Love And Fire

"This second edition of I Love a Fire Fighter is, like the first, intended to raise awareness of the psychological consequences of being a fire service family. It is my objective to describe the subtle and obvious ways the demands of this unique occupation spill over to home and to suggest strategies that you-as a parent, a child, a sibling, a spouse, a friend, or a significant other-can use to manage the spillover and/or learn to live with it"--

As Vanity, co-owner of a multi-million dollar marketing firm, approached “middle age” she was feeling the tension from all angles. Vanity viewed herself as an overweight woman with a marriage slowly...OK, let’s stops kidding, a marriage crumbling like a cookie under her feet and her nest was empty. Her life was again empty. These days, excitement came from signing new deals and living her fantasy relationship vicariously through her best friend Nicole. ​ When a wealthy restaurateur (Dexter McKnight) came to Vegas, he not only brought a multi-million dollar deal with him, he also brought passion and purpose for life to Vanity. Dexter walked into her life and turned her world upside down, he gave to her soul feelings she thought she had lived lifetimes ago and at this stage, too old to explore. ​ Vanity and Dexter connected in a timeless way, both seeming to be in search of each other without knowing the search was for each other. From Dexter’s first touch, came an awakening of Vanity’s mind, body and soul. There was no going back! Was this a deep need for lust or love, was it a desire that only Dexter could satisfy? The flame lit, Vanity intended for it to burn...and burn it did..

A vivid, dramatic account of how half a dozen kinds of modern music--punk rock, art rock, disco, salsa, rap, minimalist classical--emerged in new forms and cross-pollinated all at once in the middle seventies in NYC. Punk rock and hip-hop. Disco and salsa. The loft jazz scene and the downtown composers known as Minimalists. In the mid-1970s, New York City was a laboratory where all the major styles of modern music were reinvented—block by block, by musicians who knew, admired, and borrowed from one another. Crime was everywhere, the government was broke, and the infrastructure was collapsing. But rent was cheap, and the possibilities for musical exploration were limitless. Will Hermes's Love Goes to Buildings on Fire is the first book to tell the full story of the era's music scenes and the phenomenal and surprising ways they intersected. From New Year's Day 1973 to New Year's Eve 1977, the book moves panoramically from post-Dylan Greenwich Village, to the arson-scarred South Bronx barrios where salsa and hip-hop were created, to the lower Manhattan lofts where jazz and classical music were reimagined, to ramshackle clubs like CBGB and the Gallery, where rock and dance music were hot-wired for a new generation.
