  • - Imagine...Saving John Lennon
    af Donovan Day
    118,95 kr.

    Imagine going back in time and befriending The Beatles at the height of their fame. Imagine seeing "the boys" interact onstage and off, hanging out with them in the dance clubs of London, visiting John & Paul at Paul's house across from Abbey Road Studios. Imagine all the questions when they learn you're from the future: How are records made? Will their music last? Will anyone remember The Beatles? And then John Lennon asks the biggest question of them all - "What will become of me?" That last question sets 17-year-old Lenny Funk off on the adventure of his life with a goal that seems impossible - to stop John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman. Lenny Funk is able to time travel, thanks in part to his baby boomer grandfather's old iPod Nano which is loaded with the classic rock and roll, and pop and folk tunes of the 1960s & '70s. Together with his new friend Yoko (yes, she's named after that Yoko), Lenny "time slips" backwards where he meets some of his musical heroes -- not only The Beatles but also Jim Morrison & James Taylor, among others. Lenny must make some difficult and heartbreaking decisions-should he change the course of history, or not? And what are the consequences if he does? The year 2015 marks what would have been John Lennon's 75th birthday and, sadly, the 35th year since he was murdered.

  • - My journey from the projects to the front page
    af Paul Larosa
    148,95 kr.

    Paul LaRosa was a clueless kid growing up in a Bronx housing project when he discovered there might be more to life. As the projects went from idyllic to dangerous, Paul made his way to The New York Daily News where he became a copyboy and later a reporter. The News was still the largest circulating newspaper in the country but it was in the last, outrageous and often hilarious, gasp of The Front Page Era. Reporters wallowed in a swirl of alcohol, hookers and bad behavior but none of it stopped them from delivering an electric and engaging paper every day. Paul, a naïf trapped in a Tabloid World, struggled to adapt. As a reporter, Paul had a front row seat to one of the most harrowing five year periods in New York's history: the city's brush with bankruptcy, the terror reign of Son of Sam, a riotous blackout and the murder of John Lennon. Thanks to The News, Paul was there every step of the way.
