  God Gave Rock and Roll to You -...

  Few things frightened conservative white Protestant parents of the 1950s and the 1960s more than thought of their children falling prey to the "menace to Christendom" known as rock and roll. The raucous sounds of Elvis Presley and Little Richard seemed tailor-made to destroy the faith of their young and, in the process, undermine the moral foundations of the United States. Parents and pastors launched a crusade against rock music, but they were fighting an uphill battle. 
   
   
   
  Salvation came in a most unlikely form. When a revival swept through counterculture hippie communities of the West Coast in the 1960s and 1970s a new alternative emerged. Known as the Jesus Movement—and its members, more colloquially, as "Jesus freaks"—the revival was short-lived. But by combining the rock and folk music of the counterculture with religious ideas and aims of conservative white evangelicals, Jesus freaks and evangelical media moguls gave birth to an entire genre known as Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). 
   
    
   
  In this book, Leah Payne traces the history and trajectory of CCM in America and, in the process, demonstrates how the industry, its artists, and its fans shaped—and continue to shape—conservative, (mostly) white, evangelical Protestantism.

  HER 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY SPIKE JONZE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Her is a 2013 science fiction romantic drama directed by Spike Jonze. Set in a near-future Los Angeles, the film follows Theodore Twombly, a lonely, introverted man who develops an unlikely romantic relationship with Samantha, an advanced artificial intelligence operating system voiced by Scarlett Johansson. As their connection deepens, Theodore grapples with his emotions, loneliness, and the nature of love in an increasingly digital world. The film explores themes of intimacy, identity, and the boundaries between human connection and technology, offering a thought-provoking look at the complexities of modern relationships in a tech-driven society. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Spike Jonze, stuck in the editing process with an early 150-minute cut, asked Steven Soderbergh to edit it down. Soderbergh returned within 24 hours with a 90-minute cut, which helped Jonze finalize the film’s 126-minute runtime.” 
    
  “Director Spike Jonze loved his role as Alien Child so much that he would often give notes to his editor and producer while staying in character.” 
    
  “This is the only film written and directed by Spike Jonze, entirely based on his original script.” 
    
  “Charlie Kaufman contributed some uncredited screenwriting to the film.” 
    
  “The airplane sculpture featured in a square outside the Pacific Design Center was entirely created using CGI. There is no such sculpture at the actual location in West Hollywood.”
