”Jag har inget till övers för glamour. Det känns som en löjlig sak att sträva efter. Jag kunde inte bry mig mindre. Ett par rena skor borde räcka alldeles utmärkt.” - David BowieI dessa intervjuer, sammanförda från hela hans sagolika karriär – däribland hans första vid sexton års ålder, liksom hans sista decennier senare – diskuterar David Bowie sin barndom i södra Londons tuffa kvarter, låtskrivande, hans problem med drogmissbruk, Andy Warhols inflytande, sexualitet, hans filmer, mode, samarbetet med Brian Eno, vänskapen med John Lennon, med mera. Ständigt lika välformulerad, och med en intelligens lika skarp som hans tunga, visar Bowie här varför han i alla lägen betraktades som före sin tid – både som konstskapare och kulturell kommentator.” Han var underbart skamlös i sitt skapande” - Mick Jagger”Så orädd, så kreativ. Han gav oss magi för en livstid.” - Kanye West”En verkligt stor artist, ljuvlig melodiskapare och elegant gentleman.” - Elvis Costello

"The real power behind whatever success I have now was something I found within myself--something that's in all of us, I think, a little piece of God just waiting to be discovered." -Tina Turner The monumental bestseller, the classic memoir, here is the dramatic and spectacular story of an American music icon--Tina Turner. From small town Nutbush, Tennessee to Hollywood stardom, to global icon. In her life Tina Turner saw it, suffered it, and survived it all. In I, Tina--the inspiration for the Academy Award-nominated motion picture What's Love Got to Do with It--the legend tells her story how she lived it. An honest account of the beloved superstar's struggle and pain, but also glory and triumph, Turner's is one of the most fascinating and dramatic true stories in show business history. Spanning decades, from her childhood to her abusive marriage to Ike Turner to the ever-evolving musical genius that endeared her to generations of fans, I, Tina is a powerful memoir of a powerful woman who became one of music's most prolific and beloved icons.

The former Rolling Stone writer and MTV host takes off from classic Roger Ebert and sails boldly into the new millennium. Millions grew up reading the author's record reviews and watching him on MTV's "The Week in Rock." In this collection of more than 200 movie reviews from MTV.com and, more recently, the Reason magazine Website, plus sidebars exclusive to this volume, Loder demonstrates his characteristic wry voice and finely honed observations. The author shines when writing on the best that Hollywood and indie filmmakers have to offer, and his negative reviews are sometimes more fun than his raves. This freewheeling survey of the wild, the wonderful and the altogether otherwise is an indispensable book for any film buff.
