Jaime Gonzalo ha decidido coger pico y pala y adentrarse una vez más en esa olvidada veta de la historia que es la contracultura, descendiendo una vez más a galerías olvidadas, a niveles de detalle ineditos hasta ahora. En este volumen, Gonzalo se dedica a desbrozar informacion referente a sindicatos obreros, movimientos pacifistas, bandas armadas, celulas marxistas, anarquistas, situacionistas, hippies, filosofos, presidentes, y todo un santoral de revolucionarios de todas las razas e ideologias que lucharon de una forma u otra por defender sus ideas frente al monolito de lo establecido (y cosas peores).En su estilo, el autor emula a la historia, reproduciendo esa espiral de ecos que es su curso en las paginas de Poder freak, señalando y analizando con inaudita destreza los vinculos ocultos entre las volutas que describe cada revolucion, cada fuerza, cada movimiento, cada idea tras ese generico telon de la counterculture. Gracias a su penetrante ritmo y envolvente forma uno descubre, entre los contrapuntos que trenzan esta trilogia maestra, la esencia de esas expresiones sociologicas.

Book & 4 CDs. A fitting tribute to the most spellbinding of Motown artists, The Master is an amazing and detailed overview of the life and career of Marvin Gaye. From his first hits as a romantic lead, Stubborn Kind Of Fellow and Hitch Hike to his final hit, Sexual Healing, The Master follows Gaye as he moves from being an interpreter of simple love songs to being a troubled eco-cosmic warrior and finally to being the love man''s love man, singing songs of sex, religion and passion in equal measure. Steeped in soul and, later, saturated in funk, Gaye''s work is often stimulating and occasionally disquieting, and is presented delightfully on this lavish four-CD book with sumptuous illustrations and detailed annotation.

With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics and the songs that roused the world, and over four decades he lived the original rock and roll life: taking the chances he wanted, speaking his mind, and making it all work in a way that no one before him had ever done. Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. And what a life. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records as a child in post-war Kent. Learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones' first fame and success as a bad-boy band. The notorious Redlands drug bust and subsequent series of confrontations with a nervous establishment that led to his enduring image as outlaw and folk hero. Creating immortal riffs such as the ones in 'Jumping Jack Flash' and 'Street Fighting Man' and 'Honky Tonk Women'. Falling in love with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the US, 'Exile on Main Street' and 'Some Girls'. Ever increasing fame, isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Mick Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Solo albums and performances with his band the Xpensive Winos. Marriage, family and the road that goes on for ever. In a voice that is uniquely and intimately his own, with the disarming honesty that has always been his trademark, Keith Richards brings us the essential life story of our times.
