„Es war auf dem Summer Camp im nördlichem Wisconsin 1953, als ich Bobby Zimmerman aus Hibbing das erste Mal getroffen habe.Er war zwölf Jahr alt und er hatte eine Gitarre. Er ging überall und erzählte jedem, dass er ein Rock `n´ Roll-Star werden würde. Ich war elf und ich glaubte ihm.“So beginnen diese ehrlichen, witzigen und zutiefst liebevollen Memoiren über eine Freundschaft, die fünf Jahrzehnte voller wilder Abenteuer, Sinn suchenden Gesprächen, musikalischen Meilensteinen und bleibender Kameradschaft.Als Bobby Zimmerman zu Bob Dylan wurde und Louie Kemp ein erfolgreiches internationales Unternehmen aufbaute, klafften deren Lebensläufe zunächst auseinander, aber die Freundschaft der Beiden hielt fest.Ganz gleich, wie viel Zeit zwischen einem Abenteuer und dem nächsten vergangen war, nahmen die zwei „Jungs aus dem North Country“ sie egal wann und wo wieder auf und können auf gemeinsame Erlebnisse zurückschauen, die Dylan-Fans und jeden, der ausgelassen gute Rock `n´ Roll- Memoiren mag, überraschen und viel Vergnügen bereiten.Von dem Auftritt des kleinen Bobby auf einem Gebäudedach des Herzl Camp über die Entwicklungsjahre in Minnesota und sein Aufstieg zu globalem Starstatus, war Louie Kemp an seiner Seite – ein vertrauter Partner und Mitwisser, wie Bobby es geschafft hatte, seine Talente dazu zu verwenden, ohne Kompromisse dahingehen zu machen, wer er war.Louie produzierte Bobs bahnbrechende Rolling Thunder Revue – hier in fesselnder Genauigkeit beschrieben – und reiste mit ihm durch die exklusive Welt eines Rock Stars, verbrachte aber auch ruhige Momente und hatte ganz vertraute Erlebnisse.Als Louie heiratete, war Bob sein Trauzeuge, als Bob seinen jüdischen Glauben hinterfragte, brachte ihn Louie in die Gemeinde zurück. Und das ist nur ein kleiner Ausschnitt der bis dato noch nie erzählten und ganz persönlichen Geschichten.Haben Sie sich schon mal gefragt, wie es ist, das Passahfest gemeinsam mit Bob Dylan und Marlon Brando zu feiern? Oder auf eine Reise durch Mexiko mit Bob Dylan, Dennis Hopper und Harry Dean Stanton zu gehen? Oder in einer öffentlichen Essensschlacht mit Joan Baez verwickelt zu sein? Lesen Sie weiter.
A marauding monkey, a mysterious murder, middle-aged hula maidens, and mugs full of Mai Tai's. Just another day in Tiki Goddess Paradise . . . Crime-solving sleuth Em Johnson and her Uncle Louie, owner of the famous Tiki Goddess Bar on Kauai, head for the Cocktail Shake Off Competition in Honolulu. What is supposed to be a fun trip to a mixology contest turns weird when Louie's legendary "Booze Bible" is stolen, and Em's ex-husband winds up dead-with Em the number-one suspect. Sexy Kauai detective and part-time fire dancer Roland Sharpe rushes to Em's side along with the unpredictable Hula Maidens, whose detective skills are even more haphazard than their dance routine at the island tiki bars. Toss in an escaped monkey and a killer who wants to make this the last call for someone's honky-tonk, tiki-tossing night out, and it's going to be another wild escapade for Em and her Hula Maidens.
A jigger of tranquility is all Em Johnson wants, but now that her beloved Tiki Goddess Bar has been chosen as the location for Trouble in Paradise, TV’s hot new reality show, life is anything but tranquil. When a member of the camera crew is found dead in her kitchen—stabbed to death with Chef Kimo’s sashimi knife—the scene on the sleepy North Shore of Kauai goes from eccentrically crazy to downright dangerous. Suspects lurk behind every paper drink umbrella. It’s not enough that Chef Kimo is the number one suspect or that the life’s-a-party Hula Maidens nearly burn down the place while dancing the hula with flaming coconuts. Em still has to deal with her Uncle Louie’s wedding to The Black Widow—until his fianceé’s Mercedes plunges into the Pacific. Roland Sharpe, a handsome, Hawaiian, fire-dancing detective, warns the locals not to interfere, but Em and the madcap Maidens can’t help themselves and soon wind up knee deep in danger again. Can the irrepressible troupe solve three murders before the champagne goes flat?
Every action has a reaction. Every reaction has a consequence. Every consequence creates a memory. Having overcome the impossibility of time travel, Kenneth Ramsayer and his best friend exist to relive past rock ’n’ roll gigs. Everything is going well; they’ve become heroes, they’ve discovered love, they had the world by the tail, and then they ruined everything. Based on what is left of their ruined music collections, it appears that rock ’n’ roll died in 1984. Their unassailable knowledge of music, leads the boys to recall that in 1984 an unknown patron made a bootleg recording of a Replacements gig. This cassette was recovered and became the live album “The Shit Hits The Fans”. The history of rock ‘n’ roll was forever changed. Now in a viciously evil plot, a thief has absconded with the recording. But what if the death of rock ’n’ roll isn’t connected to the missing cassette? Seeking help from unlikely sources and following fading memories, the boys travel across America in a bid to save rock ’n’ roll. An intelligent satire, the second novel in the Death of Rock ’n’ Roll series, “And Then They Ruined Everything” cleverly uses the concept of time travel in a rock ’n’ roll setting as an examination of choices and the power of art in society.

Companion Novel (All rights available): The Cutter's Widow Survival takes many forms . . . but never the one you expect. Born on the first day of 1900, Dorie finds herself at odds with the world and out of options. When she marries Louie LaValle, a local man with an inherited farm, but not the talent or stamina to run it, Dorie is anchored in poverty, childless and tied to someone she doesn't love. Prohibition and desperation inspire Dorie to make and sell moonshine to the men in town; soon she makes more money than she ever dreamt possible. To expand production, she enlists freewheeling Victor, who builds a secret distillery in the woods. When Victor appears at her door with a gunshot wound, describing an ambush at the still, it's up to Dorie to protect her future—and Victor—against angry neighbors, a zealous sheriff and the Chicago mob. More on Dore LaValle from the author can be found here. Mary DesJarlais was awarded a Minnesota State Arts Board grant to write Dorie LaValle.

After each major corporate scandal, new suggestions for combatting fraud emerge from regulators and industry professionals. Despite changes to guidelines for firms’ corporate governance, augmented protection for whistle blowers, and enhanced cybersecurity measures, evidence documents an alarming increase in the prevalence and severity of corporate fraud. The rapidly changing laws aimed at curbing corporate fraud sometimes lag behind the changing sophistication of fraud schemes.

It examines fraud’s consequences for various firm stakeholders and its spillover effects to other corporations, the political environment, and financial market participants, including those who participate via crowdfunding platforms. This book provides a fresh look at this intriguing but often complex subject. It skillfully blends the contributions of a global array of scholars and practitioners into a single review of some of the most important topics in this area. Given its broad scope, this practical and comprehensive title should be of interest to anyone curious about corporate fraud.

The topics range from sex life, to Science, AI, to education, financial accounts and debts, the ability to express oneself freely, to Globalists & Technocracts,to redemption. Were you aware of House Bill 4919 and its provisions for using human implanted technology to track and surveille certain Citizens of the USA? And are you worried about it because you've heard it is The Mark of the Beast? Did you know that due to the ACA Laws, better known as Obamacare, many are already "Altered" individuals? Are you familiar with what Daniel 2 & 7 in the Bible speak about the Fourth Kingdom and do you know that it may mean we have been living during that period and are about to enter THE MILLENNIUM? THIS IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY! IT IS URGENT YOU KNOW HOW THIS MIGHT AFFECT YOU AND THOSE YOU CARE ABOUT! Do you think everyone with a microchip is going to hell no matter where it is lodged? This book contains important information for you to consider. In reference to this topic, read what the Bible actually says at Revelation 13: 13 - 17. So, if “he causeth all†to receive the mark, on their right hand or in their foreheads, and not all are damned, because some have the victory over the mark as evidenced in Revelation 15:2-3, KJV It follows that it is not the mark itself that damns. It is the receiving or acceptance of the mark, the worshipping of the beast and/or his image that does it! Read what Jesus said in Mark 12: 30 and DO NOT WORSHIP THE BEAST! There is hope! For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10: 9 - 13, KJV)
WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO SAVE TY? This is the question that haunts Claire and Shep Durant in the wake of their four-year-old’s disappearance. Until this moment, Port Blair’s British surgeon and his young wife, a promising anthropologist, have led a charmed life in the colonial backwaters of India’s Andaman Islands—thanks in part to Naila, a local girl who shares their mysteriously mute son’s silent language. But with the war closing in and mandatory evacuation underway, the Durants don’t realize until too late that Naila and Ty have vanished. While Claire sails for Calcutta, Shep stays to search for the children. Days later, the Japanese invade the Andamans, cutting off all communication. Fueled by guilt and anguish, Claire uses her unique knowledge of the islands’ tribes to make herself indispensable to an all-male reconnaissance team headed back behind enemy lines. Her secret plan: rescue Shep and Ty. Through the brutal odyssey that follows, she’ll discover truths about sacrifice that both shatter and transcend her understanding of devotion.
What does it mean to be queer in a Confucian society in which kinship roles, ties, and ideologies are of such great importance? This book makes sense of queer cultures in China—a country with one of the largest queer populations in the world—and offers an alternative to Euro-American blueprints of queer individual identity. This book contends that kinship relations must be understood as central to any expression of queer selfhood and culture in contemporary cultural production in China. Using a critical approach—“queering Chinese kinship”—Lin Song scrutinizes the relationship between queerness and family relations, and questions Eurocentric queer culture’s frequent assumption of the separation of queerness from blood family. Offering five case studies of queer representations across a range of media genres, this book also challenges the tendency in current scholarship on Chinese and East Asian queerness to understand queer cultures as predominantly counter-mainstream, marginal, and underground. Shedding light on the representations of queerness and kinship in independent and subcultural as well as commercial and popular cultural products, the book presents a more comprehensive picture of queerness and kinship in flux and highlights queer politics as an integral part of contemporary Chinese public culture.
