Asian Deities and Demons - Myths...

Odessa Nightshade

Mythology has always been a reflection of human culture, shaping beliefs, traditions, and the way people understand the world. Across Asia, an incredibly diverse range of myths and legends has developed over thousands of years, creating a rich spiritual tapestry that continues to influence daily life. These myths tell stories of powerful deities who govern the heavens, fearsome demons that bring destruction, and legendary heroes whose deeds inspire generations. Whether found in Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, or Taoist traditions, these stories reveal deep cultural values and offer insights into the forces that ancient civilizations believed controlled their destinies.  
  
Deities and demons in Asian mythology are not merely figures of worship or fear; they serve as representations of human emotions, natural phenomena, and moral lessons. Many gods and spirits embody forces of nature—thunder, wind, fire, and water—while others symbolize virtues such as wisdom, courage, and compassion. Some deities are benevolent protectors, while others test humanity through trials and temptations. Meanwhile, demons and malevolent spirits serve as cautionary figures, reminding people of the consequences of greed, arrogance, or disobedience to the divine order. These myths have been passed down through oral tradition, sacred texts, and artistic expressions, evolving over time yet retaining their core significance.

Jon Kinnally, Ryan O'Connell

WARNING: Those who don't remember my past are doomed to repeat it.I'm Prancing As Fast As I Can is a coming of Gay story that takes us from a scared, self-hating kid who spends most of his time under his desk staring at the hunky man on the Doan's Pills box, to becoming a writer on Will & Grace, helping to make it a little easier for other scared, self-hating kids who might also be hiding and staring at their secret desire. It's a journey through Olympic mustaches and when Chér's name had an accent and losing your virginity to a trucker and chasing Gay bashers in six-inch heels dressed as a drag bunny and a terrible virus and memorials and memorials and memorials and ACTing UP and using the word "lover" and having a fan who's also a serial killer and Gay penguins and spreading your boyfriends' ashes with your new boyfriend and Prop 8 and getting to write lines for divas on Ugly Betty and Gay marriage and more stuff like that and in the end ketamine therapy to help it all make sense.

Hallelujah Junction - Composing...

Jon Adams

John Adams is one of the most respected and loved of contemporary composers, and "he has won his eminence fair and square: he has aimed high, he has addressed life as it is lived now, and he has found a language that makes sense to a wide audience" (Alex Ross, The New Yorker). Now, in Hallelujah Junction, he incisively relates his life story, from his childhood to his early studies in classical composition amid the musical and social ferment of the 1960s, from his landmark minimalist innovations to his controversial "docu-operas." Adams offers a no-holds-barred portrait of the rich musical scene of 1970s California, and of his contemporaries and colleagues, including John Cage, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass. He describes the process of writing, rehearsing, and performing his renowned works, as well as both the pleasures and the challenges of writing serious music in a country and a time largely preoccupied with pop culture.Hallelujah Junction is a thoughtful and original memoir that will appeal to both longtime Adams fans and newcomers to contemporary music. Not since Leonard Bernstein's Findings has an eminent composer so candidly and accessibly explored his life and work. This searching self-portrait offers not only a glimpse into the work and world of one of our leading artists, but also an intimate look at one of the most exciting chapters in contemporary culture.
