Book excerpt: "Heartbreak Hotel was the electrifying record that launched the career of the world's most popular entertainer, Elvis Presley, and helped establish rock 'n' roll as a genuine musical force. Recorded and released in January 1956 as the singer turned twenty-one and was breaking out of the claustrophobic country music scene, the song quickly became a worldwide hit and awakened an entire generation, launching the modern cultural era. For sixty years a legend flourished around Presley's hit record: the saga of how and why it was written became the most famous story-behind-the-song in music history. But the fabled scenario of an anonymous suicide victim and his enigmatic note -- "I walk a lonely street" -- posed more questions than it answered. Walk A Lonely Street is the book that solves the last great mystery of rock 'n' roll, and tells the full story of the man whose death inspired Elvis Presley's first hit record. It is a saga that spans over one hundred years and involves scores of singers and their songs, uncovering the truth, placing events in context and revealing the astonishing depth of Presley's artistic vision and achievements. There is a tale to be told." -- Back cover.

Download or read book Looking to Get Lost written by Peter Guralnick and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the bestselling author of Sam Phillips: The Man Who Invented Rock ‘n’ Roll and Last Train the Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley, this dazzling new book of profiles is a culmination of Peter Guralnick’s remarkable work, which from the start has encompassed the full sweep of blues, gospel, country, and rock 'n' roll. It covers old ground from new perspectives, offering deeply felt, masterful, and strikingly personal portraits of creative artists, both musicians and writers, at the height of their powers. “You put the book down feeling that its sweep is vast, that you have read of giants who walked among us,” rock critic Lester Bangs wrote of Guralnick’s earlier work in words that could just as easily be applied to this new one. And yet, for all of the encomiums that Guralnick’s books have earned for their remarkable insights and depth of feeling, Looking to Get Lost is his most personal book yet. For readers who have grown up on Guralnick’s unique vision of the vast sweep of the American musical landscape, who have imbibed his loving and lively portraits and biographies of such titanic figures as Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, and Sam Phillips, there are multiple surprises and delights here, carrying on and extending all the themes, fascinations, and passions of his groundbreaking earlier work.

Download or read book In a Lonely Street written by Frank Krutnik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-10-19 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking issue with many orthodox views of Film Noir, Frank Krutnik argues for a reorientation of this compulsively engaging area of Hollywood cultural production. Krutnik recasts the films within a generic framework and draws on recent historical and theoretical research to examine both the diversity of film noir and its significance within American popular culture of the 1940s. He considers classical Hollywood cinema, debates on genre, and the history of the emergence of character in film noir, focusing on the hard-boiled' crime fiction of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain as well as the popularisationof Freudian psychoanalysis; and the social and cultural upheavals of the 1940s. The core of this book however concerns the complex representationof masculinity in the noir tough' thriller, and where and how gender interlocks with questions of genre. Analysing in detail major thrillers like The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, Out of the Past and The Killers , alongside lesser known but nonetheless crucial films as Stranger on the Third Floor, Pitfall and Dead Reckoning Krutnik has produced a provocative and highly readable study of one of Hollywood most perennially fascinating groups of films.

Download or read book The Indian Wants the Bronx written by Israel Horovitz and published by Dramatists Play Service Inc. This book was released on 1968-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORY: An East Indian gets lost on his first day in New York as two teenage punks find him waiting at a lonely bus stop. He cannot understand English, and the boys have some fun with him-at least it starts out as fun. But little by little, as the minutes go by and the bus doesn't come, they get bored; then annoyed; then vicious. It is the very pointlessness of their brutality that makes the play-with its awful final image of the Indian jabbering into a dead phone-so disturbing. We are convinced that this is exactly what would happen at this particular bus stop on this particular night; we see, again, that violence in the big city is as much a child of ennui as of anger. And, as the nightmare spell of the play takes hold, and the boys torture their victim with increasing relish, we are brought to a shocking awareness of how thin the veneer of civilization can be-of how close beneath the surface of all men lurks the primitive impulse to hurt and humiliate those whose very helplessness and inability to communicate can only frustrate and enrage.

Download or read book Your Own Song To Sing written by Saverio and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AUTHOR UP CLOSE. I have been a contractor most of my adult life. This is actually a second career for me. Hopefully you have enjoyed many of my lyrics in this book. Some words I spelled wrong on purpose, I guess you know that by now. I did so the end of the word would have the effect I wanted; many lyricists do that. If by chance there are others, then shame on me and my spell check. Grammar never was my best subject. I’m married with six children and nine grandchildren. Working in any form has been my many hobbies. This is my first edition of Your Own Song to Sing. I will be doing additional editions, probably one a year for the next four or five years. Without writing any new material, I have enough to fill that many books, and yes, I’m still writing. Again I surely hope to see some of you that use my lyrics, if not on center stage when the awards come around. Meanwhile All Stay Well.—SAVERIO

Book excerpt: During an expedition in Antarctica geologist Ben Brooks discovers by sheer coincidence a very strange small object. It's harder than diamond, and since it's lighter than air it floats around his lab. When searching government support for further research on this bizarre object it is confiscated, and a number of events start to happen. A famous NASA scientist disappears (murdered?) and Brooks and his assistant Sally have to go undercover with the object, hunted by a secret organization under the command of a grim US Army general. Brooks and Sally flee, but will they succeed to escape arrest by the FBI, the CIA, the US Army, the US Navy and the US Air Force when all of these armed forces join hands in the manhunt? And why poses such a small harmless object such a threat to the national security of the USA? Why does the US government commit third degree murder, burglary and larceny to take it away from them?
