Download or read book The Valley Diner Boys written by William Beatrice and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-11-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade of the fifties is considered to be “The Age of Innocence” by historians. Television was in its infancy and those who could afford one watched The Ed Sullivan Show, Howdy Doody and Alfred Hitchcock Presents in black and white. Radio stations still boasted such programs as Sky King, The Lone Ranger, Ellery Queen, Inner Sanctum and Gang Busters, and all with enormous audiences. Women wore dresses; girls wore cardigans buttoned up the back over pinecone bras, and only boys wore jeans. Spanking a child was not considered child abuse, and even the tougher teenagers addressed their elders as “sir” or “mam.” A girl may have smoked cigarettes but she never did it on a public street, and a man always held a door open for a lady. It’s true; times were simpler back then, but not nearly as innocent as historians would lead us to believe. This is not a history book. Instead this story takes us back to that time and dispels the myth that has been perpetuated by those who were not there to witness the events. Through the eyes of teenagers, typical of those who lived in any of the small cities and towns across America during that time, the reader will find themselves with memories resurrected that they can personally relate to. Though fictionalized, all of the characters depicted in the book are “real,” and with whatever one you may empathize, you will feel very comfortable wearing their crinolines or motorcycle jackets.

Download or read book A Good Bad Boy written by Margaret Wappler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An artful and contemplative tribute to the late actor famed for his role as Dylan McKay in Beverly Hills, 90210. Best known for playing loner rebel Dylan McKay in Beverly Hills 90210, Luke Perry was fifty-two years old when he died of a stroke in 2019. There have been other deaths of 90’s stars, but this one hit different. Gen X was reminded of their own inescapable mortality, and robbed of an exciting career resurgence for one of their most cherished icons—with recent roles in the hit series Riverdale and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In Hollywood bringing him renewed attention and acclaim. Only upon his death, as stories poured out online about his authenticity and kindness, did it become clear how little was known about the exceedingly humble actor and how deeply he impacted popular culture. In A Good Bad Boy, Margaret Wappler attempts to understand who Perry was and why he was unique among his Hollywood peers. To do so, she uses an inventive hybrid narrative. She speaks with dozens who knew Perry personally and professionally. They share insightful anecdotes: how he kept connected to his Ohio upbringing; nearly blew his 90210 audition; tried to shed his heartthrob image by joining the HBO prison drama Oz; and in the last year of his life, sought to set up two of his newly divorced friends. (After his death, the pair bonded in their grief and eventually married.) Amid these original interviews and exhaustive archival research, Wappler weaves poignant vignettes of memoir in which she serves as an avatar to show how Perry shaped a generation’s views on masculinity, privilege and the ideal of “cool.” Timed to the fifth anniversary of Perry’s death, A Good Bad Boy is a profound and entertaining examination of what it means to be an artist and an adult.
