Book excerpt: When Abel learns that his favorite uncle has died, he and his cousin, Ken, plan to meet at a convenience store the next morning to travel the five hundred and fifty miles to the funeral together. But just as Abel realizes Ken is a no show, a stranger opens his car door and plants himself in the passenger seat. It seems that fate has dropped Mike right into Abels life, whether he likes it or not. But when Abel decides to give Mike a ride, he has no idea that the stranger is about to turn the trip into a nightmare. Mike is an arrogant control freak who seems to cause extraordinary things to happen. While he tells frightening tales about hitchhikers and deaths on the highways, Abel must summon false courage to survive the day. Mike has seen a man determine the fate of a passenger bus and people die in mysterious ways. He has slept in unusual places and met a family that refused to die. But it is not until Abel is led to a graveyard where he must unveil his fathers humongous tombstone that he is finally forced to face the brutal reality of his existence. Tombstone Blues shares the gripping tale of an unstable mans convoluted journey of self-discovery as a road trip transforms into a haunting roller coaster of horror and death.

Download or read book Wicked Messenger written by Mike Marqusee and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Dylan’s abrupt abandonment of overtly political songwriting in the mid-1960s caused an uproar among critics and fans. In Wicked Messenger, acclaimed cultural-political commentator Mike Marqusee advances the new thesis that Dylan did not drop politics from his songs but changed the manner of his critique to address the changing political and cultural climate and, more importantly, his own evolving aesthetic. Wicked Messenger is also a riveting political history of the United States in the 1960s. Tracing the development of the decade’s political and cultural dissent movements, Marqusee shows how their twists and turns were anticipated in the poetic aesthetic—anarchic, unaccountable, contradictory, punk— of Dylan's mid-sixties albums, as well as in his recent artistic ventures in Chronicles, Vol. I and Masked and Anonymous. Dylan’s anguished, self-obsessed, prickly artistic evolution, Marqusee asserts, was a deeply creative response to a deeply disturbing situation. "He can no longer tell the story straight," Marqusee concludes, "because any story told straight is a false one."
Book Synopsis About Man and God and Law by : Stephen Daniel Arnoff
Download or read book About Man and God and Law written by Stephen Daniel Arnoff and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today. Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan’s need to know what’s blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way. This field guide to Dylan's spiritual wisdom aims to make good on the promise that if we look closely enough at his body of work—precisely at a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory—we can open up our eyes to see not only where we really are, but where we need to go.
