Book Description
An angel spreads his wings. . . .
Sonny Barger is the number-one spokesman for the motorcycle experience. His New York Times bestseller, Hell's Angel, was an exhilarating history of his adventures with the world's most notorious motorcycle club. Now he brings us rousing, moving, and wildly entertaining true stories of his renegade brothers and sisters in the relentless pursuit of liberty, individuality, and the "ultimate ride."
And what stories he has to tell -- freewheeling, bare-knuckle tales of brawls and battles, brotherhood, breathtaking adventures, crazy quests, and the inevitable classic scrapes with "John Law." The most colorful legends and unforgettable characters of biker lore come alive in this book. In addition, celebrities like Steve McQueen, Johnny Paycheck, and David Crosby thunder through these pages in a sensational collection of rebel tales that runs the gamut from poignant and inspiring to thrilling and utterly outrageous.
Whether you ride, have never ridden, or dream of riding, Ridin' High, Livin' Free is a reading experience you won't soon forget -- a fascinating glimpse into a unique culture of freedom that recognizes only one commandment: the code of the road.

Ridin' High, Livin' Free: Hell-Raising Motorcycle Stories.......2007-07-19
I bought this book for my brother-in-law. So I had to ask him what he thought. He told me how much he enjoyed the book. So buy this book for anybody that is a biker or a biker at heart.
Stories from the road. .......2006-12-31
This isn't really a biography, but more of a collection of stories from Sonny Barger. A lot of them are very funny, and some of them are tales from the road that would make anyone want to hop on a motorcycle. The problem with this book is the introduction when Sonny Barger tells you that some of the stories may be true, and some of them may not be true. He leaves it up to you as you read, but either way the stories are fun to read, and some of them will have you laughing for quite awhile. He even goes outside of the Hell's Angels into other clubs he's aware of and other people he knows sharing stores from them, one of them was on the Dragons leader who was about to buy a Honda until his club members knocked on his door and asked him if it was true.

Not as good as the first.......2005-10-13
Book of short stories of members and events. Kinda left me wanting more.
Not as bad as some, worse than others.......2005-04-26
I was excited when this came out, as I was going through a bit of hero worship regarding bikers. Of course, now years later and a motorcyclist myself, my awe of this life-style has paled.
Barger has to be given credit for where it is due. He's managed to make money of the Hell's Angels for fifty years now. That's pretty impressive. And to be willing to openly discuss portions of his life in that society takes guts. However, this book falls short in many areas.
One, the few stories that relate to the Hell's Angels are over-the-top. It's just too hard to believe these exploits.
Two, the non-Hell's Angels stories aren't any better. The picture painted of bikers throughout this book is that they are greasy, dirty, smelly and disgusting. Even the women profiled here are portrayed as little more than tramps.
Three, we're subjected to Barger's attempt at fiction. Atleast it's only boring, unlike his actual fiction book (DEAD IN FIVE HEARTBEATS), which is a fictionalization of his autobiography with some preposterous action sequences thrown in.
So, if you're really into juvenille biker stories, this is up your alley. If not, but you want to explore this genre, there are plenty of better books available.
Book Description
On October 16, 1859, John Brown led a raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, leaving 15 people dead. Viewed in the North as a saint of freedom and in the South as the devil incarnate, Brown was a visionary who not only foretold but made inevitable the bloody apocalypse of the Civil War. An intricate mosaic of alternating voices, Raising Holy Hell is an explosive, multi-textured evocation of the visionary madness of the man who saw an America damned by the sin of slavery.
Customer Reviews:
Historical fiction at its unconventional best.......2006-06-20
Taking on such a controversial subject as John Brown and portraying his tumultuous life, times, deeds and death in any form let alone in an engaging and objective manner would seem an impossible task, but Olds succeeds brlliantly in this novel. I won't bog down this review with the story line - it's been told and reviewed many times. I will make a note on the "format" of the book - it's somewhat unique to say the least. There are multiple first person narratives, quotes from historical figures and short vignettes, as well as an imaginary court scene with Mr. Brown. Don't be dismayed. This doesn't detract from the book. To the contrary, when one finishes this novel it all makes perfect sense. If you have an interest in John Brown, his place in history, abolition, the Civil War or just want to read a fine novel you won't be disappointed with this book.
A very important book.......2006-04-14
In Raising Holy Hell, his novel about John Brown, Bruce Olds makes the reader ask: How should a person act if directly faced with the inhuman system of slavery that brutalised and killed millions? And, more uncomfortably, could extreme individual violence as exemplified by John Brown's actions be justified in seeking to hasten the end of slavery years before the advent of the American civil war? While vividly imagining through diary entries and historical documents the personality of John Brown and his impact on those who knew him, as a reader who just happened to stumble on this remarkable book I am most grateful to Mr. Olds for bringing into focus and making real the myriad repercussions that slavery had on our society and the individuals it affected. He does justice to real people whom he lets speak to us through his novel (apart, perhaps, from his portrait of Abraham Lincoln), including, among others, Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Perhaps most shocking are the inclusion of statements by judges and various "founding fathers" of the USA in support of slavery. Highly recommended for anyone interested in these human questions or this historical period. A remarkable book that also causes the reader to reevaluate their own response to present-day issues which are even now costing the lives of thousands.
get this book and read it.......2002-07-13
....
you will never forget this book after reading it. this book should never go out of print. because of the subject. and because of the style of writing. it is quite simply,
fantastic.
Nothing less than terrific.......2001-11-28
An astonishing retelling of the life of John Brown. I selected this book for my book group after having listened to Banks' "Cloudsplitter" on BOT. I had read a few reviews of that book post hoc only to find that many critics cited this text as superior. I would say that the experience of listening, rather than reading, to Banks' book likely boosts my appraisal as I thought it was brilliant in its expanse, detail and imagination. As for Olds' work, it reads as though one is living through the time in a dream-like state. The wickedness and cruelty that is frequently attributed to "historical context" is brought to bear so that it is difficult to fathom how we look back at our American history as somehow noble and founded on justice. As for the man, John Brown, it was a serendipitous reading choice given the current state of world affairs. When resistance is linked to terrorism, the results are necessarily unpredicatable and frightening, regardless of the outcome.
Cloudtopper.......2001-05-27
Russell Banks's "Cloudsplitter" may have garnered higher sales, but Bruce Olds's Pulitzer Prize nominated debut novel, while unjustly neglected by readers, received more positive reviews, and deservedly so. Where Banks's wholly conventional treatment of the life of John Brown remains turgidly earthbound, Olds's more innovative take soars with incandescent energy. Where Banks's book plods, Olds's pulses with brute lyricism. Where Banks drones excessively, Olds incants extravagantly. At last, "Cloudsplitter" implodes of its own portentousness and gravity; "Raising Holy Hell" explodes with the raw power of its poetry. It is the difference between being sucked down a black hole, and riding the wave of a supernova. Which reading experience would you rather have?

It's always a pleasure to find a book of history so well written that I lose track of time while I'm reading it. Masello has collected the exploits of prominent sorcerers and alchemists, secret societies, rituals and key tools of black magic, without sinking into a subjective analysis of the morality of these occult arts.
Customer Reviews:
Pretty good book..........2005-10-18
This is a very good resource for occult study. It's a variable who's who of the occult world, giving the histories of some of the greats of magick. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is due to the fact that the title is a little misleading. This book actually had very few "black magicians" and instead covers just about anyone who matters in the occult world. A must read.
keeping the details to a bare minimum.......2004-06-08
Raising Hell: A Concise History of the Black Arts and Those Who Dared Practice Them by Robert Masello is an concise but comprehensive overview of the history of occult arts throughout the centuries, filled with interesting stories and creative characters in search of power beyond their control. The book is divided into several distinct sections, each dealing with a specific aspect of the occult arts, giving the reader a wonderful glimpse into the powers which lie in the great beyond. Although it makes mention of numerous sources and reference material, by keeping the details to a bare minimum he only serves to wet one's whistle on the nature of his survey, making readers want to delve deeper into regions unknown. A great start for people interested in the occult but don't know where to start.
Not bad but..........2004-01-13
Not a bad book to begin with, but not something that is going to interest people above 'apprentice' level. The extensive bibliography has some good suggetions. Decent. I recommend it as a starting place for only for serious students. The only people I wouldn't recommend it to are those who confuse witchcraft (not a religion) for Wicca (a religion) (we don't want to offend those who want to white wash 'magic' and the occult).
I recommend anything by R. Cavendish as a better read.
another author confuses Satanism with Witchcraft.......2004-01-05
Although this book has a lot of documented information about magicians and Satanists, it continues the widespread belief in the United States that Satanism and Witchcraft are the same religion. Over and over again, Masello interchanges the terms of devil worship and witchcraft. In so doing, he encourages the same beliefs that caused the burning times earlier in our history. As a witch, I was extremely offended by the author's comparing me to people who call down demons to do evil. Witches do not believe in a devil or demons, neither do they cast spells or make potions in order to do evil to another. Witchcraft teaches followers to bless others and to do good. Please do not read this book thinking you are getting honest information about witches and witchcraft. The information maybe true, but it is true only of people who worship the devil.
Not a bad start.......2003-03-29
This book is a great resource for anyone who is just starting his or her study of the history of black magick. It gives an overview of some of the darker practices and the bigger personalities involved. I give it three stars because only half the book is really about black magick. The rest is about occult practices that I don't believe fall under the heading, such as alchemy, divination and dream interpretation. It would have been nice if Masello had used that space to go into more detail about what the magicians actually did, but it is still an interesting historical study of the occult.

"
The year is 1978. Saturday Night Fever is breaking box office records. All over America kids are racing home to watch Dance Fever, Michael Jackson is poised to become the next major pop star, and in Hollis, Queens, fourteen-year-old Darryl McDaniels -- who will one day go by the name D.M.C. -- busts his first rhyme: ""Apple to the peach, cherry to the plum. Don't stop rocking till you all get some."" Darryl's friend Joseph Simmons -- now known as Reverend Run -- thinks Darryl's rhyme is pretty good, and he becomes inspired. Soon the two join forces with a DJ -- Jason ""Jam Master Jay"" Mizell -- and form Run-D.M.C. Managed by Run's brother, Russell Simmons, the trio, donning leather suits, Adidas sneakers, and gold chains, become the defiant creators of the world's most celebrated and enduring hip-hop albums -- and in the process, drag rap music from urban streets into the corporate boardroom, profoundly changing everything about popular culture and American race relations.
Through candid, original interviews and exclusive details about the group's extraordinary rise to the top -- and its mortal end brought on by the tragic murder in 2002 of Jam Master Jay -- Raising Hell tells of Run-D.M.C.'s epic story, including the rivalries with jealous peers, their mentoring of such legendary artists as the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, and the battles with producers, record executives, and one another. Ronin Ro delivers a meticulously researched, compellingly written, affecting behind-the-music tale of family, friendship, betrayal, murder, and the building of the culture and industry known as hip-hop.

the best rap group..... still !!.......2007-07-18
my 1st love was rap music back in the late 80`s early 90`.rap was new, and
ground breaking.on day a friend of mine came at my house with a new album he had baught.... raising hell from run dmc.this is one of my best album still today.this book explaines every thing, from russel simmons to rick rubin and from beastie boy to ll cool j (all of them was signed by or produce by def jam) i read this book in 2 days and when i finished, i almost cried.1st because i realised that im 34 years old and that all
this music was going on at the same time i was groing up (i feel i was part of something) 2nd is that i realised (again) that rap today has nothing to do with run dmc public enemy etc etc. i still weir my addidas shell toes with pride.
Exhiliarating, Interesting, thought-provoking, and sad even.......2007-03-04
I'm pretty perceptive when it comes to scoping out the right books to read (i.e. whether or not it's actually worth the time & money).
This one was another great page-turner!
Particularly for fans of hip hop music, those who came of age before the genre crossed over to the mainstream, and also for music fans who've probably heard countless great tales from the industry that are starting to come off like a broken record.
"Raising Hell: The Reign, Ruin and Redemption of Run DMC" is a book title that could very easily read "Raising Hell: The Reign & Ruin of Run DMC."
I said that because for as much as I loved this group growing up and still love what they achieved circa-1985 and their place in moving the genre forward, the book did a lot to burst my bubble (so to speak) on what remains an iconic group.
Without giving away the juicy details of the book, Run DMC should be credited for their historic, innovative stylings.
Coming off the more glossy hip hop infancy of blinged out artists like Kurtis Blow, Afrika Bambaataa, Grand Master Flash & the Furious Five, it was Run DMC who made it cool to "just be yourself" without all the celebrity, wearing-your-wealth-on-your-sleeves images.
It was Run DMC who (at the time) came with a more deviantly hardcore hip hop sound (read: not your commercially-friendly, R&B-type rap music).
And it was Run DMC who helped the hip hop culture grow the most in the mid-80s by experimenting with a slight rock&roll flavor that became their signature sound while expanding hip hop's fanbase.
Where this book may surprise you is hearing all the behind the scenes tales of (now Rev.) Run, DMC and Jam Master Jay -- at least it all surprised me b/c they weren't always true to their music images.
Jam Master Jay (may he rest in peace) is presented as the cool, laid back brotha who stayed runnin' in the streets. You won't find out anything more than theories about who his killer might be, but just finding out he at least ran with more than his share of greasy cats even into his 30s will make you wonder if that didn't play some small part in his demise (i.e. He didn't deserve to die but this wasn't just some random act of violence as the media initially tried to portray it).
Perhaps a little less surprising is the book's portrayal of Run (the group's leader) as this egotistical, control freak who refused to compromise and even as a born again Christian remains a shady, alcohol-overconsuming man of the world posing as a disciple of the Lord.
DMC, my personal favorite of the group, comes off as perhaps the group member with the most issues.
The book paints him as this slightly introverted pushover who stomached Run's ego trips back in the day during the group's run at the top and one who didn't grow a backbone until their best days had passed them by (thus all the tales of the turmoil, hatred and conflict that defined Run DMC's circa-2000 comeback).
And yet with all of the aforementioned flaws (we all have some!), the most disgusting part of these behind the scenes tales all involve the way Run and DMC reacted to JMJ's murder.
The only specific detail of this book I will divulge is that Run and DMC came off as spiritually unchanged by their best friend's death and more concerned with how to exploit it for money in the same vein TuPac and Biggie's deaths were milked for cash.
Great read but depending on what perspective you're coming from and what image you have of this group, this may or may not be recommended material.
By the end of "Raising Hell," I can't say I lost any respect for them as a whole.
But I guess it's a lot easier to keep their immense accomplishments in context while also acknowledging their utter human qualities and inevitable sameness with most who survive to tell about their music industry experiences (i.e. drugs, sex, some good times & lots of shady dealings).
A must read for 80's rap fanatics.......2006-06-14
I really enjoyed reading this book. Run-DMC is a group I grew up listening to (even attended 2 of there concerts back in the day). The book provides interesting information about Run-DMC's golden era as well as Def Jam's founders Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin. Although the book sometimes portray's Run and Russell Simmons in a negative way, it still does not change my respect for what they accomplished with Run-DMC and HipHop as a whole.
Interesting Facts; Mediocre Writing.......2006-02-02
If you love old school rap, you'll enjoy reading the interesting facts that Ro presents in this comprehensive presentation about the Kings of Rock, RUN DMC. However, I wouldn't exactly call Ronin Ro a story teller. I thought his writing lacked a compelling story line, so if you're not a RUN DMC/old school fan you'll have a hard time getting through the book. It's more like a chronological presentation of facts. The little nuggets about the relationships of the old school players and the songs they mastered is what will get you through it (for example, why LL Cool J's song "Rock the Bells" does not have bells in it). The book did change my view of RUN DMC, especially Reverend Run and Russel Simmons, although not necessarily for the better.
a Great read.......2005-12-31
now on the real I was more of a Whodini Fan back in the day than Run DMC,but having said that Run DMC was the first Mega SuperStar Rap Group&Act that truly was mainstream&made you take notice."Peter Piper",it's like that,King of Rock,Mary,mary&then later Down with the King were some of my jams from those Cats. they had there own Image.they were rocking Sneakers way before alot of NBA Cats had gotten Shoe deals.matter of fact they were rocking Adias right around the time Michael Jordan's Air Jordan's were just starting to take off.Run DMC was a rare act back in the day of Hip-Hop in that they were making albums after albums where as alot of Acts were ran off the road after a couple of albums.they were very influential.LL Cool J,Dr.dre,Ice Cube,Hammer,Nelly,Snoop,-Outkast,50 cent, all owe Run DMC alot of Props for paving the way.this Book takes you back to a time when Hip-Hop was still cracking into the mainstream&all the Politics involved.these cats were multi tasking back in a time period when alot of these Record Companys didn't know much about marketing Rap Music let alone product endorsing things.this is a must read all the way.

grand overview of Satanic Crime.......2007-01-24
Good reference book that helps clue you in that there is usually much more to the "official" stories.
Also read David McGowans "Programmed to Kill" and "the Franklin Cover-Up"
Encyclopedia Describes Exactly What It Says It Does.......2002-02-16
This book, while unfortunately not as "encyclopedic" as I'd like, does exactly what it says: Under a fairly complete list of headings of modern societies, people, places, and concepts, this book does its best to list links with Satanic worship and crime. With societies such as the Ku Klux Klan, for example, even though they had practically nothing to do with satanism, Michael Newton lists those minor links that do exist in a factual, unbiased sense.
Included are L. Ron Hubbard's strong ties with Aleister Crowley, the origins of Wicca as it was in the 1950s and today, the actual American Church of Satan and its origins, and the various serial murders and other idiots who proclaimed themselves inspired by Satanic powers.
A list of actual cases that link Dungeons and Dragons with Satan worship or demonic possession is there--and Michael Newton actually states at the end of the D&D entry that most of these people had serious problems to begin with and were simply attracted to the game. I think this is quite admirable, considering the hate-mongering so prevalent in non-academic style works these days.
An enjoyable book, and chances are that information about what you're looking for is in here somewhere.
Jumbled, error-filled attempt at "shock"-tabloid style........1998-10-08
Yet another by-the-numbers effort (or lack of such) that attempts to provide an all-round view of Satanism and alleged crimes committed in the name thereof. The content of this book is sadly lacking -- much of the data long outdated, and it seems that the author has just thrown in any old thing into it that bears even the most tenuous link to "Satanism" or the "Occult" (e.g. the Ku Klux Klan were neither!). This 400+ page volume has no practical value for anyone wishing to learn anything of significance about either Satanism or the occult -- rather it is a collection of jumbled entries evidently trying to focus mainly on the more "shocking" elements of juvenile devil-worship and neo-pagan or esoteric societies (much of it inaccurate). Serious readers should avoid this turkey like the plague.
Book Description
A revelatory, alarming, urgent and fiercely witty essay on the many wrong ways in which our food is produced-what it all means and what can be done about it
In Raising Less Corn, More Hell George B. Pyle shows us how the famous breadbasket of America is being bought up by large corporations, who produce less food per acre than the small farmer, push those farmers further into debt, pollute the earth and wear out the soil, and even license the very stuff of life: grain and seed. Meanwhile those farmers are promised a better future if they play ball with the corporations, but caught between the brutal new market and antiquated government support systems, they are forced to grow too much of the wrong crops-crops that will be fed to animals who cannot tolerate them, shipped as dubious"aid" to struggling countries, drive the farmer's take-home pay ever downward, and make us all fatter.
Pyle, native Kansan and editorialist for the Salt Lake Tribune, delivers a powerful, learned and lively attack on the status quo and shows us how unless we take a close look at our larder-right now-we risk turning much of rural America into a permanent environmental and economic wasteland. We are feeding ourselves and the rest of the world too much trash, he says, at environmental, ecological, and even security costs that are too high to pay.
Book Description
It's tougher than ever to be a teenager these days. Our young people are influenced by everything from divorce and teenage violence to a host of peer pressures that can bombard them daily. More than ever, teens are hungry for-and in need of-sound direction and guidance from their parents. It can be equally as challenging for parents to know how to communicate with their teenagers about such delicate subjects. Through short and concise chapters, Curtis addresses such issues as laying a spiritual foundation for your family, developing self worth within your child, handling outside influences, discipline within the home, handling problem behavior, as well as proper guidance for the young adult.
