Living the Beatles legend : the untold story of Mal Evans / by Womack, Kenneth,author.(CARDINAL)210996;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 520-558) and index.Foreword -- A right little bastard -- Funfair -- A cellarful of noise -- Roadie? -- A free man -- The big clubbo! -- Mal, cripples! -- My favortie animal -- The demon -- Mr. nice guy -- Seven levels -- Channel swimmer -- Greek god -- The Elvis situation -- The family way -- We love you, Beatles! -- Baboons, very many -- Swirling silvery shimmery worlds -- Socks, mal! -- Mystery tours -- The fifth magician -- Managing directors? -- Poverty throws a smiling shadow -- Big, cuddly, cheerful, and sexy -- The grinning giant -- To rule is to serve -- See you 'round the clubs -- Pisspots on a journey -- Sun worshipper -- Badfinger boogie -- Double agent -- Hitmaker -- Happy crimble! -- Malcontented -- Pandora's box -- Fools and drunks -- So what? -- Tell the truth -- Crying in a hotel room, NY -- Dead letter office -- Epilogue: a cellarful of dust -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Credits -- Index."Malcolm Evans, the Beatles' long-time roadie, personal assistant, and devoted friend, was an invaluable member of the band's inner circle. A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses, Evans loomed large in the Beatles' story, contributing at times as a performer and sometime lyricist, while struggling mightily to protect his beloved "boys." He was there for the whole of the group's remarkable, unparalleled story: from the Shea Stadium triumph through the creation of the timeless cover art for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the famous Let It Be rooftop concert. Leaving a stable job as telecommunications engineer to serve as road manager for this fledgling band, Mal was the odd man out from the start--older, married with children, and without any music business experience. And yet he threw himself headlong into their world, traveling across the globe and making himself indispensable. In the years after the Beatles' disbandment, Big Mal continued in their employ as each embarked upon solo careers. By 1974, he was determined to make his name as a songwriter and record producer, setting off for a new life in Los Angeles, where he penned his memoirs. But in January 1976, on the verge of sharing his book with the world, Evans's story came to a tragic end during a domestic standoff with the LAPD. For Beatles devotes, Mal's life and untimely death have always been shrouded in mystery. For decades, his diaries, manuscripts, and vast collection of memorabilia was missing, seemingly lost forever...until now. Working with full access to Mal's unpublished archives and having conducted hundreds of new interviews, Beatles' scholar and author Kenneth Womack affords readers with a full telling of Mal's unknown story at the heart of the Beatles' legend. Lavishly illustrated with unseen photos and ephemera from Mal's archives, Living the Beatles' Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans is the missing puzzle piece in the Fab Four's incredible story."--Amazon.com.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be : essays / by Perkins, Nichole,author.;
"Pop culture is the Pandora's Box of our lives. Racism, wealth, poverty, beauty, inclusion, exclusion, and hope -- all of these intractable and unavoidable features course through the media we consume. Examining pop culture's impact on her life, Nichole Perkins takes readers on a rollicking trip through the last twenty years of music, media and the internet from the perspective of one southern Black woman. She explores her experience with mental illness and how the TV series Frasier served as a crutch, how her role as mistress led her to certain internet message boards that prepared her for current day social media, and what it means to figure out desire and sexuality and Prince in a world where marriage is the only acceptable goal for women. Combining her sharp wit, stellar pop culture sensibility, and trademark spirited storytelling, Nichole boldly tackles the damage done to women, especially Black women, by society's failure to confront the myths and misogyny at its heart, and her efforts to stop the various cycles that limit confidence within herself. By using her own life and loves as a unique vantage point, Nichole humorously and powerfully illuminates how to take the best pop culture has to offer and discard the harmful bits, offering a mirror into our own lives"--
