The Doors' Fire

Dyva Gibbs

Beschreibung

Before "Light My Fire" ignited the world, The Doors were just a flicker in the Los Angeles twilight. "The Doors' Fire" plunges you into the pre-fame years of these iconic musicians, tracing their journey from dimly lit jazz clubs to sun-drenched Venice Beach jams.Witness Jim Morrison's raw poetry ignite on smoky stages, Ray Manzarek's keyboards weave hypnotic spells, John Densmore's drums pound out a restless heartbeat, and Robby Krieger's guitar strings whisper secrets of rebellion. Feel the friction as their musical visions clash and coalesce, the electrifying tension as they test the boundaries of rock and roll.But the road to stardom is paved with dusty garage rehearsals, clashing egos, and the intoxicating haze of Sunset Strip. This is a story of chasing dreams in sun-kissed California, of late-night poetry readings in smoky jazz bars, and of first love's flickering flames against the backdrop of a burgeoning counterculture.Witness their struggles and triumphs, their creative clashes and shared epiphanies. See the birth of iconic riffs and the evolution of lyrics that would become etched in rock history.This is not just the story of The Doors; it's a portrait of a band on the precipice of greatness, before they painted the world with the searing light of their fire.

King Cal

Peter McDade

In the course of one ordinary day, Atlanta fast food worker Calvin loses his girlfriend, his band and his best friend. Suddenly, everything he had planned to spend the rest of his life doing seems to have flown away.
Told with insight, sensitivity and deep respect for what it takes to make a life in music, King Cal is a coming-of-age novel about a determined young man who starts with little, aims to earn a little more and has to decide whether success, or even clinging to his dream, is worth the sacrifice.
“King Cal is a glorious and gripping story of the early days of a musician's life: that uncertain, chaotic time when a young dreamer begins to transform into an artist. I have never read a more accurate or emotionally affecting portrayal of that transformation. Warmth, humor, sadness, grime, joy, feeling broken, being broke — they’re all in the mix.
Having lived through my own musical coming-of-age, I’m often dismayed by just how wrong most music-themed books get it. Not King Cal. This is one of the few novels about music that has felt utterly real to me. As the book wound its way to a deeply moving end, I was both desperately hoping that it would all work out for Calvin and at the same time thanking Pete McDade for getting it so right.”
—Dan Wilson, singer (Semisonic), songwriter ("Closing Time," "Not Ready to Make Nice," "Someone Like You"), Grammy-winner
"When I am asked by parents of kids who are considering a life in popular music if I would recommend that path, I say that if their child can even imagine doing anything else with their life, they should do that. But if the kid can't conceive of any future but music, I urge them to offer encouragement. Now I can just tell them to read this book."
—Elliot Easton, lead guitarist for the Cars and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Thomas Henry Lyon - Architect...

Michael Yelton

Thomas Henry Lyon (1869–1953) was an important architect whose work has often been ignored, because he did not take up the Modernist ideas of many of his contemporaries. His work was also almost entirely concentrated in either Cambridge or the edge of Dartmoor. His contribution to the inter-War development of the Colleges of Cambridge was immense and often overlooked: this book seeks to restore his reputation.

 
The book restores to public consciousness the extensive architectural work carried out by Lyon, particularly in Cambridge, and does not gloss over the disaster of a church in Wembley which had to be closed after less than 30 years. It also looks at the important work he carried out in South Australia in the pre-1914 age, as well as his masterly reconstruction and furnishing of Sidney Sussex College chapel, which established his reputation. It has been extensively researched in archives across England, but particularly in those of the Colleges of Cambridge.
