  The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame -...

  Craig J. Inciardi

  The Indiana Jones of rock history and founding curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum narrates the Hall’s wild history and his quest to build its collection from scratch—from Ozzy Osbourne’s country manor to Keith Moon’s childhood bedroom and Art Garfunkel’s personal archives—including stories about Debbie Harry, Mick Jagger, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and more. 
    
  Craig Inciardi was a rising star at Sotheby’s, collecting iconic pieces of rock and roll memorabilia and rubbing shoulders with rich and famous collectors when he was recruited by the founders of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum for his dream job. Craig’s mandate: Travel the globe and assemble the world’s greatest collection of rock memorabilia ever. What Craig didn’t know at the time was that there was no “museum.” In fact, there was no existing collection other than “a guitar of no importance and three interesting sheets of paper.” So began an epic rock odyssey, with Craig as popular music’s Indiana Jones. 
    
  Working first from a cubicle in the Rolling Stone headquarters in New York and at the constant beck and call of the legendary Jann Wenner, Craig began his work, hounding musicians and their managers for memorabilia for the non-existent museum. His travels brought him to the doorsteps of the most legendary musicians of our time: to Ozzy Osbourne’s vast English estate (Ozzie met him with a rifle in hand) and Keith Moon’s perfectly preserved boyhood bedroom. He pored through letters Paul Simon wrote to Art Garfunkel when they were both kids at sleep away camps, and from Yoko Ono he collected John Lennon’s glasses, stored with his other possessions in a heavy steel briefcase on the day of his murder. Every story is told in lush detail that Rock and Roll fans will savor. 
    
  Equally fascinating is Inciardi’s first-hand account of the chaotic formation of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame itself, taking us backstage to the very first induction ceremonies, an innocent time when long overlooked musicians and some former enemies celebrated each other and jammed into the night with friends and family looking on, as well as the secret induction meetings where top record company executives and managers bitterly argued over who would be included and who wouldn’t.

  Fiona Foley Provocateur provides insights into the life of one of Australia’s most influential urban Aboriginal and activist artists. From her beginnings in Hervey Bay, Queensland, it follows her young adult life in Sydney where she co-founded Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-Operative in 1986, to her rise through the art world and, most recently, into an academic life.  
  This biography reveals how Foley’s life has impacted her art, and her art on her life. It explores the artist’s familial relations, her ancestral home of K’Gari/Fraser Island, and her approach to artmaking and teaching. A provocateur, the artist’s activism is captured delicately throughout. It’s a triumph in story-telling and reveals that there is no art without life.  
  Key points: 
  . An absorbing and uplifting insight into Foley’s courage and determination in confronting racism, the weight of history and the need to forge new models. 
  . A rare account of a friendship between artist and writer, who are also Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, which takes account of the identity politics that surround such relationships with nuanced authenticity.  
  . It traverses the life of one of Australia's most important artists and documents the seismic shifts that have accompanied the decades through which her work has been made. 
  . Wonderful insights into Foley’s heritage, and the process of her provocative commission at Brisbane Magistrates Court. An important book which records the present, before is glossed or altered by future historians.
