Summary

The Suppliants, also known as The Suppliant Maidens, The Suppliant Women, or Supplices, is a play written by Aeschylus, considered as the "Father of Tragedy." E. D. A. Morshead has translated this narrative. The Danaids form a chorus and play the protagonist in this narrative. They were compelled to marry their Egyptian relatives. The Danaids implored King Pelasgus to protect them when they arrived in Argos from Egypt. He refused to wait for the Argives' choices, which favored the Danaids. The Danaus was overjoyed with the outcome, and the Danaids worshiped the Greek gods. The Danaids are compelled to go back to their relatives for marriage as soon as an Egyptian news anchor shows up. Pelasgus appears, threatens the herald, and pushes the Danaids to remain within Argos' gates.

    From Triumph superstar Rik Emmett comes the thrilling, inspiring story of a life of rock and roll
    		 
    While describing the impulse driving his life and work, Rik Emmett explains, “I was never in it for the sex and drugs — ah, but the rock and roll. Creativity was, and still is, my it — the truth I bet my life on. It was also, always, about play. The play’s the thing …”
    		 
    Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist’s mindset, Lay It On The Line offers insight and perspective into the many roles Rik Emmett took on. “It” was always a parboiling, psychological gumbo: and this book attempts to finally share the recipe.
    		 
    It also includes photos from Emmett’s own archives, plus the definitive, detailed reasons behind why he walked from Triumph — and came back two decades later.
    		 
    Rock star, it seems, was a character for Rik Emmett to inhabit … a great gig, a catalytic door-opener … it was a role that led to other adventures — and these are the stories he’s chosen to tell.

    Hollywood and MAGA don’t get along. There are plenty of right wingers who won’t even touch this book because "Hollywood" is on the cover. Meanwhile, there are plenty of snowflake leftists who are fighting back tears because they assume this book is propaganda from “orange Thanos” to take over Tinseltown. And then there’s you, the American. Conservative or liberal, you realize that Hollywood and MAGA are at war with each other and that it’s a battle worth examining. Make Hollywood Great Again navigates through 2017 – 2020’s theatrical releases examining journalism, conspiracy and the media, as well as a bevy of other topics. Filmmakers have addressed their undesired tenet in the White House through a variety of stories, mostly non-fiction. The book privileges The Post, Blackkklansman, The Front Runner, Dark Waters, Richard Jewell, and The Hunt among others.
