Book excerpt: Written for people who are just completely sick of themselves, An Off Day In My World’s Fair contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers one example of how to make nothing of themselves and being happy with the end results. A well-deserved getaway day. Willidau has taken leave of his senses to spend one day taking care of himself. Ken Willidau’s philosophy is that if you can’t get away from yourself take yourself away from you. Willidau treats himself fairly on his off day, amusing himself with all the things life has had to offer and throws it back at you. And you’ll be the one caught up in his escapism. Chapter exhibits make the day one to really remember and one to really forget. Among them, “Hall of Mirrors”, “The Food Building”, “A Rollercoaster Ride”, “The Freak Show”, “The Tunnel of Love” and “The Fireworks Extravaganza” make the day one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The day is spent with a host of jokes using wit, dark humour, bottom 10 lists, tongue-in-cheek, plays on words and double entendre humour. Spending your day with Ken will take your mind off you while he goes out of his. An Off Day In My World’s Fair is a perfect read for those times when you know what to do with yourself and you just don’t care too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1964-1965 New York World's Fair was the largest international exhibition ever built in the United States. More than one hundred fifty pavilions and exhibits spread over six hundred forty-six acres helped the fair live up to its reputation as "the Billion-Dollar Fair." With the cold war in full swing, the fair offered visitors a refreshingly positive view of the future, mirroring the official theme: Peace through Understanding. Guests could travel back in time through a display of full-sized dinosaurs, or look into a future where underwater hotels and flying cars were commonplace. They could enjoy Walt Disney's popular shows, or study actual spacecraft flown in orbit. More than fifty-one million guests visited the fair before it closed forever in 1965. The 1964-1965 New York World's Fair captures the history of this event through vintage photographs, published here for the first time.

Book excerpt: Written for people who have a song in their heart and a heart in their chest, Dancing to My Life's Soundtrack contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers one way to trip the light fantastic and keep time to it, too. Theme music for the ages. From conception to death and everything of any note in between. Willidau has risen above the scales of lounge lizard to compile the soundtrack of his life to put to music what mere words could never say. Ken Willidaus philosophy is that if you cant say whats in your heart and on your mind you should put it into the lyrics of songs that people will be repeating before long to make it look like they, too, are someone who is dancing along in life staying composed, themselves. Willidau orchestrates his story into a symphony of sound to set the mood for the moods that have rocked his world to his soul, in a compilation of a lifetime. And youll be toe-tapping along with it in no time caught up in it by the catchiness of it all. Chapters band together a life that strings along a musical story of high and lows of all the right and wrong notes. Among them, Future Boy, Mother, Isolation, Human Behaviour, Remember and Into the Light make for a festival of sound that is a once-in-a-lifetime performance. This record of life is tracked with a maestro of jokes using wit, dark humour, one-liner hit wonders, tongue-in-cheek, twisted logic and double entendre humour. Spending your day with Ken will put a song in your head that will drive you as crazy as the thoughts its replacing that are always there hitting all the sour notes just making you sound flat, yourself. Dancing To My Life's Soundtrack is a perfect read for those times when you want to make a concerted effort to play something different and not keep singing the same old song, yourself. And, a one and a two.

Book excerpt: Written for people who are trying to be what theyre wearing but dont have the same taste in clothes that other people would like, Clothes Really Do Make the Man contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers ways they can fashion their own lives into a stylish ensemble that will make them model citizens to everyone they want to meet or didnt want to, anyway. Willidau has patterned a writing style that sews together all the designs hes modeled for his life. Ken Willidaus philosophy is that looking it is as good as being it if people dont look past that to see the truth that lies within. Willidau fashions himself in a manner that will leave even the most formally dressed person as a casual giggling mess. And youll be put in stitches, too. Chapters attempt to design a whole person from the clothes he has chosen to show off as his interpretation of himself for others to determine what it is for them to be seeing. Among them, Mittens on Strings, Hand-Me-Down Jeans, Tie-Dyed T-shirt, Flood Pants, Balaclava and Thinking Cap are just part of the complete outfit that make the whole man. The walk down the runway is spent with a patchwork of jokes using wit, dark humour, jokes that will knock your socks off, tongue-in-cheek, jokes needling you gentle reader, plays on words and double entendre humour. Spending your day with Ken will make you look at yourself differently no matter what you think others are seeing for themselves. Clothes Really Do Make the Man provides the perfect cover for those days you want to look like someone who, obviously, reads books and not whatever that is youre wrapped up in now that youve made yourself a slave to fashion to just be read like that yourself. Lets wear a book out.

Willidau tries to help himself by helping others since theyve only really been the problem for him and hes hoping that what goes around comes around in full. Ken Willidaus philosophy is that if he can help one person, he knows hes probably solved one of his own problems, too. So its double self-help. How much more do you losers need before its just embarassing to everyone. Everyone. And, if you can be helped the odds are in his favour he will be, too. Chapters try to save the reader from themselves for the time it takes to read them, anyway. Among them the realization and acceptance that, Life is Taking You on a Trip to Nowhere, Vanity, Thy Name is I, In a Nutshell, Youre Nuts, Youre Only Human, Youre Being Stupid to Think Youre Not and Grinning and Bearing It make the day one thats not as hopeless when it is over than when it began. The time is spent with a healthy helping of jokes using wit, dark humour, tongue-in-cheek, shots at you gentle reader, plays on words and double entendre humour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for people who are in a race against time to waste as much of it in their lives, as possible, before time wastes them, Wasting Time As Time Wastes Me contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers one more way to waste even more time, to show time that you are not going to stand for it, wasting you, while you can sit around reading a book wasting it. A stand-off for all times from birth to death. Willidau has reached back into the waste bins of history to find anything that was a worthy competitor of time that he wasted away for himself. Ken Willidaus philosophy is that if it was a waste of living life once, it cant do any harm wasting any more of it reading this book, to make it look like you did it with purpose and vision. Willidau wastes more of his time writing about the complete waste it was and isnt blaming fate, now, and instead is taking responsibility for his own inactions. Chapters pick through the wasteland looking for anything that made them worth documenting, in the first place, and seeing if theres nothing that could be built on, now, as a strategy against time. Among them, Time of Discovery, Family Time, TV Time, Past Primetime, and Times Up make the timeframe one of those never-in-a-lifetime experiences. The time is wasted with hollow words and a pointless heap of jokes using wit, dark humour, wasted comedic pauses, plays on words, hands-in-pockets humour, and double entendre humour. Wasting your time with Ken will have you sitting around wondering where all your time went as you spend it wasting more of your life on someone elses idea of it, for himself. Wasting Time As Time Wastes Me is a perfect read for those times you have it to waste, and you might as well waste it on someone elses waste of it than think about ways of wasting yourself. Times already got its sights on you and theres nothing you can do about it, so you might as well just get used to it, one way or the other. Lets get wasted.

Book excerpt: Motivated by potentially turning Flushing Meadows, literally a land of refuse, into his greatest public park, Robert Moses—New York's "Master Builder"—brought the World's Fair to the Big Apple for 1964 and '65. Though considered a financial failure, the 1964-65 World' s Fair was a Sixties flashpoint in areas from politics to pop culture, technology to urban planning, and civil rights to violent crime. In an epic narrative, the New York Times bestseller Tomorrow-Land shows the astonishing pivots taken by New York City, America, and the world during the Fair. It fetched Disney's empire from California and Michelangelo's La Pieta from Europe; and displayed flickers of innovation from Ford, GM, and NASA—from undersea and outerspace colonies to personal computers. It housed the controversial work of Warhol (until Governor Rockefeller had it removed); and lured Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. Meanwhile, the Fair—and its house band, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians—sat in the musical shadows of the Beatles and Bob Dylan, who changed rock-and-roll right there in Queens. And as Southern civil rights efforts turned deadly, and violent protests also occurred in and around the Fair, Harlem-based Malcolm X predicted a frightening future of inner-city racial conflict. World's Fairs have always been collisions of eras, cultures, nations, technologies, ideas, and art. But the trippy, turbulent, Technicolor, Disney, corporate, and often misguided 1964-65 Fair was truly exceptional.

Book excerpt: Written for people who have nothing better to do with their time, I Am My Own Hobby offers readers one example on how to turn their own thoughts to hobbies. Ken Willidau has taken his take on a host of interests, neuroses and time-wasters to organize his thoughts into becoming his own hobby. Ken Willidau's philosophy is that if you're going to be obsessed with anything you may as well by self-obsessed. It's too easy. Everything you need is within your reach if not your grasp. Your brain's your own scrapbook. Get off the glue. That's where the fun begins. Willidau explores his world using humour to think himself though all the times. Through 2,500 one-liners classified thoughts on Greed, Travel, Food, Neighbourliness, Sex, Socializing and half a chapter on Laziness are presented in word form. Interests are explored using wit, truisms, just plain wrongisms, ridicule, play-on-words and double-entendre humour. In fact, there are so many double-entendres in this book you should actually, by rights, be charged with stealing the book if you buy it. Do you even have the nerve? Come explore Ken Willidau's hobby. Ken Willidau's interests. It's a weird hobby but just be thankful after reading his thoughts that he has absolutely no interest in reading yours, at all. I Am My Own Hobby is a perfect read for those times you don't know what to do with yourself.

Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Award • “Marvelous . . . You get lost in World’s Fair as if it were an exotic adventure. You devour it with the avidity usually provoked by a suspense thriller.”—The New York Times Hailed by critics from coast to coast and by readers of all ages, this resonant novel is one of E.L. Doctorow’s greatest works of fiction. It is 1939, and even as the rumbles of progress are being felt worldwide, New York City clings to remnants of the past, with horse-drawn wagons, street peddlers, and hurdy-gurdy men still toiling in its streets. For nine-year-old Edgar Altschuler, life is stoopball and radio serials, idolizing Joe DiMaggio, and enduring the conflicts between his realist mother and his dreamer of a father. The forthcoming Word’s Fair beckons, an amazing vision of American automation, inventiveness, and prosperity—and Edgar Altschuler responds. A marvelous work from a master storyteller, World’s Fair is a book about a boy who must surrender his innocence to come of age, and a generation that must survive great hardship to reach its future. Praise for World’s Fair “Something close to magic.”—Los Angeles Times “World’s Fair is better than a time capsule; it’s an actual slice of a long-ago world, and we emerge from it as dazed as those visitors standing on the corner of the future.”—Anne Tyler “Doctorow has managed to regain the awed perspective of a child in this novel of rare warmth and intimacy. . . . Stony indeed in the heart that cannot be moved by this book.”—People “Fascinating . . . exquisitely rendered details of a lost way of life.”—Newsweek “Wonderful reading.”—USA Today

Book excerpt: Having grandchildren late in life means that they will never really get to know you. This was the case for me and for my children. I never knew my grandparents as they lived and died in Ireland before I had a chance to go there. I might have gone over in 1950 and seen my maternal grandfather Patrick Quinn. He was the only grandparent living when it was possible, after the war, to visit Ireland. Regretfully, I didnt go when I had the chance, and he died in 1951.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for people who arent laughing at the joke their own life has become, Making a Joke Out of Ones Life contains over 2,500 jokes and one-liners that lets readers laugh at someone elses for a change. Ken Willidaus unique brand of humour addresses all aspects of life - from birth to death and everything in between. Willidau employs a variety of humorous devices to convey his message. Mostly drugs, alcohol and his brain. Ken Willidaus philosophy is that if youre going to make a joke out of your life you might as well make it one everyone can get a good laugh out of, too. The myriad of one-liners includes dark humour, tongue-in-cheek, a few jokes going around town about you, jest, self-defecating humour, plays on words and more. Book sections revolve around themes such as school, religion, sporting, sex, depression and aging. The chapters chart a route through life that make for interesting reading from innocent beginnings to the bitter end and Willidau hopes youll be just killing yourself laughing by the end of it all, too. Throughout the course of the book, Here Goes Nothing The First Weak, The Deformative Years, Friends and Enemas, Sporting A Black Eye, Proxy Morons and Th-Th-Th-Thats All Fooks are just a few of the given takes on the stages of life youll encounter. Looking at life through Ken Willidaus eyes will give you more appreciation for your own life or, at the very least, give you a reason to laugh through some it, if not exactly at it, right now. Making a Joke Out of Ones Life is a perfect read for one of those dismal days when that lonely bottle of wine just isnt enough and adding some cheese would, at least, make it look like youre a happy party of one, anyway, and not just your own funeral party waiting to happen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966, journalist Charles Suhor wrote that New Orleans jazz was "ready for its new Golden Age." Thomas W. Jacobsen's The New Orleans Jazz Scene, 1970-2000 chronicles the resurgence of jazz music in the Crescent City in the years following Suhor's prophetic claim. Jacobsen, a New Orleans resident and longtime jazz aficionado, offers a wide-ranging history of the New Orleans jazz renaissance in the last three decades of the twentieth century, weaving local musical developments into the larger context of the national jazz scene. Jacobsen vividly evokes the changing face of the New Orleans jazz world at the close of the twentieth century. Drawing from an array of personal experiences and his own exhaustive research, he discusses leading musicians and bands, both traditionalists and modernists, as well as major performance venues and festivals. The city's musical infrastructure does not go overlooked, as Jacobsen delves into New Orleans's music business, its jazz media, and the evolution of jazz edu-cation at public schools and universities. With a trove of more than seventy photographs of key players and performances, The New Orleans Jazz Scene, 1970-2000 offers a vibrant and fascinating portrait of the musical genre that defines New Orleans.
