignore as Jagger himself. Based on interviews with friends, family members, fellow music legends, and industry insiders—as well as wives and legions of lovers—MICK sheds new light on a man whose very name defines an era and candidly reveals: —New details about Jagger’s jaw-dropping sexual exploits with more than four thousand women (including Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Uma Thurman, and France’s First Lady Carla Bruni)—as well as his encounters with several of rock’s biggest male stars. Also, the day Mick’s wife Jerry Hall and Keith Richards pleaded with Jagger to seek treatment for sex addiction. —The backstage drama surrounding Mick’s knighthood, and Jagger’s little-known ties to Britain’s Royal Family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton. —What he really thinks of today’s superstars—including Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, and Justin Bieber. —Never-before-revealed, behind-the-scenes accounts of his often turbulent relationships—from his band-mates, ravenous groupies, and rabid fans to such intimates as Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Jackie Onassis, Bill Clinton, and others. —Cocaine, LSD, hashish, and speed—the flabbergasting truth about the extent of Jagger’s substance abuse, and how long it really went on. —A rare glimpse into Mick’s business dealings and the killer instinct that has enabled him to amass a personal fortune well in excess of $400 million. —The stormy “marriage” between Mick and Keith that nearly ran aground over Keith’s searing comments—and all the scandal, mayhem, excess, madness, and genius that went into making the Rolling Stones “the world’s greatest rock-and-roll band.” Like its subject, this book is explosive and riveting—the definitive biography of a living legend who has kept us thrilled, confounded, and astounded. THIS IS MICK.

Download or read book Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon written by David McGowan and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. Members of bands like the Byrds, the Doors, Buffalo Springfield, the Monkees, the Beach Boys, the Turtles, the Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Steppenwolf, CSN, Three Dog Night and Love, along with such singer/songwriters as Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, James Taylor and Carole King, lived together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the Hollywood Hills. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn’t make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day. Far more integrated into the scene than most would like to admit was a guy by the name of Charles Manson, along with his murderous entourage. Also floating about the periphery were various political operatives, up-and-coming politicians and intelligence personnel – the same sort of people who gave birth to many of the rock stars populating the canyon. And all the canyon’s colorful characters – rock stars, hippies, murderers and politicos – happily coexisted alongside a covert military installation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rock star who doesn't know his own mind. A rising star who wants to save him. And a secret that will either save them... or tear them apart. RIVERS Lila Potter. Sunshine Girl. Rising star. And as of this week, my agent’s new favorite project—and one, I’ll add, that replaces her old favorite project, which was me. The agent—and for all I know, the record label and my publicist, too—have decided that I’m no longer worth their time. I’m too broken. Too dark. Too damaged. The sad thing is, they’re right. And Lila is a better option for all of them. She’s gorgeous and talented and sunny. The bright light to my darkness. The sunshine to my broken soul. And the only balm that can make me feel better. I’m in love with the girl and everything about her… but I also know that she’s too good for me. She’s too bright, too beautiful, and I’m willing to sell my entire life’s work to save her from anyone who might hurt her. Even if that someone is me. LILA Rivers Shine. Famous rockstar. Playboy. Angstiest musician around. And also a lost boy, not that anyone else has ever bothered to notice. But I saw it the first time I met him, even though he puts on a good show with his grunge, loud music, and ice-cold stares. I’ve never been able to stop seeing it. Rivers Shine is a good man who’s built a bad reputation just to keep himself protected from the world around him. He doesn’t want anyone seeing the real him, though he’s never told me why that is. The thing is, I do see the real him. I see the laughter. I see the wry sense of humor and the fact that he’d sell his own soul for the people he loves. I’ve even seen the teddy bear he doesn’t want anyone to know about. I also know he’s planning to sacrifice himself for the good of his band. And I’ll be damned if I’ll let him do that. Because I love him too much to allow it. Even if he’s the most dangerous—and possibly deadly—thing that’s ever happened to me. Guitars and Mistakes is the second in the Rivers and Lila duo of the Trouble Next Door series, and promises angsty rock stars, damaged heroes, and a girl who’s too stubborn to quit. HEA and heartbreak both guaranteed in this stunning conclusion to this duo! Watch for the next book in the Trouble Next Door series, Smoke and Mirrors, coming in fall 2024.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He’s got everything she ever wanted. She’s got everything he’s always needed. But when it comes to giving in to love, he’s going to give her a run for her money. LILA A music contract. It’s all I’ve ever wanted. And when my best friend and I hear that Olivia Johns and Connor Wheating—country’s newest It couple—are on tour and taking auditions, we jump at the chance. When we arrive and have a run-in with an agent—and she offers me a contract on the spot!—I jump again. Then I find out there’s a catch. I have to pretend to date one of the guys on the tour. Help to rehabilitate his (very, very bad) reputation. Hold his hand, smile for the cameras. The usual. And that doesn’t sound like it should be hard. Until I find out that rock star is Rivers Shine. The music industry’s resident bad boy… and the guy I accidentally slept with on my first night on the tour. The guy I saw right through. And the guy I think I might already be in love with. He’s got everything. Brooding good looks, the most kissable lips I’ve ever seen, and a hard exterior hiding something a whole lot softer underneath. I don’t think he is who he says he is. And I want to figure out what’s really under that heartbreaking exterior. Regardless of whether it costs me the contract I want so badly. RIVERS Okay, I know how this all looks. Bad boy, good girl. Cue the photographers and their bylines. Get the feel-good story in place. My agent will finally get the redemption story she’s been looking for all these years. But I’ve got a problem with that scheme. First off, I never go along with anyone else’s plan. I’ve been around the business way too long to fall for every idea pitched at me, and I’m stubborn enough to know I can get my way if I demand it. And the second problem? Lila Potter. She’s a good girl stuck in a bad scheme. Sunshine and rainbows being thrown up against a wall of shadow. Pure love and down-home goodness that are way too pure for the likes of me. The truth is, I want her. I want all of that. Being around her feels like being wrapped in warm cashmere while someone whispers that I’m going to be okay. And after a lifetime of having to take care of myself, I could fall right into that. Let Lila save me and love me for the rest of my life. I could. But I know that would do to her. It would break her the same way it’s broken everyone else I’ve attached myself to. And I might be the music industry’s biggest heartbreaker, but when it comes to Lila… Okay, I’ll just say it. I love her too much to let her go down that way. I won’t allow it. No matter how much my heart wants to give in to her. Tattoos and Heartbreak is the first in the Lila and Rivers duo of the Trouble Next Door series, and promises a broken rock star, a girl who's too sweet for him, plenty of angst (and a little spice!), and a chance at the HEA neither of them knew they needed. Their story concludes with the next in the series, Guitars and Mistakes.
