Billy Joel
Author: Hank Bordowitz

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Release Date: 2011-03-01
Billy Joel: The Life and Times of an Angry Young Man is a look at the superstar's entire career, including his troubled youth as a gang member; the controversy surrounding his first hit, “Captain Jack”; his legal problems; his storied marriage with Christie Brinkley; and his continued artistic frustration. “The Beatles did 'Michelle' and 'Yesterday '” he has said., “They also did 'Revolution' and 'Helter Skelter' and they weren't pegged as balladeers. But because I had hit singles that were ballads, I became known as a balladeer. I've always resented it.” Joel – one of the top ten touring takes of the decade – has continued his standing road date with Elton John on the never-ending Two Pianos tour. It was one of the world's top-grossing tours in 2009, just behind U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
Rockin' the Free World!
Author: Sean Kay
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 2016-12-29
In Rockin' the Free World, international relations expert Sean Kay takes readers inside “Bob Dylan’s America” and shows how this vision linked the rock and roll revolution to American values of freedom, equality, human rights, and peace while tracing how those values have spread globally. Rockin' the Free World then shows how artists have engaged in advancing change via opportunity and education; domestic and international issue advocacy; and within the recording and broader communications industry. The book is built around primary interviews with prominent American and international performing artists ranging from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and Grammy winners to regional and local musicians. The interviews include leading industry people, management, journalists, heads of non-profits, and activists. The book concludes with a look at how musical artists have defined the American experience and what that has meant for the world.
The Last Unicorn
Resilient, strong, and unabashedly Irish, Kathryn "Fifi" McFadden has lived through some of the most tumultuous decades of American and world history. Through the years, she became a consummate storyteller, regaling her children and grandchildren with tales from her life. Fifi always said she should write a book, and now, with the help of her son Philip, she's done exactly that. Full of vivid historical detail and the wit and wisdom only Fifi can bring, The Last Unicorn takes you from her family's humble origins in Ireland, through her own innocent youth, growing up in depression era Tarrytown, New York; to her life as a struggling working mom raising five sons, and to the twilight of her years. With insightful glimpses of life on the American home front and the Pacific theater of combat during World War II, the turbulent times of the 1960s and 1970s, and the dawn of new millennium, Fifi provides an eyewitness account of these historic periods. Fifi's tales encompass all the joys and sorrows life has to offer. Taken as a whole, they paint a portrait of a remarkable woman, as well as the many lives she touched and helped shape. The Last Unicorn is not only a family history, but a tribute to Fifi and her incredible generation.
