Download or read book Soothing The Savage Beat written by Eric Augustine Lopez and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-10 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When natural disasters, famine, social chaos, and government collapse spell the end of human existence, a new world is born. But in some ways it's really a return to an old world, and its survival depends on total government control. The new one-government world must rebuild with survivors and remaining technology. And simplicity holds the answers. Sort of. In the early decades of the 21st century people demanded more government intervention, thinking life would be better. The government agreed, providing housing, food, jobs, clothing, drugs, and of all things- music. After all, who can live without music. But by mid-century the music of the day was as bleak and featureless as everything else. Although it was a dark, heavy-metal, meaningless kind of music, it was all anybody knew. The people wanted it, and the government needed it. It was cheap entertainment, but also a valuable tool. It was the oil in the machine, keeping things running in a rough world . It may seem impossible, but in the future the music of Bach, Mozart, and many other greats, even the Beatles, Dylan, Led Zeppelin, country, rock, jazz and other styles and genres would be forgotten. Until one man finds a way to revive music of the past, and use it to rebuild, reshape society, soothing the savage world. After all, music has always had a significant impact on societies everywhere throughout history. But nothing is easy to fix when time is not on your side. In the year 2096, resources are still very limited, tightly controlled, and people living too long is a problem for the government. This kind of future should be no surprise. You can see it coming if you open your eyes and ears. What's happening today is nothing new, and tomorrow may be just a repeat of the past. Societies rise and fall, and music will always be in the mix. What goes around, comes around. History proves it. But in the future, history may very well. . . fade into history, along with great literature and other evidence of the best of human achievement. History is the foundation on which to build the future, but if that foundation crumbles, or gets erased, so will the future. All that can be done is to re-build from the ground up, from scratch. Darkness is the absence of light, and it is the responsibility of the musician to bring light into the darkness of the human heart and soul. And some of that music, centuries later, still burns bright. All we have to do is let it shine. In 2096, one man is about to open a can of Beethoven #9.
Download or read book Is It Still Good to Ya written by Robert Christgau and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is It Still Good to Ya? sums up the career of longtime Village Voice stalwart Robert Christgau, who for half a century has been America's most widely respected rock critic, honoring a music he argues is only more enduring because it's sometimes simple or silly. While compiling historical overviews going back to Dionysus and the gramophone along with artist analyses that range from Louis Armstrong to M.I.A., this definitive collection also explores pop's African roots, response to 9/11, and evolution from the teen music of the '50s to an art form compelled to confront mortality as its heroes pass on. A final section combines searching obituaries of David Bowie, Prince, and Leonard Cohen with awed farewells to Bob Marley and Ornette Coleman.

He thinks his sleuthing days are over, but when Julia Wolf, a former acquaintance, is found dead, her body riddled with bullets, Nick - along with his glamorous wife, Nora - can't resist making a few enquiries. Clyde Miller Wynant, Julia's lover and boss, has disappeared.

Download or read book The Book of the Former Prophets written by Thomas W Mann and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Former Prophets of the Hebrew Bible includes the books of Joshua through 2 Kings; it is a narrative of ancient Israel's history of some seven hundred years from the 'conquest' of Canaan to the exile, when Israel lost the land. Thomas Mann adoptsa critical perspective and incorporates many distinct literary sources from different times into his work. The result is a compelling example of ancient historiography as well as an impressive artistic achievement. The book contains fascinating (andoften horrifying) stories of war, religious fanaticism, terror, and disaster, as well as stories of deep personal loyalty, friendship, and faith. Finally, in a deeply thoughtful and constructive way, The Former Prophets addresses perennial questionslike, amongst others, 'What is the relationship between divine sovereignty and human political institutions?' or 'In what sense are historical events the result of human acts and also of divine Providence?'

Download or read book A Dictionary of American Proverbs written by Wolfgang Mieder and published by New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have a gift for coining proverbs. "A picture is worth a thousand words" was not, as you might imagine, the product of ancient Chinese wisdom -- it was actually minted by advertising executive Fred Barnard in a 1921 advertisement for Printer's Ink magazine. After all, Americans are first and foremost a practical people and proverbs can be loosely defined as pithy statements that are generally accepted as true and useful. The next logical step would be to gather all of this wisdom together for a truly American celebration of shrewd advice.A Dictionary of American Proverbs is the first major collection of proverbs in the English language based on oral sources rather than written ones. Listed alphabetically according to their most significant key word, it features over 15,000 entries including uniquely American proverbs that have never before been recorded, as well as thousands of traditional proverbs that have found their way into American speech from classical, biblical, British, continental European, and American literature. Based on the fieldwork conducted over thirty years by the American Dialect Society, this volume is complete with historical references to the earliest written sources, and supplies variants and recorded geographical distribution after each proverb.Many surprised await the reader in this vast treasure trove of wit and wisdom. Collected here are nuggets of popular wisdom on all aspects of American life: weather, agriculture, travel, money, business, food, neighbors, friends, manners, government, politics, law, health, education, religion, music, song, and dance. And, to further enhance browsing pleasure, the editors have provided a detailed guide to the use of the work. While it's true that many of our best known proverbs have been supplied by the ever-present "Anonymous," many more can be attributed to some very famous Americans, like Ernest Hemingway, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas Alva Edison, Abigail Adams, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, to name but a few offered in this fascinating collection.Who wouldn't want to know the origin of "the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings?" This uniquely American proverb and many more are gathered together in A Dictionary of American Proverbs. A great resource for students and scholars of literature, psychology, folklore, linguistics, anthropology, and cultural history, this endlessly intriguing volume is also a delightful companion for anyone with an interest in American culture.
