Sinopse

Musicians Who Disappeared explores the intriguing phenomenon of musical artists who vanished from public life, sometimes at the peak of their careers. The book delves into the stories of these forgotten figures, examining their artistic contributions alongside the circumstances surrounding their disappearances. 

 
Did pressure from the music industry, personal crises, or something else entirely lead to their withdrawal? The book suggests these disappearances serve as cautionary tales about the darker side of the music industry and the human cost of fame, exploring the psychology of fame and mental health challenges faced by performers.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of musical disappearance, categorizing the types of vanishing acts. It then presents in-depth case studies of musicians who disappeared under mysterious or noteworthy circumstances, looking at their backgrounds, careers, and prevailing theories surrounding their absence. Finally, the book analyzes common threads and patterns, offering a broader commentary on the music business and celebrity culture.

 
Through biographical analysis and media studies, Musicians Who Disappeared connects to fields like psychology and sociology, providing a holistic understanding of the factors that contribute to these vanishing acts.

Beyond Babylon Resilience in...

Jason Jansson

Preface
Welcome to the vibrant, unpredictable world of Slab City Californiaâ€”a place where trials and transformation intersect amidst the desert ruins. In the season of 2024, I embarked on a journey to this otherworldly post-apocalyptic landscape, seeking refuge from the constraints of modern society and discovering profound lessons in resilience and human connection.
My experiences in Slab City were nothing short of transformative. What began as a quest for escape evolved into a profound exploration of self-discovery and communal living. Here, amidst the remnants of a forgotten military base, I encountered a community unlike any otherâ€”a gathering of souls navigating their own purgatories, seeking solace and renewal in the desert expanse.
As you delve into the pages of this book, you'll join me on a journey of personal evolution and collective wisdom. From the vibrant art installations of East Jesus to the camaraderie of the Oasis Club, each encounter in Slab City left an indelible mark on my spirit. The Slabbers I metâ€”resilient, resourceful, and irreverently creativeâ€”taught me invaluable lessons about living authentically and embracing the unexpected.
Through the trials and tribulations of Slab City, I discovered that true transformation begins with the courage to embrace the unknown and the willingness to connect deeply with others. This book is a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity, a celebration of unconventional living, and a reminder that amidst desolation, hope and community flourish.
Join me as we uncover the secrets of Slab City, where the mundane fades away and the extraordinary emerges. May this journey inspire you to seek your own path of authenticity and resilience, wherever your adventures may lead.
Let the metamorphosis begin. Jason

William Powell and Myrna Loy:...

Editors Charles River

It is something of a cliché to say that an actor’s life was like a movie he or she might have starred in, but in the case of Myrna Loy, the cliché is true. It is easy to picture her as a little girl, riding the range with her rancher father, sitting around the table and participating charmingly in family discussions of current events. It is not hard to imagine the camera panning to her first and then second visits to Hollywood, her backlot tour, and starry-eyed decision to become an actress. There would have to be some drama, which the story of her father’s untimely death would provide, along with some sort of deathbed promise made to him to care for the rest of the family. Her mother would be brave but resolute as she moved her young family to California. The lighting on set would brighten and the tempo of the background would pick up as she walked down the Los Angeles streets. Then, her big break would come. The camera would show her first comical meeting with William Powell and then a spinning scene of ticket after ticket being sold to their new picture, The Thin Man.
While older silent film stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton reached the peak of Hollywood, some actors born near the beginning of the 20th century were ready to capitalize. Though actors like Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant remain household names, and actresses like Greta Garbo are still widely remembered, few had careers that enjoyed the success of William Powell. In a career spanning several decades, Powell would receive three Oscar nominations for Best Actor for critically acclaimed movies, so it is somewhat ironic that he is mostly remembered today for his association with the more famous Myrna Loy. One thing that helped Powell’s career along in the old days when Hollywood would only cast white actors in major roles, no matter what the nationality of the character was supposed to be, were his dark good looks.

The Beat Goes On - A Music...

Steve Riggs

Let's not beat around the bush, Covid made a total mess for musicians, producers, bands, DJs, road crew, venue owners, lighting engineers, and anyone else involved in the industry. 
The main lesson that I learnt from it all… Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. 
Now, during the aftermath of it all, we see the cost-of-living crisis, and now a recession… so, we need to find new ways to protect ourselves from anything that could endanger our livelihoods again in the future. 
I know the struggle and have sacrificed a lot over the last 3 years, working tirelessly to find ways to build myself back up to continue to thrive in this madness that we call a post-covid world. 
So, I wrote a book about it, giving you all the strategies and tools to help you easily build multiple streams of income from the skills that you already have as a producer/musician. 
Use my knowledge and experience to skip the struggle, evolve, and move up in the game... all while looking after your wellbeing and personal life at the same time. 
There are two types of people in this world: Those who go after what they want, and everybody else. 
Which one are you?
