Описание: Formed in 1969 by ex-members of Frank Zappa`s Mothers of Invention, Little Feat created groove-heavy music that was an irresistible mix of rock, blues, R&B, country, jazz, soul, and funk. Fronted by the doomed, enigmatic, and charismatic vocalist and slide guitarist Lowell George, they recorded such classic studio albums as Sailin`shoes and Dixie Chicken , as well as what many consider to be one of the best live albums of all time: Waiting for Columbus . After George`s tragic death in 1979 and a long period of silence, the band later re-formed in 1987, delighting concert crowds with tight renditions of their beloved songs, including their signature outlaw trucker anthem "Willin`."Acclaimed journalist Ben Fong-Torres, working with surviving band members and their friends and associates, has based Willin` on hours of brand-new interviews with all the key players, resulting in the definitive, first-ever biography of this beloved rock `n` roll institution.

Описание: What does it mean to be a creative artist? And how does faith intersect with creativity, entertainment, and the arts? In this collection of essays spanning over a decade in the arts and entertainment industry, Shun Lee Fong explores those very topics with genuineness and vulnerability. Whether artists are amateurs or professionals, the depth of Shun Lee's insights will carry them to new levels in their craft - both creatively and spiritually."Creativity is tough, and doing it professionally can be brutal. That's why 'The Saints & The Poets' is so timely. Whatever pressure, deadlines, or urgency you're facing, this book is a chance to pause, reflect, and restart. Few outsiders understand the demands of a creative life, but here is a writer who not only understands it, but he's been there. On our most challenging day, 'The Saints & The Poets' reminds us of the hope that can transform everything we do." Phil Cooke, Executive Producer of The Hillsong Movie: Let Hope Rise"'The Saints & The Poets' moved me to think, to pray, to contemplate, and to discuss it with my creative friends and associates. Shun Lee has done a fabulous job of capturing the life, the struggles, and the joys of being both a Christian and an Artist. I found 'The Saints & The Poets' encouraging, inspirational, thought-provoking and full of personal stories and biblical truths. I would like to give this as a gift to every Christian who walks into Hollywood for the first time, and then again 10 years later to remind them of what it's all about." Karen Covell, television producer and Executive Director of Hollywood Prayer Network"Shun Lee delivers a new classic on art, creativity, and faith, with a clear and deep commitment to all three. Artists of all sorts would do well to contemplate his thoughts and incorporate them in their respective crafts. Thought-provoking and clever, this is the best creative manual since Madeleine L'Engle's 'Walking On Water.'" Valerie Bourdain, artist, author & public speaker"Shun Lee has created something extraordinary for every artist, poet, and saint in his new book 'The Saints & The Poets.' This rich, engrossing journal for creatives has gripped me I feel like quoting every favorite line from each chapter. Read each word to get the full effect..." Jeff Saxton, filmmaker & author of 'The New Pharisee'"Shun Lee ushers the Creative into very relatable territory. He prompts us to reflect upon the questions and insecurities that plague us as we stare at a blank laptop screen, look into either end of a camera lens, walk onto any stage, or face a casting row of judgment. But he doesn't leave us in our artisan angst Shun Lee recalls the very human and very flawed 'heroes' of the scriptures, who faced similar dilemmas, and in turn encourages us to face another script, another shoot, another performance... because Immanuel - God is with us " Dan Rupple, CEO of Mastermedia International"I opened 'The Saints & The Poets' anticipating a lovely read from a thoughtful young man whom I know to be full of spiritual truth. What I didn't anticipate was that I would became completely enraptured by his transparency, warmth, and depth. As a creative himself, Shun Lee relates to the insecurities, fear, and ego that often run amok in a life in the arts. His experiences and insights will resonate with every creative. But to pigeonhole his audience to the artistic community alone limits the power and potential of this devotional memoir. Whether you're a writer, musician, actor... or a biologist, dentist, or marketing wiz... don't we all yearn to embrace and fully embody that Divine spark within us? And that is precisely the beauty and universality of this book. It will speak to your soul, nudge you out of your comfort zone, propel you closer to the Source of all creation - and encourage you to to express all that He's designed you to be."

In contemporary American political culture, claims of American exceptionalism and anxieties over its prospects have resurged as an overarching theme in national political discourse. Yet never very far from such debates lie animating fears associated with race. Fears about the loss of national unity and trust often draw attention to looming changes in the racial demographics of the body politic. Lost amid these debates are often the more complex legacies of racial hybridity. Anxieties over the disintegration of the fabric of American national identity likewise forget not just how they echo past fears of subversive racial and cultural difference, but also exorcise as well the changing nature of work and social interaction.
Edmund Fong's book examines the rise and resurgence of contemporary forms of American exceptionalism as they have emerged out of contentious debates over cultural pluralism and multicultural diversity in the past two decades. For a brief time, serious considerations of the force of multiculturalism entered into a variety of philosophical and policy debates. But in the American context, these debates often led to a reaffirmation of some variant of American exceptionalism with the consequent exorcism of race within the avowed norms and policy goals of American politics. Fong explores how this "multicultural exorcism" revitalizing American exceptionalism is not simply a novel feature of our contemporary political moment, but is instead a recurrent dynamic across the history of American political discourse.
By situating contemporary discourse on cultural pluralism within the larger frame of American history, this book yields insight into the production of hegemonic forms of American exceptionalism and how race continues to haunt the contours of American national identity.
