Strangest angels play electric guitars… Set against the backdrop of the rough, seedy Hollywood club scene, four musicians struggle in a million to one shot bid for success in the music world. But, when guitarist Francis McCombe falls in love with Spriglet, a strange girl who doesn’t speak, their world will never be the same. Taking their name from the haunting lead singer, Spriglet, the band, creates a stir, fueled as much by their offstage antics as their growing reputation as a musical force. Spriglet will lead them on a surreal, bittersweet trip from the dives of Hollywood to the heights of superstardom. Although written with a firsthand insight into the music industry, that world is merely the setting for this warm, sweet, tender, funny love story that is weird, wonderful, and full of the real…steeped in fantasy and rooted in truth. Much more than only rock and roll, this is a story of love, faith, and friendship, an enchanting journey filled with an eccentric cast of characters and told with humor and grit. “…a great authentic-without-trying feel to it…I totally got sucked in by the characters and the dialogue…drama, sex, comedy, drugs, suspense, and tragedy” Kim Richey, Grammy-nominated, Lost Highway Records artist “…a poignant look at music and other matters of the heart…heartfelt and clever…engaging and amusing” Tyler Pittman, Columbia Records “…comes alive through references to past and present popular music…a fun and informative read…magical” Sandra Faucett, ROCKRGRL magazine

"I was smitten, bitten by a love bug or something I didn't even care that I'd just been hit. I was in deep smit." Laura Crapper, a seventeen-year-old combat-boot-wearing poet with spiked red hair, renames herself Sister Slam and hits the road with her best friend, Twig. On the way into the slam poetry world of New York City, they hit a pig, get pulled over by the cops, fight with a poetry contest's judge, lose the contest, get into two more fender benders, fight with each other, and finally land on the front page of a newspaper in New York City for their amazing impromptu performance at the famous Tavern on the Green. The girls and their fresh style of poetry take the city by storm, but when Laura's father back in Pennsylvannia has a heart attack she must face her fears about home and the still-raw loss of her mother. An inspiring romp of a coming-of-age story, written entirely in Laura's in-your-face slam poetry style, that proves you don't have to give up your home in order to live your dream.

By the longtime editor-in-chief of Guitar World and a veteran rock journalist, an unprecedented history of the electric guitar, its explosive impact on music and culture, and the people who brought it to life. Spanning a century and encompassing some of guitar's greatest builders and players, from Les Paul to Keith Richards to Eddie Van Halen, Brad Tolinski and Alan di Perna bring the evolution of the guitar to roaring life. This is a story of inventors and iconoclasts, of scam artists, prodigies and mythologizers, as varied and original as the music they spawned. Play It Loud uses twelve landmark instruments, each of them a milestone in the progress of the electric guitar, to illustrate the chaos, conflict and passion it has inspired. It introduces Leo Fender, a man who couldn't play a note, but whose innovation helped transform the classical guitar into the explosive sound machine it is today. Some of the most significant social movements of the 20th century are indebted to the guitar: it was an essential part of Beatlemania and Woodstock; a mirror to the rise of the teenager as a social force; a linchpin of the punk movement's sound and ethos. And today the guitar has come full circle, with contemporary titans such as Jack White of The White Stripes and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys bringing some of those earliest electric guitar forms back to the limelight. For generations, the electric guitar has been an international symbol of freedom, danger and hedonism. Play It Loud is the story of how a band of innovators transformed a simple notion into a singular cultural force.

The complete history of one of the most long-lived and legendary bands in rock history, written by its official historian and publicist—a must-have chronicle for all Dead Heads, and for students of rock and the 1960s’ counterculture. From 1965 to 1995, the Grateful Dead flourished as one of the most beloved, unusual, and accomplished musical entities to ever grace American culture. The creative synchronicity among Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, and Ron “Pigpen” McKernan exploded out of the artistic ferment of the early sixties’ roots and folk scene, providing the soundtrack for the Dionysian revels of the counterculture. To those in the know, the Dead was an ongoing tour de force: a band whose constant commitment to exploring new realms lay at the center of a thirty-year journey through an ever-shifting array of musical, cultural, and mental landscapes. Dennis McNally, the band’s historian and publicist for more than twenty years, takes readers back through the Dead’s history in A Long Strange Trip. In a kaleidoscopic narrative, McNally not only chronicles their experiences in a fascinatingly detailed fashion, but veers off into side trips on the band’s intricate stage setup, the magic of the Grateful Dead concert experience, or metaphysical musings excerpted from a conversation among band members. He brings to vivid life the Dead’s early days in late-sixties San Francisco—an era of astounding creativity and change that reverberates to this day. Here we see the group at its most raw and powerful, playing as the house band at Ken Kesey’s acid tests, mingling with such legendary psychonauts as Neal Cassady and Owsley “Bear” Stanley, and performing the alchemical experiments, both live and in the studio, that produced some of their most searing and evocative music. But McNally carries the Dead’s saga through the seventies and into the more recent years of constant touring and incessant musical exploration, which have cemented a unique bond between performers and audience, and created the business enterprise that is much more a family than a corporation. Written with the same zeal and spirit that the Grateful Dead brought to its music for more than thirty years, the book takes readers on a personal tour through the band’s inner circle, highlighting its frenetic and very human faces. A Long Strange Trip is not only a wide-ranging cultural history, it is a definitive musical biography.

Wayne is kidnapped by the gang that can almost shoot straight. It was planned to be an easy in and out. It wasnt. Three teams are on tap for saving him: the police, with the FBI in charge; Johns security people, who dont trust the lead FBI guy; and Johns friend from the mafia in Las Vegas. Its a race to see who gets there first. Then backstabbing by network suits causes the cancellation of a top-rated series (New Orleans Blues), and a failing designer clothing line is saved at the last minute by an X-rated fashion show in Frankfort. John gets his MD and interns at County General. Johns company-owned mine in Africa is nationalized. A team is sent to blow up the mine. In retaliation, the president sends a hit man after John at the hospital. John tells Ira Corn to finish it. Ira contacts the Chameleon for the hit. John delays marriage to Gloria by joining the army for his residency. Sure enough, hes challenged again. But hes lined up a smart army lawyer to take care of it. Against the strong advice of family and his personal security, he volunteers as an army surgeon for the war in El Salvador. Hes in a MASH unit, starts a new band, has an active love life with the nurses, and slowly comes apart emotionally from treating maimed and dying young soldiers. He goes out on a routine scouting patrol that is virtually wiped out and returns to the jungle to save a team member being tortured by the enemy. Hes well trained for combat even though the army doesnt know it. John returns to the States, recuperates from the bullet wound, and plays for one year in professional football for the Raiders. Then he retires. So he thinks.
