Download or read book Storm Sky Blues written by Parker Avrile and published by Paris April Press. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he can't keep pretending... Gray's social-climbing parents have a plan for their son. The same plan that worked perfectly well for his father before him. Law school, socialite wife, millions of dollars in the bank. It's all planned out for the next thirty years. The plan doesn't allow for art school. Much less kissing boys. This shorter 30,000-word novel is a "sweet" gay coming-of-age story featuring a character in his mid-teens. There is some rough language, but there is no "steam." Like many young adult novels featuring a teen hero, the ending is open-ended because life is open-ended at that age. Gray and Sparky will meet again in college. You can read their college gay romance in the full-length 80,000-word novel, Kickoff Blues. You may consider this book a prequel to Kickoff Blues, but it doesn't matter which one you read first. Also, Kickoff Blues is Book #3 in the Last Chances Academy series, but you can read it first if you want to since Books 1 & 2 follow a different romance.

Download or read book Mo Meta Blues written by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You have to bear in mind that [Questlove] is one of the smartest motherf*****s on the planet. His musical knowledge, for all practical purposes, is limitless." --Robert Christgau A punch-drunk memoir in which Everyone's Favorite Questlove tells his own story while tackling some of the lates, the greats, the fakes, the philosophers, the heavyweights, and the true originals of the music world. He digs deep into the album cuts of his life and unearths some pivotal moments in black art, hip hop, and pop culture. Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson is many things: virtuoso drummer, producer, arranger, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon bandleader, DJ, composer, and tireless Tweeter. He is one of our most ubiquitous cultural tastemakers, and in this, his first book, he reveals his own formative experiences--from growing up in 1970s West Philly as the son of a 1950s doo-wop singer, to finding his own way through the music world and ultimately co-founding and rising up with the Roots, a.k.a., the last hip hop band on Earth. Mo' Meta Blues also has some (many) random (or not) musings about the state of hip hop, the state of music criticism, the state of statements, as well as a plethora of run-ins with celebrities, idols, and fellow artists, from Stevie Wonder to KISS to D'Angelo to Jay-Z to Dave Chappelle to...you ever seen Prince roller-skate?!? But Mo' Meta Blues isn't just a memoir. It's a dialogue about the nature of memory and the idea of a post-modern black man saddled with some post-modern blues. It's a book that questions what a book like Mo' Meta Bluesreally is. It's the side wind of a one-of-a-kind mind. It's a rare gift that gives as well as takes. It's a record that keeps going around and around.
