Are We All Right?
Summary
Are We All Right? details a number of things that are wrong in our society in America and how we need to make changes to fix the problems. The lyrics point up problems with crime, junkies, gangs, homelessness, bank fraud, insurance rates, oil spills, forest destruction, and global warming that have been getting worse over the last few decades. The song and this book are a kind of rallying cry or call to action about the many problems we need to fix today. As the song describes, it’s important to act quickly. We literally have to change the game. We need new rules, since otherwise, we seem to be heading to a certain disaster. This song is like an anthem to call attention to the problems we face, so we can do something to fix them before it’s too late. For example, the first verse begins: "We've got crime in the streets. We've got junkies down the hall. We've got homeless in the doorways, panhandlers on the mall. And the chorus starts this way: "But we're all right. We're all right. Yeah, that's what they tell us. Now we're all right." I hope this song and book will help you see that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Thus, we have to be proactive in seeking change, from making changes in your own life to reaching out to others in power to ask them to work for change. Let this song and book serve as a battle cry to make a positive difference - now! PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Losing My Cool
Summary
How a Father's Love and 15,000 Books Beat Hip-hop Culture A pitch-perfect account of how hip-hop culture drew in the author and how his father drew him out again - with love, perseverance, and 15,000 books. Into Williams's childhood home-a one-story ranch house-his father crammed more books than the local library could hold. "Pappy" used some of these volumes to run an academic prep service; the rest he used in his unending pursuit of wisdom. His son's pursuits were quite different: "money, hoes, and clothes." The teenage Williams wore Medusa- faced Versace sunglasses and a hefty gold medallion, dumbed down and thugged up his speech, and did whatever else he could to fit into the intoxicating hip-hop culture that surrounded him. Like all his friends, he knew exactly where he was the day Biggie Smalls died, he could recite the lyrics to any Nas or Tupac song, and he kept his woman in line, with force if necessary. But Pappy, who grew up in the segregated South and hid in closets so he could read Aesop and Plato, had a different destiny in mind for his son. For years, Williams managed to juggle two disparate lifestyles- "keeping it real" in his friends' eyes and studying for the SATs under his father's strict tutelage. As college approached and the stakes of the thug lifestyle escalated, the revolving door between Williams's street life and home life threatened to spin out of control. Ultimately, Williams would have to decide between hip-hop and his future. Would he choose "street dreams" or a radically different dream- the one Martin Luther King spoke of or the one Pappy held out to him now? Williams is the first of his generation to measure the seductive power of hip-hop against its restrictive worldview, which ultimately leaves those who live it powerless. Losing My Cool portrays the allure and the danger of hip-hop culture like no book has before. Even more remarkably, Williams evokes the subtle salvation that literature offers and recounts with breathtaking clarity a burgeoning bond between father and son.

Violin for Beginners
Summary
In this guide, you will find detailed, clear instructions to continue to advance your violin playing. There are numerous performance scenarios, practice ideas, and pieces of music that can be encountered on a regular basis as a beginning violinist. This book will continue to build and expand on previous ideas, providing insight and additional ideas that will help you as you continue to make progress. One of the most asked questions from beginners, especially adults, is a variation on the question of improvement: What exactly makes the difference between being a beginner violinist and achieving a more refined, mature sound? How can I change my playing to sound more melodious? I have learned basic songs already, so how can I move beyond this and learn more advanced music? What if I am preparing to perform and share my current progress, including covers and original songs? Maybe you are ready to move beyond playing in your home and want to give public performances or join a musical ensemble. Wherever the next steps in your musical journey may take you, it all begins with practice, preparation, and guidance. Guidance will come from a variety of resources, from the tips in this book to professional teachers or musicians or video tutorials. Be sure to further enrich your violin studies by using elements of each. While technical and musical preparation can ultimately be worked on separately, your goal, as an advancing violinist, should be to merge the two. Only when you have a combination of both sides of playing the violin will your playing advance. This book will not only provide insight on how to combine both elements to become more advanced, but also give advice on extending your violin performance outside of your practice and taking it into your community! Let us begin!

Looking to Get Lost
Summary
By the best-selling author of Sam Phillips: The Man Who Invented Rock ‘n’ Roll and Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley, this dazzling new book of profiles is not so much a summation as a culmination of Peter Guralnick’s remarkable work, which from the start has encompassed the full sweep of blues, gospel, country, and rock 'n' roll. It covers old ground from new perspectives, offering deeply felt, masterful, and strikingly personal portraits of creative artists, both musicians and writers, at the height of their powers. “You put the book down feeling that its sweep is vast, that you have read of giants who walked among us,” rock critic Lester Bangs wrote of Guralnick’s earlier work in words that could just as easily be applied to this new one. And yet, for all of the encomiums that Guralnick’s books have earned for their remarkable insights and depth of feeling, Looking to Get Lost is his most personal book yet. For those who have grown up on Guralnick’s unique vision of the vast sweep of the American musical landscape, who have imbibed his loving and lively portraits and biographies of such titanic figures as Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, and Sam Phillips, there are multiple surprises and delights here, carrying on and extending all the themes, fascinations, and passions of his groundbreaking earlier work.
