George Jones' nearly 60-year recording and performing career has had a profound influence on modern country music and influenced a younger generation of singers, including Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, and Trace Adkins. As Merle Haggard said of Jones in Rolling Stone magazine, His voice was like a Stradivarius violin: one of the greatest instruments ever made. Jones' saga is a larger-than-life tale of rags to riches and back to rags again. He was born into near poverty in a backwater patch of East Texas. His formal education ended early; by his early teens, he was singing on the streets of Beaumont, Texas, for tips. After beginning to record in the mid-1950s Jones became, by sheer dint of his vocal prowess, one of Nashville's most celebrated honky-tonk singers. But from the start, Jones' life, as often reflected in his music, was shaped by misdirection, chaos, turmoil, and emotional strife aggravated by a ferocious appetite for alcohol. Fame and adulation seemed to merely intensify his personal travails. Jones' story has a relatively happy ending.With the help of fourth wife Nancy during the final decade and a half of his life, he got clean and sober, was feted as a much-revered elder statesman for the music, and, by most accounts, found peace of mind at long last.

The latest book by author Bob Allen - Basically Evil - Focuses on the current issues of evil plaguing our society today, as it's no longer an issue of whether or not any evil activities taking place, it's now about who is doing it. The political foundations of America have been overthrown by activists and pundits alike to the degree the citizens of this country no longer elect valued politicians but the lesser of two evils. Churches no longer engage in spiritual warfare against evil but engage in plagiarism and ego-driven dynamics leaving the realm of darkness to free roam in them and amidst the populace at large. While the devil is evil by nature, humanity is fast catching up in its efforts of wickedness and evils too.

The year is 1970. The place is an Irish Catholic working class neighborhood in the south side of Chicago. The parish of St. Justin Martyr. Gary "Weezer" O'Donnell is about to enter the eighth grade and feels that it is time to put away childish things and to start exploring the process of growing up. But he has questions. Many questions. Father Tom Mallon has returned to St. Justin after some financial misfeasance at his prior church assignment. He grew up in the parish almost two decades earlier. Both of his parents had died while he was young and he found himself living with his Uncle Wally, a kind man who made his living collecting gambling debts in the neighborhood. Through Uncle Wally, both Tom and his best friend, Freddy Gallagher, acquiescence the ways and means of the gambling world, yet Tom keeps his promise to his mother and becomes a priest. But old habits die hard and Tom has his own set of questions. It is then that the paths of Father Mallon and Weezer O'Donnell cross in fateful and ironic ways that leave each of them satisfied that sometimes your questions can't be answered and you just have to let it be at that.
