@ northern madman, amigo, just on the off chance you're looking in, hope you and yours are all ok. In March you posted part of a series called Deep & Gritty The Sound Of The City, some of the volumes you still had to finish (vols 9 - 13 - 14 -15 - 16).If you managed to finish them would you care to share them here at TZ to finalise the set.
Still a gaping hole in the TZ & soul community northern madman. Always thought of & always appreciated, thank you & take care.
cheers,ELtel

Ob verregnet oder nicht - 5 Bücher für den Sommer:

Ein Krimi von Kinky Friedman:
Kinky Friedman - Tanz auf dem Regenbogen
Wieder einmal ist der Kinkstah ganz allein auf der Welt und bemitleidet sich. Alle Irregulars haben die Stadt verlassen, also muß Kinky Friedman die Unwägbarkeiten des Lebens mit seiner Katze diskutieren. Kinkys morbide Zerknirschung wird durch einen Anruf von Will Hoover unterbrochen, der sich als Journalist in Honolulu aufhält. Kinkys Freund Mike McGovern, der gerade auf Hawaii an einem Buch arbeitet, ist verschwunden ...

Lyndon, John - Anger is an energy
die Autobiografie von Johnny Rotten

Reiser, Rio - König von Deutschland
Autobiografie

Savage, Jon - 1966 the year the decade expolded
english editon
In seinem neuen Buch beschreibt der Kulturwissenschaftler Jon Savage das Jahr 1966 als das wichtigste in der Entwicklung von Popmusik und -kultur überhaupt. Diese sei damals förmlich explodiert. Ergebnis: Unerhörte Innovationen und jede Menge Aufruhr.

Thompson, Hunter S. - Die Rolling-Stone-Jahre
Die Zusammenarbeit des Autors Hunter S. Thompson mit dem Magazin "Rolling Stone" sorgte schnell dafür, dass beider Namen auch in der US-Hauptstadt ein Begriff wurden. Thompson und den "Rolling Stone" verband damals die Sehnsucht, der jungen Gegenkultur eine Stimme zu geben. Der Autor galt Ende der sechziger Jahre als wilder Paradiesvogel seiner Zunft und wurde 1967 mit dem Reportage-Roman "Hell's Angels" bekannt, dem Jahr, in dem Jann S. Wenner das Magazin "Rolling Stone" gründete.

Mit dem neuen Jahrzehnt startete dann eine Zusammenarbeit, die längst als legendär gilt und nun endlich auch gebündelt auf Deutsch vorliegt. Der umfangreiche Band "Die Rolling-Stone-Jahre" bietet alle relevanten Texte, die der 1937 in Louisville, Kentucky, geborene Hunter S. Thompson für das Magazin verfasste. Dabei, unter anderem, die Reportage, aus der sein wohl bekanntestes Buch "Angst und Schrecken in Las Vegas" entstand. Angereichert wurden die Stücke jeweils durch die begleitende - und stets unterhaltsame - Korrespondenz zwischen dem Reporter Thompson und seinem Chefredakteur Wenner.
