(Book). Bad Reputation is the unexpurgated story of Joan Jett, the
single most exciting rocker of the American 1980s, one of the
biggest-selling acts of the age, and one of punk rock's most valued
elder statespeeps. Through its pages, a welter of exclusive
interviews and observations paint what might well be the last great
tale of rock hedonism, but one that comes with a twist in its tail.
The rockers are women, the groupies are guys. It could have been
the plot line for a movie or even a sitcom, but the Runaways,
Jett's first band, made it happen, and Jett made it last. The first
serious female rocker of the 1980s, Jett became the template for
everyone that followed. But unlike so many of her peers and
counterparts, she never lost her credibility, never sold out, and
never gave up. And she has backed her reputation up with genuine
star power, following the chart-topping "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" one
of the most played '80s anthems of all time with "Crimson and
Clover," "Do You Wanna Touch Me," and "I Hate Myself for Loving
You" before the decade ended. And, while the 1990s saw Jett
purposefully step away from the spotlight, she remained, and
remains, America's number one Queen of Noise.
Steve Pitkin has worked with the Fender Custom Shop since 1995,
photographing the most incredibly crafted guitars built in America.
There is something special about the Custom Shop and the people who
work there they love their work and they know their work is loved.
These craftsmen are true mojo makers, building each guitar with
artistic expression, skill, and innovation. They do this while
holding true to Fender s time honoured traditions and working in
close collaboration with musicians who rely on these instruments to
create their art in a musical form. Each page of this book is made
to be interactive, from the highly detailed photographs to the text
on their edges. You will discover something new on every page as a
window of discovery opens, encouraging your imagination to dream of
a masterpiece when it is held in your hands.
Guitars inspire cult-like devotion: an aficionado can tell you
precisely when and where their favorite instrument was made, the
wood it is made from, and that wood's unique effect on the
instrument's sound. In The Guitar, Chris Gibson and Andrew Warren
follow that fascination around the globe as they trace guitars all
the way back to the tree. The authors take us to guitar factories,
port cities, log booms, remote sawmills, Indigenous lands, and
distant rainforests, on a quest for behind-the-scenes stories and
insights into how guitars are made, where the much-cherished guitar
timbers ultimately come from, and the people and skills that craft
those timbers along the way. Gibson and Warren interview hundreds
of people to give us a first-hand account of the ins and outs of
production methods, timber milling, and forest custodianship in
diverse corners of the world, including the Pacific Northwest,
Madagascar, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Japan, China, Hawaii, and
Australia. They unlock surprising insights into longer arcs of
world history: on the human exploitation of nature, colonialism,
industrial capitalism, cultural tensions, and seismic upheavals.
But the authors also strike a hopeful note, offering a parable of
wider resonance-of the incredible but underappreciated skill and
care that goes into growing forests and felling trees, milling
timber, and making enchanting musical instruments, set against the
human tendency to reform our use (and abuse) of natural resources
only when it may be too late. The Guitar promises to resonate with
anyone who has ever fallen in love with a guitar.
