A no-holds-barred memoir from the primary architect of hip hop and one of the culture's most revered music icons—both the tale of his life and legacy and a testament to dogged determination. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five fomented the musical revolution known as hip hop. Theirs was a groundbreaking union between one DJ and five rapping MCs. One of the first hip hop posses, they were responsible for such masterpieces as “The Message” and “Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel.” In the 1970s Grandmaster Flash pioneered the art of break-beat DJing—the process of remixing and thereby creating a new piece of music by playing vinyl records and turntables as musical instruments. Disco-era DJs spun records so that people could dance. The original turntablist, Flash took it a step further by cutting, rubbing, backspinning, and mixing records, focusing on “breaks”—what Flash described as “the short, climactic parts of the records that really grabbed me”—as a way of heightening musical excitement and creating something new. Now the man who paved the way for such artists as Jay-Z, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, and 50 Cent tells all—from his early days on the mean streets of the South Bronx, to the heights of hip hop stardom, losing millions at the hands of his record label, his downward spiral into cocaine addiction, and his ultimate redemption with the help and love of his family and friends. In this powerful memoir, Flash recounts how music from the streets, much like rock ’n’ roll a generation before, became the sound of an era and swept a nation with its funk, flavor, and beat.
Now includes new material, MAXTREME UPDATED EPILOGUE. It is time to bring to the world’s attention the modern Australian bogan. The word is still associated with flannelette, VB, utes and mullets. This is WRONG. The word bogan needs to be reassessed. Meet the nouveau-bogue. The modern bogan. Today’s bogan defies income, class, race, creed, gender, religion and logic. For better or worse, Australia is contending with a different beast from the Paul Hogan bogan. This is a bogan with money. A bogan with aspirations. A bogan with Ed Hardy t-shirts. The new bogan will not rest until it owns a plasma TV so large that Two and a Half Men gets rounded up to three. Things Bogans Like is a landmark sociological publication and, far more importantly, essential reading for anyone who has ever bought a Buddhist-themed water feature, a four-litre energy drink or watched Today Tonight. This book is judge and jury of what it is to be a bogan in the twenty-first century. Brace your ego for some tough love. 'Most comics are worried about looking like snobs and so this rich vein has been largely untapped. These blokes dive in fearlessly and the result is the funniest thing in Australia right now.' Tony Martin

Sometimes, some of us are chosen and we are given endeavors to accomplish before we are even born. I have actually looked upon the face of Thee Lord God. I have actually been within the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have seen the Armageddon of this world to unfold in the future. These experiences are neither manifestation of my imagination nor daydreams of fantasies. I have also seen a host of other beings throughout the universal construct of existence. The works that I have brought to fruition entail new perspectives on personal revelations of Thee Lord God, Thee Grim Reaper, The Future of Mankind, The Afterlife, The End of Days, Demons, Angels, other Gods, Souls, The Heavens, Hades, Lucifer, The Devil, Satan, other Life forms, Jesus Christ and much more, all of which were experienced through RCV, Meditation, Quantum Viewing, and Dreams. Salvation of Everyone's Soul is Paramount because the Son of Man is upon us and the future is lurking in wait. This will prove to be a very thrilling read.

This is not a story about someone who grew up around boats and made a miraculous voyage across open oceans. (Think Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebie, Ballentine 1991.) Actually this is a story about an older burned out, Hollywood cab driver with no experience who didnt get into boating till he was forty five. This is the story of a dream realized and the learning experience it became.
This is my intro to the world of art. I’m a strong believer that any form of poetry, is artwork at its best. On every one of these pages you’ll find a different story, a different feeling, and a different lesson. You’ll find happiness, and strength, love and hate, as well as sadness and failure. During my creative process, I’ve found writing to be a tool in which allows us to be anyone, think anything, and feel as deeply as you wish with no limitations. I only hope that each person has a chance to experience the depths that writing can take you. I would like to thank all the people that I’ve spoken with who shared their stories with me. I would also like to extend that thank you to the people who sat down and gave me some words of advice. I appreciate your support and I appreciate all the lessons. I love the entire human race and hope you can enjoy these poems created from many different experiences throughout this lifetime.
