When Death Is NOT Theoretical: The Readiness of the Music Group ?Queen? for Living with Freddie Mercury's Dying

When Death Is NOT Theoretical: The Readiness of the Music Group ?Queen? for Living with Freddie Mercury's Dying

"Baby boomers" dealing with death - especially death "definitely on the calendar" - feel free to choose from an array of "hymns" beyond "Amazing Grace," and have been tending to look especially to one music group - "Queen" - as a source of funeral songs. The focus of "When Death Is NOT Theoretical ...," including theological overtones, is on three aspects: (1) the apparently seven-year period, from mid 1984 to late 1991, when Freddie Mercury (1946-1991), the extraordinarily talented frontman of the versatile music group "Queen," actively dealt with dying while performing, (2) the thirteen-year period before that when Queen already handled the double theme of "facing death head-on" and of "affirming life while fully aware of death", plus (3) the effect of this very public dying and this persistent, quiet awareness of death both on Mercury's bandmates and on the group's "baby boomer" fans as they became faced with death. Most considerations of Queen and its musical catalogue have been by journalists, but Dr. Powell approaches these questions as an historian and clinician, analyzing fifty-some songs and mobilizing extensive amounts of data to support his conclusions. Endnotes suggest answers to several additional long-puzzling questions about Queen and the music group's work - such as, where did Mercury get his name? and where did Queen get the title "Seven Seas of Rhye"?

"Insofar as Frederic W. H. Myers' conceptions of paranoia ... were spread by the ... 'American Institute for Scientific Research' (1904-1934), they probably did more to help than to hinder American acceptance of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Certainly, the alternative, primarily neuroanatomic, explanations were less elegant, less comprehensive, and not necessarily more scientific."Similarly, "Insofar as ... Myers' conceptions of the 'subliminal' were spread by the ... 'Emmanuel movement' for medically supervised religious psychotherapy (fl.1906-1910), the movement probably did more to help than to hinder American acceptance of Freudian ideas. Certainly, many academic psychologists' conceptions of the 'unconscious' and 'subconscious' were a hindrance."William James (1842-1910) dated the dawn of modern psychology to 1886, the year of the discovery that "there is not only the consciousness of the ordinary field, ... but an addition thereto in the shape of a set of memories, thoughts, and feelings which are extra-marginal". A sizeable historical literature argues about to what author and to what article James referred - and many in the psychical research community appear to have accepted Dr. Powell's well-researched conclusions on this issue.One reviewer called Dr. Powell's work "uniquely interesting" and noted that "Inasmuch as this topic has been neglected in the standard histories of science, Powell's ... research] fills a gap".

Pentoxifylline: A Versatile Off-Patent Medication Best Not Overlooked

Pentoxifylline: A Versatile Off-Patent Medication Best Not Overlooked

Pentoxifylline once was labeled as a treatment for "leg cramps" - "intermittent claudication". That original view has become almost irrelevant. The anti-inflammatory, immune modulating, and steroid-sparing effects of "pentox" stretch far beyond its vascular effects. Pentox is now known to treat - "off label" - kidney, liver, heart, & lung disorders - bone, joint, brain, & pain disorders - fibrotic, skin, & radiation-induced disorders - blood cell, pancreatic, & intestinal disorders - muscle, cancerous, & infectious disorders. Off-label use of pentox is both widespread and growing - with most of the uses relating to enhancement of blood flow or to reduction of inflammation. This monograph coherently assembles over 300 abstracts of the recent medical literature.

Iron Deficiency (especially in men), Pyridoxine (B-6) Deficiency, Zinc Deficiency, Severe Vitamin D Deficiency, Definite Hypercalcemia, Definite Magnesium Deficiency, Cobalamin (B-12) Deficiency Definite Hypocalcemia - all of these can present as self-diagnosed "anxiety," "depression," and "irritability". This investigation began by accident. Initially Dr. Powell was just collecting 'teaching cases' for use with medical students - cases of non-psychiatric illness masquerading as psychiatric illness. It turned out that 1 out of every 3 new patients seen had a hitherto undiagnosed non-psychiatric illness. Cases of cancer and endocrine disorder were part of the mix, but vitamin and mineral abnormalities were by far the most notable.The focus of this study is on demonstrating that frequently the initial clinical history along with the past lab values are sufficient to suggest probable non-neuropsychiatric conditions, which then can be confirmed by judiciously chosen lab tests.175 annotated references are included.

The "Emmanuel Movement" for medically-supervised religious psychotherapy was an outgrowth, between 1906 and 1929, of a clinic founded by the Rev. Dr. Elwood Worcester (1862-1940), with the assistance of the Rev. Dr. Samuel McComb (1864-1938), at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Boston.

2nd ed -- with an Addendum & now an Index -- 40% longer than 1st ed. "Baby boomers" dealing with death - especially death "definitely on the calendar" - feel free to choose from an array of "hymns" beyond "Amazing Grace," and have been tending to look especially to one music group - "Queen" - as a source of funeral songs. The focus of this book -- including theological overtones -- is on three aspects: (1) the apparently seven-year period, from mid 1984 to late 1991, when Freddie Mercury (1946-1991), the extraordinarily talented frontman of the versatile music group "Queen," actively dealt with dying while performing, (2) the thirteen-year period before that when Queen already handled the double theme of "facing death head-on" and of "affirming life while fully aware of death," plus (3) the effect of this very public dying and this persistent, quiet awareness of death both on Mercury's bandmates and on the group's "baby boomer" fans as they became faced with death. Most considerations of Queen and its musical catalogue have been by journalists, but Dr. Powell approaches these questions as an historian and clinician, analyzing fifty-some songs and mobilizing extensive amounts of data to support his conclusions. Endnotes suggest answers to several long-puzzling questions about Queen and the music group's work - for example, the probable Zarathustrian origin of Freddie Mercury's name, the probable role of irony and sarcasm in Queen's music, and the probable origins of the title to their first real hit, "The Seven Seas of Rhye." Addendum endnotes suggest answers to several other long-puzzling questions -- such as the probable actual impact of Queen's anti-suicide messages, the Zarathustrian aspects of "Who Wants to Live Forever?" plus the probable reason why "Mad the Swine" appeared 20 years after written.

The Ballad of Robert Charles

The Ballad of Robert Charles

sidottu
For a brief moment in the summer of 1900, Robert Charles was arguably the most infamous black man in the United States. After an altercation with police on a New Orleans street, Charles killed two police officers and fled. During a manhunt that extended for days, violent white mobs roamed the city, assaulting African Americans and killing at least half a dozen. When authorities located Charles, he held off a crowd of thousands for hours before being shot to death. The notorious episode was reported nationwide; years later, fabled jazz pianist Jelly Roll Morton recalled memorializing Charles in song. Yet today, Charles is almost entirely invisible in the traditional historical record. So who was Robert Charles, really? An outlaw? A black freedom fighter? And how can we reconstruct his story? In this fascinating work, K. Stephen Prince sheds fresh light on both the history of the Robert Charles riots and the practice of history-writing itself. He reveals evidence of intentional erasures, both in the ways the riot and its aftermath were chronicled and in the ways stories were silenced or purposefully obscured. But Prince also excavates long-hidden facts from the narratives passed down by white and black New Orleanians over more than a century. In so doing, he probes the possibilities and limitations of the historical imagination.
