Blueprints of Sir Michael
London, England, welcomes a thirteen-Grammy winner and the "King of Pop." Michael Joseph Jackson chooses the 02 Arena for fifty performances in July 2009, with ticket sales reaching 1.5 million dollars within a few weeks. Worldwide fans are waiting to get a glimpse of this talented and sometimes controversial singer, dancer, producer, and actor. Jackson, often called the most powerful performer in the universe, secures music brilliance through the sales of 104 million copies of Thriller. How did he create a style allowing the world to see him, thus generating over a billion dollars for the recording industry? He is shy, but can be demanding at times. He is accepting and warm. He is candid in interviews, perhaps too frank. He believes in sharing, yet relationships have been a challenge for him. The question remains: who is this native of Gary, Indiana-this African American male, rich with talents? J. Moffett Walker believes you and others want to know about Michael the individual and how he moonwalked all the way to the top. Blueprints of Sir Michael, a resourceful yet creative book, provides new information about this world superstar.

The Distant Voices
The resonating metallic tone of the voice is a constant nuisance to Michael Tyler. As a boy, every time he hears it, he lashes out violently. By the age of ten, he's taking regular doses of medication, and it isn't long before he's institutionalized. But now, he's all grown up, out on his own and the phantom voice has returned. This time, it won't go away. It tells Michael it's an alien entity that is able to communicate with him through a portal in his own mind. Not everyone has these portals; he's one of a select few. Michael is happy for the first time in a long while, knowing that perhaps he isn't crazy after all. And with the help of the voice, he develops psychic abilities and uses them to win back control of a private trust that gains him access to a fortune. But now, the voice wants Michael to begin communicating with others who have portals as well. By linking with them, he can share his psychic abilities and they all can become powerful. Join Michael on a fantastic journey filled with adventure, unanswered questions and false appearances in The Distant Voices.
Television Drama
First published in 1990. This book is the first specifically about television drama from within a cultural studies perspective and as such examines the active agency of both viewers and media practitioners. The author examines dominant and counter-myths as they circulate in popular culture, discussing soap opera, science fiction, sitcom, cop series and 'authored' drama among its examples. It works within an ethnographic framework, he looks in detail at both the production and reception of TV drama. The overall aim of the book is to examine television representation as part of an historically positioned and differentiated social formation in which knowledgeable actors work in every institutional arena (whether media industry, academia or domestic household) to make their meanings.

EXCERPT: ""Hello."" [WAIT FOR ANSWER] ""Hello."" [PAUSE] I can wait here all day until you say ... ""Hello!"" [LAUGHTER] Raise your hand if you've ever heard Michael Gossett begin a concert or a speech or any kind of public speaking, with that little schtick? [PAUSE] For once, I'm not sorry. That was how I began the Eulogy for my beloved brother Michael Leon Gossett, for the audience seated at Christian Life Assembly church in Langley, British Columbia, Canada; on Thursday, August 15, 2019 - ten days after Michael suddenly experienced ""the happiest day of a Christian's Life"" (as our father always told us) by means of a unexpected massive heart attack at his home.
Spy
Smart. Funny. Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.
