Book excerpt: “A darkly suspenseful dive into friendship, fame, murder, and the thrilling power of rock music. I couldn’t put it down.” —Meg Gardiner, New York Times–bestselling author of the UNSUB series Gal, a talented musician, has returned to Boston to play a memorial for her late friend. But when she sees a particular face in the crowd, she freezes on stage. The next day, she learns that the man she saw has been beaten to death behind the venue—and her friend’s widower, Walter, is being charged in connection with his murder. When Walter refuses to defend himself, Gal wonders if he is guilty, and as memories of the past begin to flood back, she starts her own investigation. To uncover the truth, she must re-examine her own life, her perception of the past, and an industry with a dark underbelly. But what she discovers may prove hard to swallow . . . “In electric prose, Simon conjures the rock-and-roll world, its drink, drugs, and band-dynamics, and the twin seductresses of excess and success, as she makes a penetrating portrait of friendship.” —The Boston Globe “Lyrical, layered, and full of surprises. . . . A raw and emotional thriller with a heartbeat, about lost dreams and missing friends, regrets and buried memories, the final note reminding us that it’s never too late to start again.” —Lisa Unger, New York Times-bestselling author of Last Girl Ghosted and Confessions on the 7:45 “[This] devastatingly powerful mystery hits you like a punch in the heart.” —Caroline Leavitt, New York Times–bestselling author of Days of Wonder and Pictures of You “Compulsively readable. . . . Part murder mystery and part wistful history of a one-time rock star and her deeply buried secrets.” —Dave Zeltserman, Shamus Award–winning author of Small Crimes

Book Synopsis Rock and Roll Fantasy? by : Ronnie Phillips,
Download or read book Rock and Roll Fantasy? written by Ronnie Phillips, and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are in an era where developments in both technology and musical style have coalesced to produce the greatest period of change in the music industry since the invention of recorded sound. Globalization, the Internet, and digital technology are now opening up possibilities for more artists to be innovative and financially successful. But new music requires new ways of doing business. For more artists to be better off requires new business models to replace those that dominated the 20th century. Integrating insights from economics, management, and intellectual property law, the author explores the dynamics of entrepreneurship and innovation in the music industry, and offers such provocative assessments as these: · The Beatles might never have broken up if they had the kind of two-tier contracts – as band members and as solo artists – that are common in the music industry today. · Buddy Holly would likely have avoided his tragic death in a plane crash at age 22 if his 1959 tour had been sponsored by a company like Coca Cola because today’s corporatized tours are vastly better financed and organized than the haphazard efforts of the 1950s. · The economic value of albums by the likes of Elvis and Michael Jackson has risen significantly since their deaths – the ironic byproduct of the way their behavior tarnished their own brands while they were alive. · Diana Ross might never have quit The Supremes if she had known that one-third of the artists in the 1960s who quit the group had charting careers of only one year. · Thomas Edison’s invention of the phonograph led to the modern record industry, but he is really the godfather of computer programs like Garageband which have created home recording studios. The collapse of the Soviet Union threatened the sound of rock and roll but an American entrepreneur saved the day.

Download or read book Dear Mr. Fantasy written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author was a college student in California during the '60s, heyday of psychedelia, then moved on to Swinging London and photographed such supergroups as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Who. His sensitive memoir of those years evokes vividlythe essence of a generation that "welcomed Mr. Fantasy into our lives with a sense of joy and celebration.'' Although Russell acknowledges that many people were burned out by the '60s (indeed, he knew some of the famous casualties), he nevertheless believes that the personal and social changes spawned by that turbulent decade were necessary. ``In retrospect, people often seem embarrassed by that time,'' he writes. "But, really, so much was accomplished.'' Russell tells many entertaining stories about working with the artistocracy of rock; his anecdotes unite with more than 300 of his splendid photographs to create a detailed history of an extraordinary period in popular musicand to pay eloquent tribute to "the spirit that moved us all.''

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you like your business... ...to burst into public awareness like Lady Gaga? ...to have the long-lived success of Mick Jagger? ...to demonstrate the creativity of The Beatles? We don't normally think of the music business as a source of entrepreneurial insight, but we should. The best bands have longevity, a depth of customer loyalty, and a level of profitability that puts most businesses to shame. And what they know—about marketing, partnerships, the power of bartering, and overcoming obstacles—isn't taught in any business school. David Fishof has lived at the center of the music business for more than 25 years. From his early successes in reuniting The Monkees and convincing Ringo Starr to launch his All Starr tour, to his current megasuccess as founder and CEO of Rock ‘n' Roll Fantasy Camp™, Fishof has learned from the leading minds in the music business—and has applied this learning in one entrepreneurial venture after another. Filled with insights from Fishof's amazing exploits in the music industry and seasoned with business tips from music legends, Rock Your Business provides important and original business insights from an unlikely source—the world of rock and roll.

Book Synopsis Will I Live Tomorrow? by : Sonia Nassery Cole
Download or read book Will I Live Tomorrow? written by Sonia Nassery Cole and published by BenBella Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sonia Nassery Cole set out to film The Black Tulip in her homeland of Afghanistan, she knew the odds were against her; she was told time and time again that filming inside a war zone would be impossible. What she didn't anticipate was how intent the Taliban and its sympathizers were on halting the film's production—the crew encountered extortion, government corruption, kidnapping attempts, and death threats, even with around-the-clock security. Her cinematographer fled after two days, and many others followed. After 9/11, Cole wrote The Black Tulip, based on a true story of a real Afghan family. The plot was simple: After 2001, when the Taliban was routed, an Afghan family opened The Poet's Corner—a restaurant with an open microphone for all to read poetry, perform music, and tell their stories. But the Taliban didn't approve, and the family's new-found hope proved fleeting as it struggled to maintain the restaurant and its vibrant way of life. Selected as Afghanistan's official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2010 Academy Awards, The Black Tulip is a modern portrait of Afghanistan that captures the plight and resilience of its people. Without financial support from a studio or anyone else, Cole self-financed the film by mortgaging her home and selling her belongings. Then, with everything on the line, she left for Kabul to make the impossible possible and set out to gather the right people who would risk their lives and willingly be part of the production. In Will I Live Tomorrow?, Cole gives an intimate look into what went on behind the scenes of making a controversial film in the heart of a war-ravaged country—the looming terror the Taliban creates among Afghans everywhere and the challenges and fear the cast and crew faced every day. Will I Live Tomorrow? is a memoir about one woman's struggle to make a difference in a violent world.
