1000 tulosta hakusanalla Andy Farrell
Andy Griffith (1926-2012) is one of North Carolina's most beloved exports, capturing America's heart as Sheriff Andy Taylor. Evan Dalton Smith was born in the North Carolina Piedmont over four decades after Andy, just an hour south of Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy. Both were small-town boys who grew up in similar places, where the counties were dry and the churches plentiful. But for both, there was darkness, crushed hopes, and tragedy, hidden just below the surface.For Smith and many generations in North Carolina, Andy Griffith was like the air—everywhere, all the time, a part of daily life. Even after he left the state, Smith always felt the pull of home and the lingering ghost of Andy alongside it. This is an exploration on celebrity and the self, on home and what that means when you leave it, and why we love and admire the people we do—even if we've never met them—all told through the entwined lives of iconic actor Andy Griffith and writer Evan Dalton Smith. It is through Smith's telling of Griffith's life that he finds his own story, one that is both informed by and freed from the legacy of one of North Carolina's most famous sons.

Mary Shaw feels stuck as a copy aide when what she really wants to be is a journalist. A job opportunity with Andy "Christ" Christianson presents itself, and she believes it could be the perfect opportunity to progress her career-and quickly. Since Andy is famous for his PR gimmicks, Mary isn't expecting to connect with him on such a deep level, but with matching idealism, empathy, sensitivity, and desire for someone to share their feelings with, their attraction is palpable. It is not until Mary is able to get past her fear of the inevitable reactions of her mother church, however, that their relationship becomes a budding romance. Andy Christianson is an atheist battling the powers that be to find solutions that benefit the greatest number of people. A proponent of "Truth to Power," a personal empowerment for the betterment of all, he ironically sees the value in religion, particularly when it comes to political reform. And his chemistry with Mary is too much to say "no" to, especially when it can do two people A LOT of good. Embarking on a zany journey through a world full of self-empowerment, religious dogma, and inept politicians, Andy and Mary must confront their own truths as they are forced to decide if their budding romance and Andy's organization for change can survive. Discussing religious conflicts in four distinct sections and across multiple social levels, Chris Lyons's debut is a hilarious, eye-opening look at the Truth to Power concept and the modern applicability of utilitarianism. Examining such concepts as empowerment, justice, cooperative intelligence versus competitive faith, memetics, false and true religion, and Christian conservatism with a comedic flair and irreverent panache, Mary and the Andy Christ is a laugh-out-loud meditation on the state of humanity and our need to advance in a direction of mutual beneficence.

The Trip: Andy Warhol's Plastic Fantastic Cross-Country Adventure

From the author of Strapless and Guest of Honor, a "jaunty romp through American pop-art history" (The Washington Post) about a little-known road trip Andy Warhol took in 1963, and how that journey profoundly influenced his life and art. In 1963, up-and-coming artist Andy Warhol, along with a colorful group of friends, drove across America. What began as a madcap, drug-fueled romp became a journey that took Warhol on a kaleidoscopic adventure from New York City, across the vast American heartland, all the way to Hollywood, and back. With locations ranging from a Texas panhandle truck stop to a Beverly Hills mansion, from the beaches of Santa Monica to a photo booth in Albuquerque, The Trip captures how Warhol intersected with Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Marcel Duchamp, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and other bold-faced names of the time. Along the way, Warhol also met rednecks, beach bums, underground filmmakers, artists, poets, socialites, and newly minted hippies--all of them leaving an indelible mark on his psyche. In The Trip, Andy Warhol's speeding Ford Falcon is our time machine, transporting us from the last vestiges of the sleepy Eisenhower epoch to the true beginning of the explosive, exciting sixties. Through in-depth, original research, Deborah Davis sheds new light on one of the most enduring figures in the art world and captures a fascinating moment in 1960s America--with Warhol at its center.

The Williams Family and Andy Cat: When the loss of a pet really, really hurts

This story, in rhyme, is about two very special, quirky, and loving felines, Andy and Spooky, who found their way to the Williams house years ago. Each was a stray that just showed up. The question of where they came from or who they belonged to, initially, was never answered. Andy came first and found himself having to share the house with a number of other cat friends and a surfeit of animals that lived in the Williams menagerie. When Spooky came on the scene it took several years for him to trust the Williams family, until he started shadowing Andy cat everywhere, and saw that Andy liked the Williams'. The day Spooky followed Andy right into the house, we knew he had been initiated into our family. Sometimes it was difficult to allow the five felines that lived with us to roam freely through the neighborhood and down the back hill to the creek where all kinds of raccoons, foxes, and birds of prey journeyed. But this is the autonomy that cats require, as they are free spirits to their core and seek adventure in everything they do. There were few incidents that made us worry about the hours that the cats were out exploring, until the evening Spooky disappeared (forever), and then Andy cat three weeks later. Untold hours of walking, driving, and searching desperately finally yielded only a few clues as to the disappearance of these precious cats. A coyote in the area was the suspected culprit. Searching is one thing. Reconciling the facts is another. Remembering is forever. All animals are special in their own right, but those that become our pets are rarely forgotten. And those that make their way into the center of our hearts leave a terrible void when they cross the rainbow bridge. Andy cat was such a guy. To think of Andy cat is a mix of painful longing to hold and kiss him, and also a joy in knowing that we were lucky enough to of had him in our lives.
Andy is a perfectly ordinary tabby cat. Like many cats, he has his own Facebook page. He loves sunbeams and snuggles. But Andy has a problem. He's addicted to catnip. When he admitted this problem online, something remarkable happened. People in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction flocked to his Facebook page, seeing themselves in Andy's struggle. What began as gentle humor became something much more, probably because Andy's human, Lori Magoon, MLADC, LCMHC, is a master's-level licensed alcohol and drug counselor. Just Ask Andy follows Andy's journey from catnip abuse to clarity, after which the now sober kitty answers many questions Magoon fielded on her radio show. Recovering addicts often feel alone, as do their loved ones. Andy's honest answers about addiction and its effects are a reminder that others are going through the exact same battle-and succeeding. Families can also use Andy's story to explain addiction to children, to help them gain a clearer understanding of the process. Just ask Andy. He made it through the darkness and back to sobriety. So can you.
