The “butcher of Prague,” “hangman of the Gestapo,” and Heinrich Himmler’s right-hand man, Heydrich rose through Nazi ranks to direct the S.S. The Hangman and His Wife: The Life and Death of Reinhard Heydrich by Nancy Dougherty, edited and foreword by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt (Knopf) Dray, author of the excellent At the Hands of Persons Unknown: The Lynching of Black America, looks beyond the Mason-Dixon line and argues that the elements of racism and white supremacy that he has worked so hard to document must be challenged and that we cannot “look away from the connection between the nation’s lynching legacy and the recent resurgence of armed vigilantism in America.” Deeply immersed in the horrific history of lynching in America, this book exposes that this violence is not merely a Southern aberration, but rather deeply woven into the national culture.Ģ. In his fascinating, horrifying new book, Dray spotlights the 1892 lynching of Black teamster Robert Lewis, accused of sexually assaulting a white woman in Port Jervis, a small railroad town northwest of Manhattan.

Daemon, a man who has been sexually abused for centuries, uses his past to help the woman he loves through her own trauma. Lucivar (different spelling, but the same sort of character description with golden eyes and wings) is tortured, yet becomes a powerful leader, kind and willing to defend and love his family. As it turns out, she’s correct, and the people who live “normal” lives are the villains. The young Jaenelle Angeliene’s family thinks she’s “crazy,” talking about an imaginary world of winged people, unicorns, and dragons. The series also has an unusual way of dealing with trauma, using the horrific acts of the past as powerful motivators for good works in the future. Characters with names we know from religious stories - like Satan, Lucifer, and Daemon - are kind and just. Tropes about power and gender are turned on their heads throughout. ![]() Their male counterparts with magic serve them.

Top SNL sketches so far Every best picture Must-see music docs. Wayne Kramer lived his rock dream until it became a nightmare of drugs, jail and wasted opportunities. One of the most explosive live rock performances ever. Look up their live 1970 show at Wayne State university on YouTube. Wayne Kramer, legendary guitarist and co-founder of quintessential Detroit proto-punk legends The MC5, tells his story in The Hard Stuff. In his new book 'The Hard Stuff,' MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer recounts a life of heroin, cocaine and bad decisions in 1974 Detroit. Ferocious and political, they were almost too far ahead of their time. From the glory days of Detroit to the junk-sick streets of the East Village - in and out of prison and on and off drugs - this is the classic journeyman narrative, but with a twist: Kramer is here to remind us that revolution is always an option. Kramer's story is a revolutionary one, but it is also the deeply personal struggle of an addict and an artist. ![]() ![]() The band recorded three major label albums: but by 1972, it was all over. Kramer wanted to redefine what a rock 'n' roll group was capable of achieving - and there was power in reaching for that - but it was also a recipe for disaster, both personally and professionally. Led by legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer, The MC5 was a reflection of the times: exciting, sexy, violent, chaotic, and out of control, and all but assuring their time in the spotlight would be short-lived. ![]() The missing link between free jazz and punk rock, they were raw, primal, and unstoppable. In January 1969, before the world heard a note of their music, The MC5 was on the cover of Rolling Stone. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments The nonesuch heyer![]() Sir Waldo Hawkridge has been nicknamed Nonesuch by those of the Corinthian set, because he could do it all: drive, ride, shoot, fish, box, dress elegantly in an unobtrusive fashion suiting his splendid physique.
