Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic.

  • The Great Santini Free Ebook
    FREETHE GREAT SANTINI EBOOK Pat Conroy | 512 pages | 26 Mar 2002 | Random House USA Inc | 9780553381559 | English | New York, United States The Great Santini Summary | SuperSummary By dallasnews Administrator. In his novel, The Great SantiniPat Conroy spilled all the beans that a good son is never supposed to spill: He wrote about his brutal father, his cowed mother, his frightened and abused siblings, and his own defiant and terrorized young self, all thinly disguised, of course, as fiction. Like Bull Meecham in the novel, Donald Conroy really was a Marine fighter The Great Santini, really did beat and terrorize his wife and kids, really did drink to excess, really did swagger around and call himself the Great Santini. The book was a best-seller, and it was later made into a blockbuster movie starring Robert Duvall. His grandparents, aunts and uncles were horrified at the airing of family secrets, and they picketed his book events, urging people to stay away. And what of his father? What was the reaction of the brutal and sneering The Great Santini Santini? Pat Conroy, 68, lives in Beaufort, S. He's the author of 11 books — novels, memoirs and a cookbook — most of which are about that brutal upbringing. He started dropping by Conroy's apartment every morning to read the newspaper and chat. He turned into the world's most attentive grandfather. The metamorphosis didn't happen immediately, of course, nor did Donald Conroy love The Great The Great Santini right off the bat. When he first read it, he was furious. Then he wept.

  • Rock the Blues Away
    ROCK THESE BLUES AWAY. The Recordings of John Lee Hooker since 1981 ROCK THESE BLUES AWAY The Recordings Of John Lee Hooker Since 1981 By Gary Hearn (Feb. 2006) Introduction In 1992 Les Fancout’s sessionography of John Lee Hooker – “Boogie Chillen” – was published in booklet form by Blues & Rhythm magazine (ed. Tony Burke). This pamphlet is intended to update Les’ work with all the known Hooker sessions since 1981. Though details on other, earlier, sessions have come to light through recent releases, I have excluded them from the scope of my research and it is left to others to publish those corrections and additions elsewhere. The recordings listed here come from the final phase of John’s career during what is known as the Rosebud era, the name of his management company. To my imperfect mind, the best – and darkest – of them found release on the “Boom Boom” album put out by Pointblank in 1993. This was also a period when blues artists were called upon to provide benevolent cameos to artists better known in the mainstream. John took part in many such sessions with varying degrees of success; whatever the finished product, his contributions were immediately recognisable. The compact discs in this survey are, as far as I can tell, the first UK issue shown listed in order of catalogue number for ease of cross-reference to the sessionography. Because record companies re-issue, re-package and licence their recordings, subsequent issues are not considered. None of the cd-singles listed are still available and are shown merely in evidence of the penetration of the “John Lee Hooker” brand.

  • Talento Sharona
    Talento Sharona THE KNACK: IL FENOMENO “SHARONA” THE KNACK, “IL TALENTO”: questo è il nome della band di Los Angeles capitanata da Doug Fieger (chitarra e voce) e Berton Averre (chitarra) che ha segnato il mondo della musica a partire dalla fine degli anni settanta! A completare il quartettoPrescott Niles (basso) e Bruce Gary (batteria). Una delle band meno prolifiche del panorama Rock, ma sicuramente tra le più incisive. Una sola canzone che ha reso THE KNACK immortali: My Sharona! Con questo capolavoro THE KNACK del compianto Fieger (Doug Fieger è morto nel 2010 all’età di 57 anni per un tumore cerebrale; n.d.a.) hanno scalato le vette delle classifiche di quasi tutti i paesi del mondo rimanendoci fino ai giorni nostri. My Sharona è infatti la canzone più ascoltata da intere generazioni. Sono disposto a sfidare chiunque abbia più di 12 anni a non conoscere questo simbolo del Rock targato anni settanta… ottanta, novanta, duemila, duemilaedieci e pure venti! Moltissimi sono i musicisti che hanno adorato le canzoni di Doug & Co. ed alcuni hanno continuato a suonare la cover di My Sharona nei loro concerti, ricordo solo questi mostri sacri del Rock: METALLICA, FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA e ci metto pure i TIMORIA dell’amico Omar Pedrini. THE KNACK sono stati spesso sottovalutati, nonostante abbiano prodotto pezzi di grandissimo valore come Good Girls Don’t e Baby Talks Dirty. Solo My Sharona però ha tributato al Combo californiano un successo strabiliante. Il riff iniziale è uno dei più celebri e riconoscibili del Rock, forse anche più famoso dell’intro di Smoke on the Water dei DEEP PURPLE.
