Scenes from Tanglewood
Tanglewood, of course, is the summer music festival that the Boston Symphony Orchestra has presented annually in western Massachusetts since 1938. More than a concert series, it also encompasses the Tanglewood Music Center, an educational wing whose students, many now of international stature, have been trained by those who already have attained that rank. Pincus--the region's music critic--is generally objective enough in his documentation of political and other nonmusical factors. More importantly, he considers musical matters in a most knowing manner, turning vignettes of personalities, performances, and repertoire into an important history. The value of his work is intensified by the insight offered in individual portraits, making it most interesting reading for even the casual music lover.
Long Ago and Far Away: James Taylor - His Life and Music
From The Beatles' patronage of his 1968 debut album to his Grammy awards for Hourglass, James Taylor has remained a universally acclaimed songwriter of effortless eloquence and power. In this major biography, the late Timothy White explores the myths and reality behind the personal journey of legendary singer. White examines the roots of Taylor's anguish, and his recurring problems with heroin and alcohol. There is an epic family history, an exploration of the stories behind Fire And Rain, and a frank account of the artist's time spent at Apple Records and Warner Brothers. With contributions from Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Sting, the Taylor family and many other key figures, this edition is destined to become the definitive biography of the troubled hero. There is also an epilogue concerning the memorial concerts arranged by Taylor for the late author White, as well as an extensive discography and bibliography.
Hippies
An insightful introduction to hippie culture and how its revolutionary principles in the 1960s helped shape modern culture. This title explores how hippies, and 1960s counterculture in general, developed and influenced popular culture in America. Covering the years between 1961 and 1972, this is the first volume focused exclusively on the emergence, growth, and lasting legacy of hippie culture, on everything from clothing, hair styles, and music to attitudes toward sex and drugs, and anti-war, anti-establishment activism. Hippies includes a chronology, topical chapters on hippie culture, biographies, primary documents, and a glossary. Coverage ranges from an examination of hippie involvement in drug use, politics, sexual behavior, and music, and a contemporary perspective on lasting impact of hippies on modern American life. Readers will encounter famous icons of the era, from Abbie Hoffman to Timothy Leary, while getting a real sense of what life inside the hippie counterculture was like.
