| | What Should I Do With My Life? by Po Bronson |
 | | Two famous actresses have read the book to help them understand the lives of regular people (Hah!!!), and one 17-year-old homeless youth in Denver was inspired by the book during the time he was getting off the streets. | | | Perhaps the best introduction I can offer to the book - its stories, its tone, its structure- is to listen to the segment I created for NPR's Morning Edition, which aired January 3rd. | | | A surprising number of retirees pass the book around, as a call to find a meaningful purpose in their retirement years. |

| | Jennifer Government by Max Barry |
| | It can take a year or more for a book to hit the shelves after a publisher has accepted it, and months or years to sell significant numbers of copies, and six months on top of that for it to show up in a royalty statement with a check attached. | | | Royalties are the cut the author receives from the sale of each book (usually around 10% of the cover price, but can be much higher or lower depending on the edition, country, and how much more famous they are than me). | | | On the one hand this isn’t so surprising, because making a movie is a major logistical challenge: you have to get the right people interested, and all available at the same time, and happy to work with each other, and then you need to pay them all stupid amounts of money. |

| | Work of the People: The Gathering Song |
| | The song is the "official" opening of Mass, though people have been engaging in the rituals of gathering--vesting in Sunday's best, processing to church, greeting one another, focusing thoughts--long before the first note of the song. | | | It needs to be familiar enough so that people can participate in the procession either by being in it (as the ministers are) or by watching it without needing to glue their eyes to a song book. | | | The Gathering Song is one of the most important pieces of music of the Mass. |

| | The Peekskill Story (Part 1 & 2) (Mario Casetta) (1949), |
| | People's Artists booked a major concert for August 27, 1949 at Lakeland Picnic Grounds, a former golf course north of Peekskill, New York. | | | It was not as ambitious as People's Songs; it primarily served to sponsor hootenannies and concerts, book artists and encourage songwriters. | | | Pete Seeger, Irwin Silber and Betty Sanders were the primary forces behind People's Artists: Seeger later scaled back his involvement when the Weavers began achieving popular success. |

| | Why is song so different?? - Sound Choice - SoundBoard |
| | I think most of the confusion comes in when people look up songs by title in people's song books and either don't pay attenton to the artist, or maybe the book doesn't list the artist with the title. | | | I have agreed several times with various people that some of our songs and products leave something to be desired as to their accuracy or quality. | | | But the structure of the song, the original instrumentation, and the arrangement of the musical parts will all be very close to the original. |

| | Chuck Sher & Larry Dunlap, editors, The All-Jazz Real Book |
| | Chuck Sher points out that the songs on the CD are mostly those "people might be hesitant to try to play upon first glance." This is definitely the jazz fake book for the jazz student looking to expand his or her horizons. | | | This fake book has the distinction of being the first such volume to include a CD. | | | Instead the carefully selected tunes fall into three genres: classic jazz (Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, etc.), international forms (Jobim, Eddie Palmieri, Orlando "Maraca" Valle, etc.) and contemporary jazz, which fills half the book with the likes of Astral Project, Kurt Elling and John Scofield. |

| | Combining flashy imagery with a lot of violence and gratuitous sex, the film was the animated version of the comic book series of the same name and an easy to digest feast for pubescent boys with rock music influences and heroic dreams about a glorified adulthood filled with raunchy sex, drugs and rock and roll. | | | On top of it, the film has nothing to do with actual "Heavy Metal" - the music - or its lifestyle at all, as many people incorrectly assume. | | | Heavy Metal historian Carl Macek is reading his book "Heavy Metal" over the films presentation, which contains some interesting information for fans of the film and the comic books. |
