In 1971, college-freshman Larry Singer approached a local concert promoter for permission to take concert photographs for his column in a small-town newspaper. Little did he know that, a verbal agreement and handshake later, he would have unrestricted access to countless rock-and-roll musicians that would later be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Two years later, he was recruited to shoot for Circus magazine and his images were being picked up for mass-market posters and promotions--and he gained access to shoot at concert venues and festival around the country. In the ensuing years, Singer shot photos of The Who, Bob Dylan, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, and many more. In this book, he takes readers behind the scenes with stories and photos from his favorite performers and concerts.
"You sing your songs and maybe you go for a walk or a beer, but at some point your brain must remind you that your audience is back there dying."From the author of The Marriage Hearse, a New York Times New & Noteworthy selection, and The Handsome Sailor, a New York Times Notable Book, comes a new novel that explores the little-known world of hospice singing-home visit concerts for the dying-through the surprising relationship between one of the singers, 66-year-old Ian Nelson, and a beautiful young woman, Anita Richardson, to whom his choir sings.Ian, retired from a career as a high school guidance counselor, long married, and the father of two, considers himself an ordinary man. He is intelligent, engaging, more attractive than he seems to know, and, as the son of a minister, determinedly moral. Meeting Anita threatens it all. His attraction and connection to this much younger woman-who, to complicate matters, is dying-upends his quiet New England life.In richly detailed, finely honed prose threaded through with Larry Duberstein's characteristic humor and compassion, The Hospice Singer explores the hidden complexities of life in small town America.

For his long-awaited first book, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has revised some of his best essays on Wikipedia, intellectual autonomy, knowledge in the digital age, and how to fight back against the centralization of the Internet."A fundamental player in the history of the modern Internet" Salon"A philosopher who explores the very nature and sources of knowledge" Technology ReviewThe digital revolution has been corrupted. What began as a celebration of freedom has become a machine for monitoring and control. What began as history's greatest dream of enlightenment has been twisted into an anti-intellectual nightmare of indoctrination.In twelve essays, several already well-known but newly revised in this volume, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger stakes out a hard-headed position in favor of the ideals of the digital revolution. At the same time he firmly rejects the disastrous na vet that would have us abandon wisdom and autonomy, ignore subversion by bad actors, and blindly trust unaccountable, giant corporations.Sanger concludes with a new essay on the problems facing the free Internet, available only in this book.The essays (270 pgs.): The Early History of Nupedia and Wikipedia: A Memoir Two Early Articles about Wikipedia Wikipedia's Original Neutrality PolicyWhy Neutrality?
