Printing courtesy of Razorcake Press, Razorcake.org he Gun Club is one of Los Angeles’s greatest bands. Lead singer, guitarist, and figurehead Jeffrey Lee Pierce fits in easily with Tthe genius songwriting of Arthur Lee (Love), Chris Hillman (Byrds), and John Doe and Exene (X). Unfortunately, neither he nor his band achieved the notoriety of his fellow luminary Angelinos. From 1979 to 1996, Jeffrey manned the Gun Club ship through thick and mostly thin. Understandably, the initial Fire of Love and Miami lineup of Ward Dotson (guitar), Rob Ritter (bass), Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals/ guitar) and Terry Graham (drums) remains the most beloved; setting the spooky, blues-punk template for future Gun Club releases. At the time of its release, Fire of Love was heralded by East Coast critics as one of the best albums of 1981.

    West Hollywood, California's Go-To-Guide to the City's Three

    West Hollywood, California’s go-to-guide to the City’s Three Districts The Sunset Strip After decades of notoriety, the Sunset Strip continues to blaze its own path as a world-famous cultural landmark, setting trends in music, hotels, dining and shopping. This most famous stretch of Sunset Boulevard begins and ends in West Hollywood, and like the city it calls home, it is constantly breaking new ground and reinventing itself. Though it’s often been portrayed in movies like Sunset Boulevard, Almost Famous and Rock of Ages, visitors say that nothing compares to seeing the Sunset Strip up close and in person. Bordered on the west by Beverly Hills and on the east by Hollywood, this iconic 1.5 mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard features an array of world-class hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and spas. Through the years, the Sunset Strip has seen it all, starting with the seedy glitz of the 1920s, when Prohibition fueled the rise of nightclubs and speakeasies. Because West Hollywood was not yet an incorporated city, this strip of Sunset Boulevard was lightly policed, making the Strip the perfect playground for the rebellious denizens of early Hollywood. By the 1940s, swanky nightclubs like Ciro’s, Trocadero and Mocambo reigned supreme, attracting A-list celebrity clientele like Marilyn Monroe along with less savory characters like gangster Bugsy Siegel, who called the Strip his stomping grounds. In the 1960s, the Sunset Strip became the major gathering place for the counterculture movement in Los Angeles. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were fixtures of the Strip and the surrounding West Hollywood landscape.
  • Praise for Say Goodbye

    Praise for Say Goodbye

    praise for say goodbye “Shiner has written a fine novel about rock ’n’ roll by believing more in musicians’ human nature than in their mythologies.” —Mark Athitakis, New York Times Book Review “Say Goodbye resonates like a blue note heard and remem- bered in a smoky, late-night club. Lewis Shiner has written the Citizen Kane of rock and roll novels, a human and mov- ing piece of work.” —George P. Pelecanos, author of The Sweet Forever “Gritty, funny, cynical, and sentimental; a sharply focused epic that brings welcome revision to the sunny, pop-culture success gospels that have led so many naïve talents astray.” —Kirkus Reviews “Every band has an inner momentum like this, its entangles and wreck-tangles, moments of bliss mixed with the jar- ring reality of life in the belly of the music business, and the shared song which makes it all worthwhile. Lewis Shiner sings the tale with harmonic compassion.” —Lenny Kaye, guitarist, Patti Smith Group “Engrossing...Shiner competently vivifies the uncertainties and boredom of the musician’s life, but more impressively, he manages to convey the almost indescribable joy of bringing an audience from a state of apathy to the edge of hysteria...A revealing look at today’s music business.” —George Needham, Booklist “A spare and remarkable book resonating with heart and bittersweet reality.” —Mike Shea, Texas Monthly “[A] soulful elegy...fresh and original...Shiner’s extensive research gives the story an authentic feel and keeps it from becoming a soap opera or a wearisome cover version of every other rise-and-fall parable.

    www.pbsfm.org.au FULL TRANSCRIPT OF MUSIC TRIBUTE #2 - HENRY ROLLINS Pt.2 First broadcast on PBS-FM Saturday 15 April 2006, 7-8pm Henry Rollins Music Tribute to Mick Geyer - recorded 26 May 2005 at PBS-FM (NB: This transcript reflects the content of the streaming audio version. This hour was edited for broadcast due to time constraints.) 0:00 My name is Henry Rollins and I'm hosting this little show playing the music that was given to me as a gift by the many, many conversations I would have with Mick Geyer from the late '80's until 2003, the last time I ever saw him. We did speak a few more times via email, but we were never phone pals, we would communicate via email. And thankfully, one of his many gifts to me was about 12,500 words in letters that he left me in correspondence, and I wisely saved every letter he ever sent me via mail, via email, so I've got it all. His emails to me are very articulate and eloquently written. They're also like this mother-load of factual information - like, if you like this lady, then read this book, if you like that, then check this out. And that goes from every artist, all kinds of music, into films, into directors, and through Mick I've been buying all kinds of Russian film directors, I can't even pronounce their names!

    Media's Positive and Negative Frames in Reporting Celebrity Deaths

    Media’s Positive and Negative Frames in Reporting Celebrity Deaths From Illegal Drug Overdoses Versus Prescription Medication Overdoses By Michelle Wood Submitted to the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. ____________________________ Chairperson Mugur Geana, Assistant Professor _______________________________ John Broholm, Associate Professor _______________________________ Crystal Lumpkins, Assistant Professor Date Approved: November 14, 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Michelle Wood certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Media’s Positive and Negative Frames in Reporting Celebrity Deaths From Illegal Drug Overdoses Versus Prescription Medication Overdoses _______________________________ Mugur Geana, Assistant Professor Date Approved: November 14, 2011 iii Abstract This study compared the celebrity illegal drug overdose deaths of River Phoenix, Chris Farley, and Brad Renfro to the prescription drug overdose deaths of Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger, and Brittany Murphy. This research used quantitative conceptual content analysis of news articles from The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, People, and Entertainment Weekly. This research discovered whether media used in this study framed prescription drug deaths more positively than illegal drug deaths, which was proved to be true. It also determined media did not employ socially responsible frames when reporting on these deaths. The last question in this research discovered if the type of drug involved in the celebrities’ death influenced the way media portrayed the celebrities’ character. This research proved that, when reporting on negative drug overdoses, media framed celebrities’ perceptions negatively but found no evidence of positive celebrity perceptions when reporting about prescription drug overdoses.
