  This Must Be the Place explores how music can make cities better. 
   
   
   
  This Must Be the Place introduces and examines music's relationship to cities. Not the influence cities have on music, but the powerful impact music can have on how cities are developed, built, managed, and governed. 
   
   
   
  Told in an accessible way through personal stories from cities around the world—including London, Melbourne, Nashville, Austin, and Zurich—This Must Be the Place takes a truly global perspective on the ways music is integral to everyday life but neglected in public policy. 
   
   
   
  Arguing for the transformative role of artists and musicians in a post-pandemic world, This Must Be The Place not only examines the powerful impact music can have on our cities, but also serves as a how-to guide and toolkit for music-lovers, artists, and activists everywhere to begin the process of reinventing the communities they live in.

  Rodney Dangerfield's fidgety delivery, self-deprecating humor, and catchphrase, "I don't get no respect," made him a comedy icon in nightclubs, on television, and in movies. But Rodney's long road to stardom was as rocky as his real life. That's when he decided to give comedy one last shot . . . 
   
   
   
  Back in the clubs and thanks to a fortuitous prime-time set on The Ed Sullivan Show, at the age of forty-five, the newly christened Rodney Dangerfield was an "overnight" success. It was the greatest second act in the history of show business. 
   
   
   
  Rodney mined his insecurities, personal and professional setbacks, and dismal childhood into comedy gold on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The Dean Martin Show, The Joey Bishop Show, Merv Griffin, and Mike Douglas. And behind that iconic comedy persona was a dedicated father who almost single-handedly raised two children; and a selfless and supportive mentor to such up-and-comers as Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, and George Carlin. 
   
   
   
  An honest, moving, and funny portrait of the real Rodney Dangerfield, Nothin' Comes Easy gives the legend, the man, the father, and friend all the respect he deserves.

  Winner of the 2024 Philip Brett Award, sponsored by the LGBTQ Study Group of the American Musicological Society (AMS)The legacy of Black queer composer, arranger, and pianist Billy Strayhorn (1915–1967) hovers at the edge of canonical jazz narratives. Queer Arrangements explores the ways in which Strayhorn's identity as an openly gay Black jazz musician shaped his career, including the creative roles he could assume and the dynamics between himself and his collaborators, most famously Duke Ellington, but also iconic singers such as Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald. This new portrait of Strayhorn combines critical, historically-situated close readings of selected recordings, scores, and performances with biography and cultural theory to pursue alternative interpretive jazz possibilities, Black queer historical routes, and sounds. By looking at jazz history through the instrument(s) of Strayhorn's queer arrangements, this book sheds new light on his music and on jazz collaboration at midcentury.

  MINORITY REPORT 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Minority Report is a 2002 science fiction thriller directed by Steven Spielberg, set in a dystopian future where a specialized police unit, PreCrime, prevents crimes before they occur. The system relies on three psychics, called "Precogs," who foresee murders, allowing the police to apprehend perpetrators before they commit the crime. The story follows John Anderton, the head of PreCrime, who is accused of a future murder and becomes a fugitive. The film explores themes of free will versus determinism, the morality of preemptive justice, and the ethical implications of surveillance and control in a highly technological society. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The "Precogs" were named after famous mystery writers: Dashiell Hammett, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie.” 
    
  “For the scene where Anderton holds his breath in the bathtub, Steven Spielberg planned to create the rising air bubble using CGI, but Tom Cruise took the time to learn how to do it himself.” 
    
  “Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg both agreed to waive their usual salary to help keep the film's budget under $100 million. Instead, they agreed to take 15% of the film's gross.” 
    
  “Initially, Steven Spielberg wanted Greta (Dr. Eddie’s assistant) to sing a song by ABBA, but Peter Stormare suggested something more absurd: the Swedish children's song "Små grodorna" ("The Small Frogs"), traditionally sung during Midsummer Eve parties in Sweden.”
