  • It Seemed Like A Bad Idea At The Time From Comedy Writer Bruce Vilanch

    It Seemed Like A Bad Idea At The Time From Comedy Writer Bruce Vilanch
    Feb 23 2025
    "Bruce Vilanch, a storyteller without peer, has written a tell-all . . . on himself! And it's hilarious! He's finally coming clean and owning up to his part in creating some of the worst television of the twentieth century, and that's saying a lot. There's no one like him. As they've been saying since I discovered him as a cub reporter at the Chicago Tribune, when you're in a pinch . . . Get Bruce!" -BETTE MIDLER Bruce Vilanch is known as a go-to comedy writer for award shows, sitcoms, and top-heavy variety specials, but he has also been responsible for quite a few of the worst shows ever put on television-legendarily bad productions. Some of his work lives in infamy-The Star Wars Holiday Special, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White at the Oscars, and The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. How did these ever seem like a good idea? Well, everyone has screwed up a few times, or had their work screwed up by others. It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time is a lifetime reflection of what Vilanch has experienced, learned, forgotten, dismissed, and embraced in decades of working in show business, specifically the south forty acres known as comedy. It involves very famous people and people who were not very famous but should have been. And it explains to the person in the audience who says to himself, once he has gotten his jaw off the floor, "'How did this ever get made?" Don't we all want to know?

  • The NBA Dunk And It's Impact On The World Inside Mike Sielski's Magic In The Air

    The NBA Dunk And It's Impact On The World Inside Mike Sielski's Magic In The Air
    Feb 22 2025
    From the author of the bestselling Kobe Bryant biography The Rise comes the legend of the most powerful shot in basketball: the slam dunk. The evolution of basketball, and much of the social and cultural change in America, can be traced through one powerful act on the court: the slam dunk. The dunk's history is the story of a sport and a country changed by the most dominant act in basketball, and it makes Magic in the Air a rollicking and insightful piece of narrative history and a surefire classic of sports literature. When basketball was the province of white men, the dunk acted as a revolutionary agent, a tool for players like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell to transform the sport into a Black man's game. The dunk has since been an expression of Black culture amid the righteous upheaval of the civil-rights movement, of the threat that Black people were considered to be to the establishment. It was banned from college basketball for nearly a decade-an attempt to squash the individual expression and athleticism that characterized the sport in America's cities and on its playgrounds. The dunk nevertheless bubbled up to basketball's highest levels. From Julius Erving to Michael Jordan to the high flyers of the 21st century, the dunk has been a key mechanism for growing the NBA into a global goliath. Drawing on deep reporting and dozens of interviews with players, coaches, and other hoops experts, Magic in the Air brings to life the tale of the dunk while balancing sharp socio-racial history and commentary with a romp through American sports and culture. There's never been a basketball book quite like it.

    The Daily Mess Is It OK To Question God Plus How Can We Survive High Food Prices
    Feb 22 2025
    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… In this present place of now are people questioning God? Plus…how are people survive yet another increase in food prices? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later. When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal! By doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…

  • Last Night A DJ Saved My Life The History Of The Disc Jockey Bill Brewster And Frank Broughton

    Last Night A DJ Saved My Life The History Of The Disc Jockey Bill Brewster And Frank Broughton
    Feb 22 2025
    Twenty-five years since it first appeared, LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE: The History of the Disc Jockey (Grove Press; $22 paperback; 672 pages; ISBN: 978-0-8021-6390-5; February 18, 2025) remains the definitive history on the musical outlaw figure who not only revolutionized the music industry but also laid the foundation for modern music as we know it today: the disc jockey. Lively front row history with a riot of firsthand voices, it is an exhilarating dive into the DJ-led evolution that set the beat for clubland and ushered in new, exciting strands of dance music, with firsthand accounts of the births of disco, hip-hop, house, techno, and EDM. Newly calling attention to the women DJs who disrupted the status quo and made a place for themselves in a traditionally all-male guild, this seminal classic is fully refreshed with even more stories, two entirely new chapters ("Jazz-funk - Expansions" and "Woman - Fight the Power"), and a foreword by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE is a riveting and entertaining account of musical history and some of the most legendary parties of the century.

    The Daily Mess Why Are We In So Much Pain Plus Breaking Free Of The Headlines Feels Like A Crime
    Feb 21 2025
    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… No matter who you’re talking with someone is going to talk about their body aching, why are we in so much pain? Plus… is there any way we can break free of our addiction to news headlines? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world.

  • The What If It Was Me Is Written All Over The Oligarch's Daughter From Joseph Finder

    The What If It Was Me Is Written All Over The Oligarch's Daughter From Joseph Finder
    Feb 21 2025
    Just three days before the election, on November 2nd, Franklin Foer published an essay in The Atlantic espousing the dangers of a Trump Oligarchy. Over that weekend, after Trump won the presidency, we saw a Trump family photo which included Elon Musk, and 60 Minutes ran a piece on Russian defector Maxim Kuzminov who was murdered in Spain. And of course, Putin congratulated the new president elect. Since then, the word “oligarch” has been on the tip of everyone’s tongues. It’s not surprising that fiction can play into this. Bestselling novelist Joseph Finder has always had his finger on the pulse of the news, and his new spy thriller THE OLIGARCH’S DAUGHTER is eerily timely. Set against the years before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and deeply informed by Joe’s expertise in Russia, this propulsive novel is a breakneck thriller about a young hedge funder who falls for an attractive woman he meets at a party who turns out to be the daughter of a Russian oligarch.
