Dirty real : exile on Hollywood and Vine with the gin mill cowboys / by Stanfield, Peter,1958-author.(CARDINAL)894083;
"This is the tale of how Hollywood, inspired by the success of Easy Rider, sold a cycle of films as the new dirty real. Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Monte Hellman, Jack Nicholson, Kris Kristofferson, and Sam Peckinpah, among others, drew on a nostalgia for the gutter and donned bohemian personae, pulling on soiled shirts and scuffed boots to better counter the glamour and phoniness of Tinseltown. With great care for the historical record and displaying a refined critical acuity, Peter Stanfield captures that pivotal moment when Hollywood tried to sell a begrimed vision of itself to the world"--Dust jacket.Introduction: Dirt for Dirt's Own Sake -- The Hired Hand: Circling Back to the End Again -- The Last Movie: Dennis Hopper's Three-Ring Circus -- The Last Picture Show, Five Easy Pieces and Payday: Cowboy Rhythm on KTRN -- The Shooting, Ride in the Whirlwind and Two-Lane Blacktop: Who's Monte Hellman, You Ask? -- Cisco Pike: Kris Kristofferson Has Got a Great Future behind Him -- Dirty Little Billy: Scuffling on Madison Ave -- McCabe and Mrs Miller: Pipe Dreams--Lows and Highs -- Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid: Angels Descend and Graves Open -- Conclusion: Bring Me the Head.Includes bibliographical references, filmography, and index.

Brand mysticism : cultivate creativity & intoxicate your audience / by Grasse, Steven,Author(DLC)n 2021061603; Goldfarb, Aaron,Author(DLC)no2020081513;
"An irreverent and wide-ranging treatise on concocting a brand, distilling a message, and serving up ideas in business or in life, from the marketing mastermind behind countless iconic booze brands. Steven Grasse made a name for himself as not only a distiller but also the mind behind beloved brands like Hendrick's Gin and Sailor Jerry Rum and the guy who made cheap-beer-standbys like Narragansett and Miller High Life cool again. Through his work in advertising and marketing, Grasse has changed the game in the booze world and become an authority on building an authentic, enduring, and deeply beloved brand. So how did he do it? Through practicing brand mysticism, a mentality for all endeavors based on keeping an open mind, taking risks, and developing authenticity-skills that have benefited him in booze, business, and beyond. In this book, he's sharing this practice with the world. Through lessons (big life things that feel like just cool stories), case studies (how did Sailor Jerry become the punk rock Captain Morgan?), and magical ingredients (what makes a great message sing), Brand Mysticism guides you through the steps it takes to channel entrepreneurial spirit into a brand, a business, a creative practice, or a life that breaks with tradition to achieve the remarkable"--.

I could feel it. I could see it. -- We've known his story forever -- A whistle or a wink."Everyone knows the story of the murder of young Emmett Till. In August 1955, the fourteen-year-old Chicago boy was murdered in Mississippi for having--supposedly--flirted with a white woman named Carolyn Bryant, who was working behind the counter of a store. Emmett was taken from the home of a relative later that night by white men; three days later, his naked body was recovered in the Tallahatchie River, weighed down by a cotton-gin fan. Till's killers were acquitted, but details of what had happened to him became public; the story gripped the country and sparked outrage.It continues to turn. The murder has been the subject of books and documentaries, rising and falling in number with anniversaries and tie-ins, and shows no sign of letting up. The Till murder continues to haunt the American conscience. Fifty years later, in 2005, the FBI reopened the case. New papers and testimony have come to light, and several participants, including Till's mother, Mamie Till Mobley, have published autobiographies. Using this new evidence and a broadened historical context, Elliott Gorn delves into facets of the case never before studied and considers how and why the story of Emmett Till still resonates, and likely always will. Even as it marked a turning point, Gorn shows, hauntingly, it reveals how old patterns of thought and behavior linger in new faces, and how deeply embedded racism in America remains. Gorn does full justice to both Emmett and the Till Case--the boy and the symbol--and shows how and why their intersection illuminates a number of crossroads: of north and south, black and white, city and country, industrialization and agriculture, rich and poor, childhood and adulthood."--Provided by publisher.
