Download or read book Garth Brooks in The Life of Chris Gaines written by Stephen Deusner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garth Brooks was the best-selling country artist of the 1990s. Actually, he was the best-selling artist of the '90s period. So why did he close out that triumphant decade by transforming into a fictional rocker named Chris Gaines? He devised an outrageous backstory for the character-complete with sex addiction, facial reconstructive surgery, wildfires, and chainsaws-and even recorded a “pre-soundtrack” to a forthcoming film about Gaines. But Garth Brooks... In the Life of Chris Gaines, which doubled as a retrospective of his alter ego's long career, was branded a fiasco before it even hit stores. It sold poorly, the film was shelved, and Garth announced his retirement the next year. Chris Gaines disappeared forever. Or did he? Out of print since its release and absent on streaming services, the album has somehow grown from a career-derailing flop into a cult obsession. Only one world-renowned critic is brave enough to tell the full story of Chris Gaines. It's a sordid, puzzling tale of intrigue and conspiracy that poses chilling questions: Which one of them is real? Chris or Garth? Why did one of them title an album Fornucopia? And just who does this Stephen Deusner guy think he is? Well...
Download or read book I Never Met a Story I Didn t Like written by Todd Snider and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, Todd Snider has been one of the most beloved country-folk singers in the United States, compared to Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, John Prine, and dozens of others. He's become not only a new-century Dylan but a modern-day Will Rogers, an everyman whose intelligence, self-deprecation, experience, and sense of humor make him a uniquely American character. In live performance, Snider's monologues are cheered as much as his songs. But never before has he told the whole story. Running the gamut from personal memoir to shaggy-dog comedy to rueful memories of his troubles and triumphs with drugs and alcohol to sharp-eyed observations from years on the road, I Never Met a Story I Didn't Like is for fans of Snider's music, but also for fans of America itself: the broad, wild country that has produced figures of folk wisdom like Will Rogers, Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Tonya Harding, Garrison Keillor, and more. There are storytellers and there are performers and there are stand-up comedians. And then there's Todd Snider, who is all three in one, and something else entirely.

Download or read book Live from Aggieland written by Rob Clark and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believe it or not, Aggieland has witnessed a parade of musical icons over the years, each with an intriguing story attached. Picture a young Elvis Presley entertaining the Corps of Cadets at G. Rollie White Coliseum. Flash forward to the “Committee for Johnny Cash,” originated by students after the country singer’s post-Bonfire concert was canceled by the A&M administration amid controversy; despite official disapproval, the students brought him to perform off-campus. Revisit the sunbaked Texas World Speedway in the summer of 1974 and Willie Nelson’s rowdy Fourth of July Picnic, complete with sex, drugs, and a grassfire that torched the car of a young Robert Earl Keen (who would later strike up a long-lasting friendship with fellow A&M student Lyle Lovett). Rewind to Garth Brooks landing at A&M to end an enormous 1998 world tour with three sold-out shows in the newly completed Reed Arena. And many other musical legends have produced memorable moments in the area, including Nat King Cole, R.E.M., and the Ramones. Live from Aggieland explores these stories, including photography and first-hand accounts of the shows and events. The book demonstrates how popular music has enhanced the cultural perspective of Bryan–College Station and has provided students, graduates, and residents with lasting musical memories.
