Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdote Lives of Wits and Humourists, Vol. 1 IF you love your readers, and wish to be read, get aneo dotes, is the sagacious advice to authors, in a contemporary critical journal and a kindred sense of the interest as well as the value of this species of reading has encouraged the production of the present volumes. Their immediate object is to collect and arrange, in the most entertaining as well as serviceable form, the salient points in the Lives of some of the leading Wits and Humorists who had adorned our literature. The advantages of such a plan have been thus enforced by one of the greatest masters, in saying that, Abstracts, abridgments, summaries, have the same use with burn ing-glasses, - to collect the diffused rays of wit and learning in authors, and make them point with warmth and quickness upon the reader's imagination? The economy of the plan need not he insisted upon; if we are to trust the adage - that the wit of one is the wisdom of many.

Download or read book Rebels Wit Attitude written by Iain Ellis and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock music has been the principal outlet of youth rebellion for more than half a century, and though rock rebels have been idolized and profiled extensively, their humor has not been at the center of attention. In Rebels Wit Attitude, music writer Iain Ellis throws a spotlight on the history of humor in rock music, and its use as a weapon of anti-establishment rebellion. The performers who are the subjects of Ellis’ study are not merely musicians or comedians—they are artists whose works exude defiance and resistance. Discussing the work of iconic figures as diverse as Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, the Beastie Boys, and Madonna, Ellis reveals how issues of politics, ethics, race, and gender, among others, have energized their expressions of rock (and) humor. Rebels Wit Attitude is an entertaining look at some of the greatest rebels in American rock culture and a fascinating history of humor and dissent.

Life is full of care, toil, and trouble, and the weary toiler's body and brain soon become exhausted under the strain: What better antidote for the ills of life than the: participa tion in a merry laugh, or in the enjoyment which comes from the reading of the humorous stories of the fun-makers. Laughter acts like a tonic upon the system, sets the blood in active circulation, and makes the gloomy heart forget its troubles for the time. It is a foe to gossip and envy, and a guardian of good. Fun is the sunshine of the home and the social circle and with out it, life becomes dull and insipid. The happy, smiling face, what a pleasant picture it is, especially if it reflects the image of the soul within.
