The Heartbreaker Behind the Guitar - The Story of Mike Campbell

Elsie Lindsey

Sinopse

What if a single guitar could change the course of a life?  
 
Mike Campbell wasn’t born into fame. He was a kid from Jacksonville, raised by a single mother, scraping by, and searching for something bigger than survival. When she handed him a $15 pawn shop guitar, she unknowingly set him on a path that would lead to rock and roll history.  
 
From a dusty Florida farmhouse to sold-out stadiums, this is the untold story of one of rock’s greatest guitarists. 
 
This book takes you behind the music, beyond the spotlight, and deep into the moments that shaped Mike Campbell's legendary career. From the fateful meeting with Tom Petty in Gainesville to the rise of the Heartbreakers, from writing iconic hits with Don Henley and Stevie Nicks to navigating the crushing loss of his closest friend—this is more than a rock memoir. It’s a story of passion, persistence, and the kind of music that changes lives.  
 
What happens when the dream becomes reality? And what do you do when it all comes crashing down?  
 
For fans of classic rock, songwriting, and the raw truth behind the industry, this book is an emotional, electrifying ride. Through triumph and tragedy, through riffs and heartbreak, Mike Campbell’s journey is proof that music isn’t just a career—it’s a calling.

Fleetwood Mac's Tusk

Rob Trucks

After Rumours became the best-selling single album of all-time, Fleetwood Mac asked Warner Brothers Records to buy them a studio (the label refused, costing both Warner Brothers and the band significant cash in the long run) and then handed the reins to their guitarist and resident perfectionist Lindsey Buckingham. “You know,” Buckingham said, “we had this ridiculous success with Rumours. We were poised to do another album, and I guess because the axiom ‘If it works, run it into the ground’ was prevalent then, we were probably poised to do Rumours II. I don’t know how you do that, but somehow my light bulb that went off was, ‘Let’s just not do that. Let’s very pointedly not do that.’ ”Here, Rob Trucks talks to Lindsey Buckingham, as well as members of Animal Collective, Camper Van Beethoven, the New Pornographers, Wolf Parade, and the USC Trojan marching band in order to chart both the story and the impact of an album born of personal obsession and a stubborn unwillingness to compromise.

Curationism - How Curating Took...

David Balzer

Now that we 'curate' even lunch, what happens to the role of the connoisseur in contemporary culture?

‘Curate’ is now a buzzword, applied to everything from music festivals to artisanal cheese. Inside the art world, the curator reigns supreme, acting as the face of high-profile group shows and biennials in a way that can eclipse and assimilate the contributions of individual artists. Curatorial-studies programs continue to grow, and the business world is adopting curation as a means of adding value to content. Everyone, it seems, is a curator.

But what is a curator, exactly? And what does the explosive popularity of curating say about our culture’s relationship with taste, labour and the avant-garde? In this vibrant, revelatory and original study, David Balzer travels through art history and around the globe to explore the cult of curation, from superstar curator Hans Ulrich Obrist’s war with sleep to Subway’s ‘sandwich artists.’ Recalling such landmark works of cultural criticism as Tom Wolfe’s The Painted Word and John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, Curationism will change the way you look at art – and maybe even the way you see yourself.

‘This is an unusual art book. It is a book you should read and one that you can. Balzer traces the history and current hegemony of curationism, a practice of jumped-up interior decorators who double as priests explaining the gospel to the unlettered masses. A good read, if you don’t mind reading things that you don’t want to know.’

The Rolling Stones Discover...

Michael Lydon

A founding editor of Rolling Stone and acclaimed journalist gives a backstage pass to the most important band in rock’n’roll history during the height of their fame.In 1969 Michael Lydon, a founding editor of Rolling Stone and a leading member of rock writing's first generation, got a dream assignment: to cover the Rolling Stones' hopscotch tour across America that ended at Altamont. His long, intimate piece on the tour, The Rolling Stones Discover America, captures the highs and lows of the grueling tour and has become a classic of rock 'n' roll journalism -- one that the Maysles brothers studied to guide the editing of their film, Gimme Shelter.Nobody used the term "embedded reporter" in those days, but that's how Lydon lived on the tour, staying in the Stones' HQ house above LA's Sunset Strip and in suites at New York's Plaza Hotel, flying in private jets to Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston, gambling in Las Vegas, hanging out backstage at the LA Forum and Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, smoking pot with "The Boys" in late-night bull sessions, and night after night digging the overpowering, sensuous, and beautiful music. "This was the peak of my rock 'n' roll reporting career," Lydon has said. "I knew I was where every hippie in America wanted to be, and I jumped into the tour with my eyes and ears wide open, a big grin on my mug."In The Rolling Stones Discover America, Lydon also describes his own nervousness living so close to stardom. "The Stones were good guys and hard-working musicians," he says, "but they were the sun kings of the tour universe. The rest of us were minor planets spinning about them in fixed and distant orbits. It's a miracle I managed to keep my feet on the ground, keep taking notes, and get the story down on paper -- but I'm glad I did."
