Sinossi

Step into the heart of the Los Angeles music scene of the 1960s and 1970s, a time of unparalleled creativity, excess, and innovation. This book takes you on a journey through the sun-drenched beaches of Laurel Canyon and the neon-lit streets of the Sunset Strip, where legends were born and dreams were made.

Discover the stories behind the iconic artists who defined a generation: from the folk-rock harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to the psychedelic sounds of the Doors and the hard-rocking anthems of Guns N' Roses. Relive the electrifying live performances, the chart-topping hits, and the behind-the-scenes drama that shaped the music scene of the era.

But beyond the glamour and the fame, this book also delves into the darker side of the L.A. music scene. Explore the struggles with drug abuse, alcohol addiction, and mental health issues that plagued many of the scene's most talented artists. Uncover the pressures of fame and the relentless pursuit of success that took a heavy toll on their lives.

Through captivating storytelling and exclusive interviews, this book paints a vivid picture of a time and place that forever changed the course of music history. It is a story of triumph and tragedy, of creativity and excess, of dreams fulfilled and dreams shattered.

This book is a must-read for fans of classic rock, music history, and the enduring legacy of the L.A. music scene. It is a journey through a time and place that will never be forgotten.

    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.”

    Ida Lupino Forgotten Auteur -...

    Though her acting career is well known, Ida Lupino was, until very recently, either unknown or overlooked as an influential director. One of the few female directors in Classical Hollywood, Lupino was the only woman with membership in the Directors Guild of America between 1948 and 1971. Her films were about women without power in society and engaged with highly controversial topics despite Hollywood's strict production code. Working in a male-dominated field, Lupino was forced to manage her public persona carefully, resisting attempts by the press to paint her solely as a dutiful wife and mother—a continual feminization—just so that she could continue directing. 
     
     
     
    Filmmaker Alexandra Seros retells the story of Ida Lupino's career, from actor to director, first in film, then in television, using archival materials from collections housed around the world. The result provides rich insights into three of Lupino's independently directed films and a number of episodes from her vast television oeuvre. Seros contextualizes this analysis with discussions of gendered labor in the film industry, the rise of consumerism in the United States after World War II, and the expectations put on women in their family lives during the postwar era. Seros's portrait of Lupino ultimately paints her life and career as an exemplar of collaborative auteurship.
