Following his 2016 smash hit Anatomy of a Song, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "a first-rate playlist.A rich history of both the music industry and the baby boomer era," acclaimed music journalist Marc Myers collects fifty-five new oral histories of iconic songs based on his popular Wall Street Journal column in ANATOMY OF 55 MORE SONGS: The Oral History of Top Hits that Changed Rock, R&B, and Soul (Grove Press; Pub Date: December 6, 2022; $27 hardcover; ISBN-13: 978-0-8021-6020-1).

Songs that sell the most copies become hits, but some of those hits become something more-iconic recordings that not only inspire a generation but also change the direction of music. In ANATOMY OF 55 MORE SONGS, music journalist and historian Marc Myers tells the story behind fifty-five rock, pop, R&B, country, and soul-gospel hits through intimate interviews with the artists who wrote and recorded them.

Part oral history, part musical analysis, ANATOMY OF 55 MORE SONGS ranges from Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" to Dionne Warwick's "Walk On By," The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid." Bernie Taupin recalls how he wrote the lyrics to Elton John's "Rocket Man;" Joan Jett remembers channeling her rage against how she had been unfairly labeled and treated as a female rocker into "Bad Reputation;" and Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Costello, Bob Weir, Sheryl Crow, Alice Cooper, Roberta Flack, John Mellencamp, Keith Richards, Carly Simon, and many others reveal the emotions and technique behind their major works.

Through an absorbing chronological, song-by-song analysis of the most memorable post-war hits, ANATOMY OF 55 MORE SONGS provides a sweeping look at the evolution of pop music between 1964 and today. This book will change how you listen to music and evaluate the artists who create it.

Back in summer 2020, Giancarlo Granda, the former Fountainebleau Miami Beach pool boy at the center of a years-long sex scandal involving evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr. and Falwell's wife, Becki, contacted Miami filmmakers Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman to see if they'd be interested in telling his side of the story.

"We thought it was a compelling opportunity to not only examine the hypocrisy of his illicit affair with the first family of evangelicalism, but some of the even greater macro issues," Corben tells New Times. "Specifically, the rise of the Falwell's dynasty, their outsized influence on presidential politics, and how religious hucksters went from televangelism to higher education to the White House."

A student spoke openly about his struggles with trying to get out of his past.  He drives for a major delivery company and in those moments of travel his  inner thoughts are taken over by a past he can't escape.  A second student chimed in allowing us to embrace her entanglements with thoughts that should've faded years ago. My daily writing is the outlet, the outsource and outtake of what's being taken in and taken on.  The students are creative.  That means they're feeling the rough rugged path of the universe.  The top priority is to stop judging books by their covers. Spend more time listening.  Creativity is the gift.  But it comes with a price.  Walking through life without an understanding of what you feel is a war that gets worse with time.  Learn to pick up the tiniest of breadcrumbs to one day be used to make toast.   

This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward Episode 527 With Dale George Lytle From The Group Angeles.

The groups new release is The Band Played On

Based on the NY Times Bestselling book One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus, the first season is the story of what happens when five high schoolers walk into detention and only four make it out alive. Everyone is a suspect, and everyone has something to hide. Following the heart-pounding conclusion of Season One, the Bayview Four have a very deadly secret. In Season Two we'll see just how far they'll go to protect their secret, themselves, and each other.

On its surface, One of Us is Lying is a murder mystery, but at its heart, this is a character drama about teenagers growing up and finding their way to live more authentic, honest lives. In the first season, layers were peeled back on your typical high school archetypes and revealed the real, complex kids fighting to break free of these clichés. Our heroes stood up to their controlling parents, came out of the closet, left toxic relationships, dealt with the stresses of college applications… and, yes, solved a murder.In Season Two, we continue this surprising emotional journey as our kids reckon with the thrill and fear of showing the world who they really are… while hiding a deadly secret and being tortured by the mysterious Simon Says, plus a ton of juicy, soapy fun throughout.

Dossé-Via Trenou is a West African astrologer who has been studying astrology since she was 10 years old. Her new book, SIGNS & SKYMATES shows you how to get to know yourself, your partner(s), and your friendships through the full constellation of your astrological self! She uses her signature whole-chart approach to reveal how your Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars signs contribute to astrological compatibility—and serve as the basis for romantic and platonic relationships, as well as your all-important relationship with yourself. 

Filled with vibrant, eye-catching illustrations from Neka King, SIGNS & SKYMATES will help the budding astrologer in you discover the joys, challenges, and opportunities in your relationships as you deepen your knowledge of Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

I'm amazed by the number of people who endlessly locate things to complain about. The time required to regain total control has already stained the image of possible outcomes.  Complainers shoot themselves in the foot.  The very foot they keep putting in their mouth.  I asked a family member to stop with her ideas of the world being against her.  It's not good for anyone's ambition.  Walking into every conversation expecting an ambush isn't healthy.  The daily goal should be to find peace by living life forward.
