Kinky's Celebrity Pet Files by Kinky Friedman Pdf

Kinky Friedman is not only a man of the people, he's a man of the animal kingdom. Kinky is a man who wears many hats -- not just a Stetson. Aside from being a politico, folksinger, and mystery author, he's also a longtime animal advocate and feels as passionately about his pets as he does about legislative reform. But rather than simply write about his own experiences, why shouldn't he include a few friends? Of course, Kinky's address book is unique, and he's taken full advantage. In his new collection, Kinky's Celebrity Pet Files, the Kinkster writes about his famous friends and their pets you've never met, each with a story as delightful and offbeat as the author himself. Kinky has gathered together an eclectic and extraordinary group of talented celebrity pals to talk about the subject nearest and dearest to their hearts: their pets. With candid, personal photos of the stars and their beloved animals and insider stories to match, the book is like a party only Kinky could throw, and the results are both entertaining and endearing. It's not your average celebrity pet book, because Kinky's not your average celebrity. He's got musicians, like Johnny Cash and his pig, Brian Wilson with his dog, and Willie Nelson doing his best horse whisperer impersonation; actors and comedians ranging from Phyllis Diller with Miss Kitty to Richard Pryor on a pygmy pony; and a lineup of writers, politicians, and some heroes of the past -- Bill Clinton, Joseph Heller, and Mark Twain, to name a few. Hilarious, oddball, heartwarming, and edgy all at once, Kinky's Celebrity Pet Files is a book for animal lovers, celebrity junkies, and anyone who just likes a good story. It's a little weird, it's completely charming, and it's 100 percent Kinky.

The F-Word by Jesse Sheidlower Pdf

We all know what frak, popularized by television's cult hit Battlestar Galactica, really means. But what about feck? Or ferkin? Or foul--as in FUBAR, or "Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition"? In a thoroughly updated edition of The F-Word, Jesse Sheidlower offers a rich, revealing look at the f-bomb and its illimitable uses. Since the fifteenth century, no other word has been adapted, interpreted, euphemized, censored, and shouted with as much ardor or force; imagine Dick Cheney telling Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy to "go damn himself" on the Senate floor--it doesn't have quite the same impact as what was really said. Sheidlower cites this and other notorious examples throughout history, from the satiric sixteenth-century poetry of James Cranstoun to the bawdy parodies of Lord Rochester in the seventeenth century, to more recent uses by Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, Ann Sexton, Norman Mailer, Liz Phair, Anthony Bourdain, Junot Diaz, Jenna Jameson, Amy Winehouse, Jon Stewart, and Bono (whose use of the word at the Grammys nearly got him fined by the FCC). Collectively, these references and the more than one hundred new entries they illustrate double the size of The F-Word since its previous edition. Thousands of added quotations come from newly available electronic databases and the resources of the OED, expanding the range of quotations to cover British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Irish, and South African uses in addition to American ones. Thus we learn why a fugly must hone his or her sense of humor, why Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau muttered "fuddle duddle" in the Commons, and why Fanny Adams is so sweet. A fascinating introductory essay explores the word's history, reputation, and changing popularity over time. and a new Foreword by comedian, actor, and author Lewis Black offers readers a smart and entertaining take on the book and its subject matter. Oxford dictionaries have won renown for their expansive, historical approach to words and their etymologies. The F-Word offers all that and more in an entertaining and informative look at a word that, while now largely accepted as an integral part of the English language, still confounds, provokes, and scandalizes.

Hokum by Paul Beatty Pdf

Edited by the author of The Sellout, winner of the 2016 Man Booker Prize, Hokum is a liberating, eccentric, savagely comic anthology of the funniest writing by black Americans. This book is less a comprehensive collection than it is a mix-tape narrative dubbed by a trusted friend-a sampler of underground classics, rare grooves, and timeless summer jams, poetry and prose juxtaposed with the blues, hip-hop, political speeches, and the world's funniest radio sermon. The subtle musings of Toni Cade Bambara, Henry Dumas, and Harryette Mullen are bracketed by the profane and often loud ruminations of Langston Hughes, Darius James, Wanda Coleman, Tish Benson, Steve Cannon, and Hattie Gossett. Some of the funniest writers don't write, so included are selections from well-known yet unpublished wits Lightnin' Hopkins, Mike Tyson, and the Reverend Al Sharpton. Selections also come from public figures and authors whose humor, although incisive and profound, is often overlooked: Malcolm X, Suzan-Lori Parks, Zora Neale Hurston, Sojourner Truth, and W.E.B. Dubois. Groundbreaking, fierce, and hilarious, this is a necessary anthology for any fan or student of American writing, with a huge range and a smart, political grasp of the uses of humor.

End of the Rope by Jan Redford Pdf

"Jan Redford is a bad–ass. She is also a born storyteller." —John Vaillant, author of The Tiger In this funny and gritty debut memoir, praised by Outside, Sierra, Alpinist, and more, Jan Redford grows from a reckless rock climber to a mother who fights to win back her future. As a teenager, she sets her sights on the improbable dream of climbing mountains. By age twenty, she’s a climber with a magnetic attraction to misadventures and the wrong men. Redford finally finds the love of her life, an affable Rockies climber. When he is killed in an avalanche in Alaska, a grieving Redford finds comfort in the arms of another extreme alpinist. Before long, they are married, with a baby on the way. While her husband works as a logger, Redford tackles the traditional role of wife and mother. But soon, she pursues her own dream, one that pits her against her husband. End of the Rope is Redford's telling of heart–stopping adventures, from being rescued off El Capitan to leading a group of bumbling cadets across a glacier. It is her laughter–filled memoir of friendships with women in that masculine world. Most moving, this is the story of her struggle to make her own way in the mountains and in life. To lead, not follow.

The Harpies by Sabrina Zubiri Pdf

In 2004, four flawed and imperfect sisters embarked upon a cross-country road trip to fulfill a promise to uncover a long-buried tragedy in their mother Demi’s past. They went on the journey in an old school bus used in 1969 on Demi’s trip to Woodstock with a group of her friends. The sisters' journey introduced them to characters from Demi’s past, and those characters provided the clues and sometimes the answers to this mystery. The story of the road trip hinged on flashback sequences from Demi’s friends’ collective memories of the late 60’s and early 70’s political upheavals and the ripple effects of those upheavals that impacted that group and changed their lives forever! How could they solve Demi’s mystery and an uncovered conspiracy? How did a hidden map, a missing girl, a Weather Underground bombing, a kidnapping, an unfound treasure, and a couple of murders all connect?

Talbott Street by Hutton Hayes Pdf

Talbot Street is a contemporary literary novel with mainstream appeal which explores the subjects of love, fidelity, death, and disease through the mysterious and long-standing friendship of its two major characters, Nick and Johnnie R. The action unfolds in the present through a series of flashbacks by the narrator, Nick, as he sits at the bedside of the dying Johnnie R. As Nick reminisces, the novel fluctuates between present and past as Johnnie R. slowly dies of AIDS, and the mysterious facts surrounding their break of eight years earlier are divulged as the novel progresses with each new flashback. With the help of Johnnie R.'s journal of poems, anecdotes, and explorations, the narrator's powerful ruminations pull the reader well beyond the death at hand and through the emotional and gripping wake of a passionate friendship spanning twenty years, two continents, and the interstices of the human soul. Nick, the southern narrator, is a highly introspective man in his mid-thirties who returns to Indianapolis in December of 1991 at the request of his dying friend, Johnnie R. Nick is heterosexual and Johnnie R. is bisexual. They first met at Princeton, separated upon graduation as Nick took up his expatriate career in the Foreign Service and reunited five years later in Indianapolis where Nick was drawn into the nightmarish realm of Johnnie R.'s married and professional banker's life. Caught in the webs of Johnnie R.'s endless social and professional intrigues, Nick also met and fell in love with Johnnie R.'s lovely artist wife, Charly (for Charlene). Though Charly is attempting to mend her fragile marriage to Johnnie R. (following the disclosure of his bisexuality) she allows herself the single infidelity with Nick. The tragic triangle is formed, then brutally broken. Nick then departs, only to return eight years later as Johnnie R. dies of AIDS. Nick and Johnnie R. now become reacquainted in the hospital, and it is when Johnnie R. sleeps that Nick relates the sometimes tragic, oftentimes mysterious, history of their friendship. Although the novel centers on the triangle, it is populated with a variety of characters: a slick hustler named Danny alias, the kid; Johnnie R.'s tough-as-nails father; Charly's dead brother; Mike, a scandalized homosexual bank executive; and the three hospital patients known as the three Queens. The single symbol which weaves them together (along with the many issues revolving around AIDS) is Talbott Street. A talisman of disparate meanings, it is an Indianapolis ghetto bar, a residential street address in London, the macabre scene of a senseless murder, an untitled series of mysterious paintings, the seat of scandal. Nick finds the intertwining of the several images that compose Talbot Street and enigma impossible to ignore, and as he reflects on the past he also traces the meaning of Talbot Street. The narrator, hyper-conscious, ever-ruminating, uncovers a tragic irony when he discovers a nexus among seemingly unrelated events with the help of the virus. The novel's two separate themes of friendship and disease find resolution as the mysterious past enlightens us as to the many contemporary meanings of HIV. This highlights and accentuates the mysterious and parallel manner in which both the human memory and HIV operate. As with memory, HIV lurks in the background, dormant, awaiting a host. The hidden past awaits to be mined, and within the past lies HIV. In order to find a viable reference to meaning in the present, whether in regard to AIDS or the mysteries informing the long-standing friendship of Nick and Johnnie R., we are thrust ceaselessly into the past.

Hard to Handle by Steve Gorman Pdf

Black Crowes drummer and cofounder Steve Gorman shares the band's inside story in this behind-the-scenes biography, from their supernova stardom in the '90s to exhilarating encounters with industry legends. For more than two decades, the Black Crowes topped the charts and reigned supreme over the radio waves, even as hair bands, grunge, and hip-hop threatened to dethrone them. With hits like "Hard to Handle," "She Talks to Angels," and "Remedy," their massive success launched them to stardom in the early '90s, earning them a place among rock royalty. They were on the cover of Rolling Stone, MTV played their videos 24/7, and Generation X rediscovered the power of classic rock and blues by digging into multi-platinum classics like Shake Your Money Maker and The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. But stardom can be fleeting. For the Black Crowes, success slowly dwindled as the band members got caught up in the rock star world and lost sight of their musical ambition. Despite the drinking, drugs, and incessant fighting between Chris and Rich Robinson -- the angriest brothers in rock and roll, with all due respect to Oasis and the Kinks -- the band continued to tour until 2013. On any given night, they could be the best band you ever saw (or the most combative). Then, one last rift caused by Chris Robinson proved insurmountable for the band to survive. After that, the Black Crowes would fly no more. Founding member Steve Gorman was there for all of it -- the coke- and weed-fueled tours; the tumultuous recording sessions; the backstage hangs with legends like Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and the Rolling Stones. As the band's drummer and voice of reason, he tried to keep the Black Crowes together musically and emotionally. In Hard To Handle -- the first account of this great American rock band's beginning, middle, and end -- Gorman explains just how impossible that job was with great insight, candor, and humor. They don't make bands like the Black Crowes anymore: crazy, brilliant, self-destructive, inspiring, and, ultimately, not built to last. But, man, what a ride it was while it lasted.

Conversations With The Dead by David Gans Pdf

A collection of interviews—some vintage, some recent, and some brand-new—Conversations with the Dead is the first (and only) book in which the Grateful Dead speak in their own words about their music and their lives. David Gans, a self-professed Deadhead and host of "The Grateful Dead Hour," asked Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and the rest of the band the questions their fans would have asked if given the chance. And Gans reaches far beyond the musicians, talking with such often-overlooked key players as the recording engineer, sound man, and road crew—those who have had the coveted opportunity to witness the Dead's decades of music-making. This updated and expanded edition includes a rare, never-before-published interview with Seastones composer Ned Lagin and a new introduction by the author. With a readable combination of intensity, inquisitiveness, and candor, Gans has created an unprecedented portrait of a band who, after more than thirty years of music-making, has earned a unique place in American culture.

Now It’s Inescapable by Bill Mccausland Pdf

He became self-deceptive and then had a realization. Dr. Glen Coyle used to be an artist at what he does. In his office is a hand sculpture given by a patient whose hand he reattached. These days, though, Glen is doing his best to keep his hands from shaking. He’s on the run constantly — from pharmaceuticals he’s supposed to be prescribing for his patients. His wife is about to leave him. The DEA comes to pay him a visit. But when he’s called before the hospital board, he knows his days of running wild have careened out of control. Now It’s Inescapable is a timely recovery story about a man in desperate search of love and oblivion in equal measure. Glen will do anything to avoid facing himself, and the title of the novel becomes a repeating mantra each time he gets cornered with himself — and then ducks away. Glen is very good at wiggling out. Even after he’s ordered to rehab, he takes off on a disastrous bolt to Baja California that takes him to the brink of self-destruction. He has hit the proverbial bottom. Gradually, Glen faces the unresolved issues of his past: his neglectful and distant mother, his abusive military father, his war experiences in Iraq as a trauma surgeon, and the biggest gorilla in his living room-his addiction. Once Glen fully commits to this fateful step, the world around him slowly reshapes to his new perspective — the plastic surgery has its positive uses, he feels more empathic with his patients, he has embarked on a promising new relationship that he must take slowly. In the closing scenes Glen and his sponsor do a medical mission to Guatemala, and his tormented past is transformed into his best asset.
