Edward Burne-Jones: Art and...

Patrick Baude

Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898) was a master of drawing, painted glass and ceramic art. Little concerned with the details of daily reality, he probed medieval literature for new themes and produced works that idolize Victorian values and the Englishwoman. 
Burne-Jones was the epitome of politically correct licentiousness, as a recent London exhibition made delightfully plain to all.

The Philosophy Of Andy Warhol -...

Andy Warhol

In The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, the enigmatic, legendary Warhol makes the listener his confidant on love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, success, and much more. 
 
 
 
Andy Warhol claimed that he loved being outside a party—so that he could get in. But more often than not, the party was at his own studio, The Factory, where celebrities—from Edie Sedgwick and Allen Ginsberg to the Rolling Stones and the Velvet Underground—gathered in an ongoing bash. 
 
 
 
A loosely formed autobiography, told with his trademark blend of irony and detachment, this compelling and eccentric memoir riffs and reflects on all things Warhol: New York, America, and his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, as well as the explosion of his career in the sixties, and his life among the rich and famous. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

The Amazing Adventures of a...

Bill Cinque

5000 GIGS.  
400+ FILM AND TV PLACEMENTS.  
45 YEARS IN MUSIC. 
These are some of the bullet points in the resume of author/musician Bill Cinque. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF A MARGINALLY SUCCESSFUL MUSICIAN is an educational and entertaining look at the world of music. 
  
Honest, insightful and often humorously brutal, Cinque speaks to the beginner, the seasoned pro and the non-musician “civilian” in a unique and refreshing voice about the rehearsals, recordings and rejections in the life of a self-described “blue collar, working class musician.” 
  
"I live on a strict diet of pizza and Rockford Files reruns. For the sake of time and energy, I’ll answer all the other pertinent questions that anyone might have in short order. Briefs, not boxers. Mary Ann, not Ginger. Yankees, not Mets. Giants, not Jets. Tea, not coffee."
