Such a Great Slice of LA History

Revisado: 04-07-23

The story was well written with a good amount of history. It made me want to open Spotify and listen to all the great music that was happening at the time and Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward were at the cross-section of a lot of this music, the art scene, movies, fashion snd do much more. I enjoyed being back in the 60’s!

A Fun Read for History, Film, TV and Music lovers

Revisado: 05-26-21

I recommend this book and it’s a flowing and informative read. I stopped to listen to music, research people and to watch a few old shows. Lots happened at an interesting time. And these creators influenced a generation and then some! Refresh. Learn for the first time. Enjoy the knowledge and info.

Will listen to a few chapters again as they were so compelling and involving bands and shows I liked!

We ALL Have so Much Work and Learning

Revisado: 06-12-20

I got this book a little over a month ago and it was in my queue but I moved it up. It just needed to be read now.

At first I was uncomfortable about the author being a white woman but as I went thru the book, I realized as a white woman, I get everything and every example as I have lived in an all too white world.

Many of my thoughts now take on a deeper or wider view. Example, feeling like I am not a racist. I get the danger of thinking or ever saying this out loud now.

I am here to listen and learn and this is one of a number of books that I have read on racism, social justice and American History and there are many others that I will dig into soon.

A Good Read to Inspire Change

Revisado: 05-18-20

I found ‘Manifesto’ a quick and easy read. Many case-like stories that help make the point. A very global look and how to address big challenges and come together to make change. Good for the person thinking about how to help their immediate community or their country.
A good dose of inspiration!

Was happily surprised!

Revisado: 05-06-20

I liked this book so much more than I anticipated. And I’m grateful it took me by surprise. It’s not normally the kind of book I read but it was easy to just glide through. Short chapters. Peppy stories. It all felt real and honest. Timely. Little kernels to chew on. Why not celebrate life, love, change and personal growth.

It’s much better with Glennon’s voice in your head vs another reader.

Each chapter wraps a little to near for me, but I will take what I need from this book and that is the gift!

White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America - Read it!

Revisado: 12-31-16

To understand America and especially after the election of Donald Trump, White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America is a must read. The history of our country is not long, but we continue to struggle with class and race. This book is a fairly linear look at where we started and how we got to this point, still having such severe hate issues stemming from race and class struggles. I wish every Trump voter would read this book, and Trump himself. It's the 'white trash' in America that needs to look inside their situations and help make this country less divided. Own your history white Americans and make changes before we drive this country into the ground.

Epic is right!

Revisado: 12-09-16

This is such an amazing book and it is very well researched. I feel it should be required reading for all those wanting to understand the history of the US. Thank you for this brilliant work.
