Rock on Film
For rock music and film buffs alike, this is the ultimate guide exploring the electrifying, entertaining, and often daring marriage of rock & roll and cinema. When the use of Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock” turned 1955’s Blackboard Jungle into a teen sensation and a box-office smash, it proved the opening shot in a cinematic and cultural revolution. Starting with Elvis Presley and the teensploitation films of the ’50s and ’60s, in Rock on Film award-winning author and former Rolling Stone editor Fred Goodman takes readers on a wide-ranging journey through film and pop history. Along the way, he measures the transformative impact of the mid-’60s landmarks A Hard Day’s Nig...
Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group
"Proscriptive how-to advice ranges over a wide number of subjects (e.g., sex, band photos, etc.) and can be seen both as skewering the cultural idolatry associated with rock and as genuine counsel. Verdict: Svenonius's sociopolitical analysis of rock and roll is intellectually interesting, as when he posits that the genre was 'brought about by the industrial revolution, the harnessing of electricity, and the miscegenation of various poor, exploited, and indentured cultures in the USA.'" --Library Journal "So much of the allure here is in watching Svenonius skirt absurdity.

A New Day Yesterday
An entertaining, definitive and in-depth study of prog rock, with a new cover and a foreword by Steve Hackett (Genesis). Progressive rock, a genre formed out of a creative surge in the late Sixties and throughout the Seventies. Made by young musicians for a young audience, prog music looked towards new horizons by synthesising rock, jazz, folk, classical and other styles. While prog has always divided critical opinion, in its heyday it had a large and devoted fanbase, and the era's biggest acts from Pink Floyd to Genesis went on to enjoy long-lasting international and commercial success. Although the scene fragmented in the late Seventies, new generations of young listeners continue to disco...
Second Chances
This science fiction novel is based on the Einstein-Rosen theory of wormholes. It is a nostalgic journey of five friends and former high school basketball players at Lakeview High School in 1959, which became defunct in 1983. Now seventeen again, they have the obsession of winning the state basketball championship and have planned an amazing strategy (given their lifetime experiences) to accomplish just that. One twist is that they recruit a seven-foot-one-inch Watusi exchange student and former players who were living there in 1959 to fill their roster. There is drama, adventure, excitement, humor, anticipation, and misdirection along the way. What man or woman would not like to relive his or her high school years?

He advocates an overlapp...
