Where I Am Now

Where I Am Now

Robert Day

BkMk Press of the University of Missouri-Kansas City
2012
nidottu
Fiction. In his new story collection, WHERE WE ARE NOW, Robert Day brings new life to rural Western Kansas. Most of the stories are set in the fictional town of Bly, Kansas, and chronicle the daily life through a diverse set of perspectives ranging from a Russian-nuclear-attack fearing grandmother to a handyman who hunts for skulls along the Whitewoman River. Day closes the book with a story about a Kansan man living for a time in rural France. As Day writes in his preface, "The reason my muse and I like first person stories is because together we can be more than ourselves as we tell them. It is as if we are creating a talking family, some of us from one generation and some from another, some adopted, some of dubious parentage."

America has a serious problem in having Donald Trump as a national leadera problem that far too many Americans are refusing to acknowledge. Choosing to close our eyes to the disturbing realities of the Trump presidency will not make them go away. Whether in regard to his personal improprieties or in the incessant rhetoric from the White House, Donald Trump is simply incapable of being honest. His consuming narcissism prevents him from admitting to obvious missteps, and refusal to do so leads to what this book labels chain dishonesty. Yet in Trumpism, there is always a clear purpose in concealing the truth, hence the term blindness, by design.

The Mentor: Shaping a New Generation

Robert Day Potter

Ephesus Press
2012

What is a man? That is the question twenty-one-year-old Alex, deeply in love with his fianc and earnestly determined to be a proper husband, asks his grandfather. In response, the older man draws upon his own life experience, psychology, history, and vivid imagination to introduce his beloved grandson to his own inner manhood. The resulting tale is an odyssey through 16th century Nuremberg, Germany, where the protagonist, a young G.I., encounters and becomes apprenticed to historical figures representing the male archetypes of Warrior, Magician, King, and Lover. The soldier who emerges from that experience presents Alex-and an entire generation of young men-with a clear vision of manhood in its fullness.

Badfinger On Track

Badfinger On Track

Robert Day-Webb

Sonicbond Publishing
2022
nidottu
Generally regarded as one of the most tragic tales in the history of rock music, the story of Badfinger does indeed make for an impressively sombre Hollywood-style film script. A Welsh and Liverpudlian musical hybrid, the band was signed to Apple Records, became protégés of The Beatles, produced four global hit singles and two of its members co-wrote the now perennial pop standard ‘Without You’ (covered most notably by both Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey). Yet, despite all this and having the music world seemingly at its feet, the band found itself plagued by ruinous misfortune and through a combination of unscrupulous business management, record label neglect and just plain bad luck, the dream soon lay in tatters with the band’s story ultimately culminating in the suicides of two of its members, Pete Ham and Tom Evans. However, there is a lot more to the band’s story than just the obvious tragedy and the aim of this book is to help redress the band’s legacy and refocus some much-needed attention on the brilliance of their music, rather than just the trials and tribulations that perpetually dogged them. Badfinger on track … casts a keen critical and analytical eye over the band’s entire musical output – albums and singles – recorded and released during its lifetime. This detailed and definitive guide will not only examine and assess the recordings but will also provide valuable background history and context for each album. Whilst not ignoring the managerial, financial and legal machinations and issues that blighted the band, this book will ultimately focus the spotlight on the band’s musical legacy

Humble Pie On Track

Humble Pie On Track

Robert Day-Webb

Sonicbond Publishing
2023
nidottu
The hard-rocking British supergroup was fronted by Steve Marriott, possessor of what is generally regarded as one of the finest ever rock and blue-eyed soul voices. They achieved global success in the early 1970s and earned themselves a reputation as one of the best live bands of the era. As fate would have it, however, this enormous success was to be short-lived and the group initially disbanded in 1975. There were to be subsequent reformations and reunions, but the heady days of the early 1970s were not to be repeated. Ultimately, rock music history books have tended to somewhat overlook the band in favour of some of their contemporaries – the likes of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Faces, Free and Bad Company – but Humble Pie’s influence on the rock and metal bands that followed in their wake cannot be denied. This book examines all of Humble Pie’s recorded output in detail – album by album, track by track – covering every chapter of the band’s musical story, from the early carefree and democratic days of genre experimentation through to their halcyon period of hard-rocking R&B. The various subsequent reformations and reunions are also covered in detail, bringing the band’s story bang up-to-date in the 21st century. Ultimately, this detailed guide offers fans, old and new alike, a fully comprehensive look at the band’s musical legacy.

Iggy And The Stooges On Track Short

Iggy And The Stooges On Track Short

Robert Day-Webb

Sonicbond Publishing

Exploding onto the late 1960s scene, The Stooges were a band unlike any other before. A bunch of misfit Mid-Western delinquents, their charismatic frontman, Iggy Pop, was a performer extraordinaire. Confrontational and theatrical, this maniacal entertainer was originally joined by the Asheton brothers, Ron and Scott, and their pal, Dave Alexander. This original lineup delivered two albums of primal, brutal-sounding rock noise before the band fractured. A fortuitous crossing of paths with a certain David Bowie in 1971, however, led to a creative rebirth for Iggy and the band. With a new guitarist in place, James Williamson, and the Asheton brothers making up the rhythm section, the reconstituted group ended up delivering a third album of nihilistic ferocity. Once again though, the album bombed, leaving the band to limp on until 1974 before calling it a day - at least for nearly three decades. During their absence, the band's influential legacy blossomed, and in 2003, the original trio of Iggy, Ron and Scott reunited, once again performing under The Stooges banner. The band toured extensively, finally achieving the respect and adulation that had been lacking the first time around. A new album appeared in 2007 before Ron's passing in 2009. James Williamson subsequently returned to the fold, enabling the band to continue touring and recording before more sad news ensued in 2014 when Scott Asheton passed away, thus leading to the cessation of the band. The Stooges' music has influenced countless other bands, artists and genres, and this book examines the band's enduring musical legacy by taking a fully comprehensive look at all the group's officially recorded output in detail

FERAL HOUSE,U.S.

Cold Glitter: The Untold Story of Canadian Glam uncovers a forgotten yet fascinating chapter on glam rock music and culture...from Canada. Los Angeles-based multi-disciplinary artist Robert Dayton taps his Canadian roots to reveal mind-blowing stories of musicians fighting to be heard. It's a universal story of determined creators striving to make their voices heard. Dayton has spent years researching and interviewing these ground-breaking musicians trapped by geography, colonial mindsets, and the difficulties of penetrating the cultural behemoth that is the United States. There's no denying that glam rock was marginalized in Canada. In fact, RCA almost didn't release the 1973 Bowie-produced Lou Reed album "Transformer" in Canada because they didn't see a market for it. Of course, they were wrong Cold Glitter gets at the reasons why: nature vs. artifice, old world values vs. new freedoms, and how transgressive actions--including gender play, as well as intense stories from these top acts on how they were run out of town for appearing outrageous. Filled with stories from musicians about what they did to build a career and fight against the old guard controlling the airwaves and stages. Readers everywhere will find solidarity with the all-too-familiar story of artists who were attacked for appearing outrageous and daring to be different. Within the struggle to be fabulous are anecdotes of fun and mayhem. Readers will be taken back to the seventies as they meet the unknown and infamous musicians and artists who dared to be glamorous. Familiar names like magician Doug Henning, Vancouver band Sweeney Todd and their lead singer Nick Gilder, and his replacement, Bryan Adams, to underground heroes like The Dishes, to hundreds of musicians who put away their mascara and left their glamorous wild days behind.Cold Glitter is filled with rare (and sometimes outrageous) images throughout and additional chapters on glam fashion, film, and comedy in Canada. You'll be amazed to discover how many of their favorite artists were and are secretly Canadian.

The poetry in "How to Start a Revolution" is, simultaneously, personal and universal, technically created yet colloquially spoken. Brown's poems attend to the intimate needs of the reader, while maintaining an incredible depth of poetic integrity. Traditional forms such as the sonnet, haiku, and pantoum bloom among his most personal examples of free verse. The conversational language and the sensitivity to the reader's presence manifest themselves beautifully in this skillfully crafted, highly digestible first collection of poems.
