Summary

Exploding onto the late 1960s scene, The Stooges were a bunch of misfit Mid-Western delinquents, and their charismatic frontman, Iggy Pop, was a performer extraordinaire. Confrontational and theatrical, this maniacal entertainer was originally joined by the Asheton brothers, Ron and Scott, and Dave Alexander. This lineup delivered two albums of primal, brutal-sounding rock before fracturing. A fortuitous crossing of paths with David Bowie in 1971, however, led to a creative rebirth with a new guitarist in place, James Williamson and before delivering a third album of nihilistic ferocity. However, the album bombed, leaving the band to limp on until 1974 before calling it a day.
 
   During their absence, the band’s influential legacy blossomed, and in 2003, the original trio reunited, once again performing under The Stooges banner. The band toured extensively, finally achieving the respect and adulation that had been lacking the first time around. A new album appeared in 2007 before Ron’s passing in 2009. Williamson subsequently returned, enabling the band to continue touring and recording before Scott Asheton passed away in 2014 and the band folded.
 
   The Stooges’ music has influenced countless other bands, artists and genres, and this book examines the band’s enduring musical legacy by taking a fully comprehensive look at all the group’s officially recorded output.

    Resilience in The Rain is about being courageous during the most volatile times of life. It is about being a friend to those who others have shut out and it is about being fair to all mankind. This book touches on believing in yourself, dealing with mental illness and the affects it has on our professionals who are trained to service the community. The difficult decisions on the job, that are experienced, while having to serve and protect our fellow citizens, in the most turbulent situations, is touched upon throughout the audiobook. It is about learning to have patience and listening to each others dreams, losses, and sticking together throughout one anothers internal struggles. Resilience In The Rain is about not magnifying how big your troubles are but magnifying how big your God is. It is about respecting all races, gender, and religions that focus on the goodness in life for all cultures. Resilience In The Rain is a followup to (my paperback, Abundance In The Thunder, a book about hope) and it aims to encourage and inspire the world through honest words and true intentions of peace and love.
