Clearly one redneck dictionary was not enough. And it’s no wonder. The South is positively bursting at the seams with colorful words and turns of phrases in this distinct dialect. Now men and women from all across this great land can further fine-tune their fluency and showcase their confidence when speaking to folks who hail from below the Mason-Dixon line. Need a crash course in this truly inspired lingo? Well, Jeff Foxworthy’s Redneck Dictionary II puts the “vern” in “vernacular,” offering up a veritable gumbo of must-be-known selections: infamy (in’fe-mé) adv. and n. another person’s intent to exact physical punishment. “Ever since I stole his girlfriend, Bobby’s had it infamy.” assassin (e-sas’-en) v. to disrespect verbally. “Don’t just stand there assassin me, boy–go clean your room!” honor student (än’-er stu’-dent) prep. and n. to be positioned over, and supported by, a pupil. “Yeah, I knew piano lessons after midnight was weird, but I still didn’t suspect nothin’ till I caught her honor student.” So open your ears and activate your funny bone with this hilarious, practical, and playfully illustrated reference. It’s like having your very own personal dialect coach–one who doesn’t mind getting picked up and read and laughed at and passed along to friends.

Synopsis: LA Cult Hit 7 REDNECK CHEERLEADERS tells the story of a novice playwright and expert push over, Ben, attempting to direct his first play—at the advice of a favorite aunt on her deathbed. He meets a Hollywood theatre producer at Trader Joe’s and the Equity-waiver hell begins. Ben’s play within the play is an American Tale of a small town boy, Young, who against the wishes of a tyrannical, podunk father, is determined to become a high school cheerleader for the sake of love. Out of his element with actor-types, Ben rehearses the cast in their redneck roles. Hearts are trampled on. Rim jobs are discussed. Testicles are mangled and some actors die. But not without a serious, and cathartic, cheer-competition finale. And Ben’s favorite aunt smiles down from Lesbian Heaven. Cast Size: 4 Males, 4 Female

It was the season of the blockbuster. Between August 12 and November 26 1991, a whole slew of acts released albums that were supposed to sell millions of copies in the run-up to Christmas. Metallica, Michael Jackson, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Garth Brooks, MC Hammer, and U2 - all were competing for the attention of the record-buying public at the same time. But perhaps the most attention-seeking act of all was Guns N Roses. Their albums Use Your Illusion 1 and 2, released on the same day, were both 75-minute sprawlers with practically the same cover design - an act of colossal arrogance. On one level, it worked. The albums claimed the top two chart positions, and ultimately sold 7 million copies each in the US alone. On another level, it was a disaster. This was an album that Axl Rose has been unable to follow up in fifteen years. It signaled the end of Guns N Roses, of heavy metal on the Sunset Strip, and the entire 1980s model of blockbuster pop/rock promotion. Use Your Illusion marked the end of rock as mass culture. In this book, Eric Weisbard shows how the album has matured into a work whose baroque excesses now have something to teach us about pop and the platforms it raises and lowers, about a man who suddenly found himself praised to the firmament for every character trait that had hitherto marked him as an irredeemable loser.

What is it like to be old, to live in a nursing home, to deal with the daily frustrations of failing health, to watch one's independence dwindle away, and to struggle to deal with the challenge of daily existence? How does one ask for help, attract the minimum of attention that one needs, deal with the lack of privacy, the loss of friends and family, combat loneliness and find the courage and resources to meet the demands that each day brings while facing the menacing prospect of ever-narrowing horizons? The Home, by Marion Caryl Somers, portrays with realism what the struggle is like in emotional and practical terms for the frail elderly to live in a nursing facility. This often-neglected area of the human condition is a facet of the common experience that has been awaiting its chronicler and publicist. The Home is a case study written in novel form, using as role models such books as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey and Mash, by R. Hooker. The characters within The Home fall into three categories: (1) the residents; (2) the staff; (3) volunteer workers and visiting friends and family. The residents are themselves divided into two groups: those who function fairly well and those with physical, mental and/or emotional problems and limitations. The time frame of The Home is a one-year period. The setting is cosmopolitan and urban. Residents come from every walk of life. The thrust of the book highlights interaction among residents, families, volunteers and staff. The reader of The Home is able to understand what it is like to be in a wheelchair and ask for assistance for life's daily essentials. Those confined within the institution are left with no option but the nursing home facility. The businesslike manner of administration and its decision-making policies have an impact not only on the clients but on the staff and families as well. Legitimate needs of the geriatric population versus the personal wants and the need for individual freedom are carried out in the story line. The degradation resulting from dependency and decay are clearly enumerated as the story unfolds the routines within an institutional setting. The conflict between administration and workers during the strike period, and the impact the strike has on both clients and staff, is highlighted by the sense of fear and frustration of all concerned. The subject of death is dealt with from the client's point of view and the sense of loss that the staff feels and absorbs in their daily experience. One's own concept of mortality is brought to the fore. The main character, Rosie Hellman, holds on tenaciously to life, and within her capacity lives each day to the fullest. Monica Cameron, the Activity Director, is the central staff figure. She is a woman with two teenage children who is divorced and attending night school. The relationship that develops between Rosie and Monica is mutually supportive and insightful. Each learns from and admires the other. The Home deals with the process of coping with daily human needs and where we each are positioned in the continuum of life. The potential market: The Home comes at a time when there is a dramatic shift in the percentage of elderly in our population as a consequence of the prolongation of life. About 7.4 percent of adults over age 65 lives in nursing facilities in the United States. The projection for year 2020 is about 16 percent. The problems The Home addresses are relevant to a far greater number of Americans than ever before. This book is designed to address two target audiences:

Musical magic hit Austin, Texas, in the early 1970s. At now-legendary venues such as Threadgill's, Vulcan Gas Company, and the Armadillo World Headquarters, a host of country, rock-and-roll, blues, and folk musicians came together and created a sound and a scene that Jan Reid vividly detailed in his 1974 book, The Improbable Rise of Redneck Rock. The breadth of talent still astounds—Willie Nelson, Janis Joplin, Jerry Jeff Walker, Doug Sahm, Delbert McClinton, Michael Martin Murphey, Willis Alan Ramsey, Kinky Friedman, Steve Fromholz, Bobby Bridger, Billy Joe Shaver, Marcia Ball, and Townes Van Zandt. Reid's book even inspired the nationally popular and long-running PBS series Austin City Limits, which focused attention on the trends that fed the music scene—progressive country, country rock, western swing, blues, and bluegrass among them. In this new edition, Jan Reid revitalizes his classic look at the Austin music scene. He has substantially reworked the early chapters to include musicians and musical currents from other parts of Texas that significantly contributed to the delightful convergence of popular cultures in Austin. Four new chapters and an epilogue show how the creative burst of the seventies directly spawned a new generation of talents who carry on the tradition—Lyle Lovett, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Robert Earl Keen, Steve Earle, Jimmy LaFave, Kelly Willis, Joe Ely, Bruce and Charlie Robison, and The Dixie Chicks.

In this unique book, David Fillingim explores country music as a mode of theological expression. Following the lead of James Cone's classic, "The Spirituals and the Blues, Fillingim looks to country music for themes of theological liberation by and for the redneck community. The introduction sets forth the book's methodology and relates it to recent scholarship on country music. Chapter 1 contrasts country music with Southern gospel music--the sacred music of the redneck community--as responses to the question of theodicy, which a number of thinkers recognize as the central question of marginalized groups. The next chapter "The Gospel according to Hank," outlines the career of Hank Williams and follows that trajectory through the work of other artists whose work illustrates how the tradition negotiates Hank's legacy. "The Apocalypse according to Garth" considers the seismic shifts occuring during country music's popularity boom in the 1980s. Another chapter is dedicated to the women of country music, whose honky-tonky feminism parallels and intertwines with mainstream country music, which was dominated by men for most of its history. Written to entertain as well as educate and advance, "Redneck Liberation will appeal to anyone who is interested in country music, Southern religion, American popular religiosity, or liberation theology.

In From Yeoman to Redneck in the South Carolina Upcountry, Stephen A. West revises understandings of the American South by offering a new perspective on two iconic figures in the region's social landscape. "Yeoman," a term of praise for the small landowning farmer, was commonly used during the antebellum era but ultimately eclipsed by "redneck," an epithet that emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. In popular use, each served less as a precise class label than as a means to celebrate or denigrate the moral and civic worth of broad groups of white men. Viewing these richly evocative figures as ideological inventions rather than sociological realities, West examines the divisions they obscured and the conflicts that gave them such force. The setting for this impressively detailed study is the Upper Piedmont of South Carolina, the sort of upcountry region typically associated with the white "plain folk." West shows how the yeoman ideal played a vital role in proslavery discourse before the Civil War but poorly captured the realities of life, with important implications for how historians understand the politics of slavery and the drive for secession. After the Civil War, the South Carolina upcountry was convulsed by the economic transformations and political conflicts out of which the redneck was born. West reinterprets key developments in the history of the New South--such as the politics of lynching and the phenomenon of the "Southern demagogue"--and uncovers the historical roots of a stereotype that continues to loom large in popular understandings of the American South. Drawing together periods and topics often treated separately, West combines economic, social, and political history in an original and compelling account.

Old Raleigh Road is a play in three acts. It is a serious look at the tobacco issue both economically and morally. A tobacco farmer contracts lung cancer and summons his family home while he deals with his impending death. Ultimately, he makes a decision that will affect his entire family and the tobacco industry in his region. Rednecks, the play, was an adaptation of Batchelor's novel by the same name. Rednecks has also been produced. Rednecks was staged in the very bar, by and among the characters that inspired the broad satire. This play is a satirical approach to the ironies and idiocy of two actual killings stunning in their irrationality. . Boson Books also offers Becoming Americans, a historical novel by Donald Batchelor. For an author bio, photo, reviews, and a reading sample, visit bosonbooks.com.

This is a fictional story where boy and girl from very different backgrounds meet and marry, but instead of happily ever after, it follows their struggles and triumphs over fifty years of marriage. The settings are mainly small-town living, logging, and mushroom picking. Writing has given me an opportunity to imagine what might be behind what appearances indicate.

Raised by a single mom in rural Illinois, Gretchen Wilson's formal education concluded in the eighth grade when she traded books for tending bar at Big O's, a rough-and-tumble joint on the outskirts of Pocahontas, IL. By the time she was 15, Gretchen was managing the place with the help of a loaded 12-gauge behind the bar to keep folks in line. Though he was long gone, Wilson's father had instilled a love of music in his daughter that blossomed on stage at Big O's where she found herself fronting a cover band and eyeing a move to Nashville in search of something more. Another town, struggling in another bar job, but again her gift for music won out. Discovered while singing with the house band at a bar in Nashville's famed Printer's Alley, Gretchen Wilson soon joined the ranks of the Muzik Mafia and the rest is history. In less than one calendar year she went from worrying about the repossession of her car to being one of the most successful recording stars in the world. Co-written by acclaimed and New York Times bestselling author Allen Rucker, the book will cover this inspiring All-American success story while providing a fun, and insightful look in on the kind of strength, will, and humor that have allowed Wilson to reclaim the term "Redneck" and recast it as a point of pride for millions of her fans. Whether she discusses her fashion preferences (Wal-Mart over Victoria's Secret), her choice of beer over champagne, her views on family, or the artists who've helped her to carve out the path she currently walks (Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, etc.), Wilson's signature knack for storytelling and connecting with her audience on that authentically real level translates seamlessly to the page and offers a new and exciting glimpse at one of America's most beloved performers.
