Dark Days

A Memoir

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Lamb of god vocalist D. Randall Blythe finally tells the whole incredible story of his arrest, incarceration, trial, and acquittal for manslaughter in the Czech Republic over the tragic and accidental death of a concertgoer in this riveting, gripping, biting, bold, and brave memoir. On June 27, 2012, the long-running, hard-touring, and world-renowned metal band lamb of god landed in Prague for their first concert there in two years. Vocalist D. Randall "Randy" Blythe was looking forward to a few hours off--a rare break from the touring grind--in which to explore the elegant, old city. However, a surreal scenario worthy of Kafka began to play out at the airport as Blythe was detained, arrested for manslaughter, and taken to PankráPrison--a notorious 123-year-old institution where the Nazis' torture units had set up camp during the German occupation of then-Czechoslovakia, and where today hundreds of prisoners are housed, awaiting trial and serving sentences in claustrophobic, sweltering, nightmare-inducing conditions. Two years prior, a 19-year-old fan died of injuries suffered at a lamb of god show in Prague, allegedly after being pushed off stage by Blythe, who had no vivid recollection of the incident. Stage-crashing and -diving being not uncommon occurrences, as any veteran of hard rock, metal, and punk shows knows, the concert that could have left him imprisoned for years was but a vague blur in Blythe's memory, just one of the hundreds of shows his band had performed over their decades-long career. At the time of his arrest Blythe had been sober for nearly two years, having finally gained the upper hand over the alcoholism that nearly killed him. But here he faced a new kind of challenge: jailed in a foreign land and facing a prison sentence of up to ten years. Worst of all, a young man was dead, and Blythe was devastated for him and his family, even as the reality of his own situation began to close in behind PankráPrison's glowering walls of crumbling concrete and razor wire. What transpired during Blythe's incarceration, trial, and eventual acquittal is a rock 'n' roll road story unlike any other, one that runs the gamut from tragedy to despair to hope and finally to redemption. While never losing sight of the sad gravity of his situation, Blythe relates the tale of his ordeal with one eye fixed firmly on the absurd (and at times bizarrely hilarious) circumstances he encountered along the way. Blythe is a natural storyteller and his voice drips with cutting humor, endearing empathy, and soulful insight. Much more than a tour diary or a prison memoir, Dark Days is D. Randall Blythe's own story about what went down--before, during, and after--told only as he can.

Disease Management

A Guide to Clinical Pharmacology

By: Michael D. Randall,Karen E. Neil

This is a clinical pharmacy textbook that applies pharmacology into practice using a holistic approach to the management, treatment and monitoring of various diseases. Pharmacy undergraduate teaching has been changing and evolving over the years to reflect the evolving role of the pharmacist. The undergraduate syllabus is moving more towards clinical pharmacy as the role of the pharmacist changes to more of a consultancy role involving patient care. This book has always aimed to address this change by applying pharmacology into clinical practice using a holistic approach. Taking common diseases by system, this book deals with the common therapeutic issues. Each section includes an outline/description of the disease, clinical features, pharmacology of therapeutics used to monitor the condition, treatment guidelines, interactions and counselling of the patient. Drug choice tables and interactions tables are included along with case studies, practice points and self-assessment questions.Following are the amendments for this new edition: all chapters are updated to include guidance; introduction chapter will be completely rewritten; it features major updates to responding to symptoms, lifestyle and adverse drug reaction chapters; it contains new chapters on Obesity and Parkinson's disease; more diagrams are added, including diagnostic flow charts/algorithms; and, it contains self assessment questions.

9/11/2001 The Day Patriotism was Hijacked

By: D Randall Ashcraft

Having been taught patriotic ideas from an early age, then having served in the military and taking the oath to “protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic” several times, the author has written this book after having to redefine his beliefs regarding “patriotism” based on new evidence he has encountered. In other words, his patriotism has evolved to the point of getting “back to the basics” regarding the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the foundation of American life, yet they have taken serious hits since, and because of 9/11/01. This book is an attempt to share with his fellow Americans things that have been, apparently, deliberately withheld from the general public regarding what really happened that day and why. One must admit that it is strange that we have always seemed to have an enemy, or a “boogeyman,” as Mobster Sam Giancana once related: “The Fat Cats were fully aware that Americans will do anything for Patriotism, hence, you always must provide them with a ‘boogeyman.’ They won’t overwork themselves just to make huge profits for ‘fat cats’ for any other reason, so new enemies always have to be found or created.” Wars are big business for a certain group of wealthy “elites” who value profits above human life. This book explores this inhumane idea and much, much more!
