the strategy'll put you to sleep... soundly.......2000-07-01
Bill Staton's strategy is about as boring as the old Power Sweep of Lombardi's Green Bay, and USC's "Student Body Right" some decades ago...
It's also just as effective.
Finally, something that makes sense........1999-03-19
I have read more financial advice books than I care to count and this book was the one that finally made sense to me. I have been floundering around, investing here and there, without a feeling of actually knowing what I was doing. Mr. Staton's methods are a great comfort to new investors, especially those with limited funds. It takes the guesswork out of wondering whether you're investing in a solid company or one that will fold before you have a chance to make a profit. Mr. Staton lists hundreds of companies that have stood the test of time and you can feel comfortable investing in any one of them. I found his book to be easy to follow, with a lot of solid and practical advice. I feel as though I finally have a real investment plan. This book is a treat for long-term investors and for those who are new to the investing universe.
Move up to America's Finest.......1998-10-27
Bill Staton shows you how to say goodbye to the fund managers that cost you money each time they buy and sell in your mutual fund. Buy your own good stocks and hold them forever as Warren Buffett would tell you to do. Balance your portfolio each time you buy using Bill Staton's guidelines. A child can use this method, and Bill shows this it in some of his examples. Buy it and prosper.
Staton provides a simple, rational investment plan........1998-08-28
This book provided me with a rational approach to picking stocks. It avoids technical analysis, and focuses simply on companies with at least 10 years of increasing dividends OR earnings per share. My only criticism is the lack of explanation of how high vs low dividend stocks will affect performance. In other words, he says pick randomly from his universe, irrespective of PE or dividend, and expect to beat the S&P 500. However he does emphasize industry diversification, and regular reinvestments.

Good but not great.......2004-05-15
There are some good basic concepts and drills, but it doesn't go deep enough on many levels. And Braden constantly refers to things that the pros do in situations, and since the pros are not likely this book's audience, should give what club players should do as well. For example, he indicates that a club player could return the serve using a short angled slice ball, but that many pros use a hard top spin return. The pros don't use the slice ball that often as another pro could easily read it coming and make mince meat out of it, not so at the club level. This would have been a perfect opportunity to capitalize on the avg club players weaknesses while empowering the avg club return of serve and go into detail about the slice return and how useful it would be. He talks only superficially about defending against the lob and foot work--areas that should get more attention in a doubles book for club players. The black and white photos in the book could be better as well. Many of them showing partners out of position (return of serve partern at the net or not facing the net man, etc.) Perhap at the very beginner level, this book has a place. I do agree with the previous reviewer that he keeps things light and fun to read.
Excellent strategy tips........1999-07-12
My doubles partner and I read this book together and we won 30% more of our matches from then on. Also, Vic Braden's sense of humor makes the book a quick read and entertaining.
Book Description
Wiglaf 's latest assignment for the DSA school paper is to write an in-depth article about the headmaster: Who is the real Mordred de Marvelous? Wiglaf, with help from his buddy Angus, decides the best way to learn all about the headmaster is to follow him around school for a day. But when the boys overhear Mordred and his scout, Yorick, whispering about "twins," "kidnapped!" and "gold," they decide to investigate and end up getting much, MUCH more than a newspaper story.
Book Description
In June of 1992, when all the polls showed that Bill Clinton didn't have a chance, he took his saxophone onto the Arsenio Hall show, put on dark glasses, and blew "Heartbreak Hotel." Greil Marcus, one of America's most imaginative and insightful popular culture critics, was the first to name this as the moment that turned Clinton's campaign around-and to make sense of why. Double Trouble draws on articles Marcus published from 1992 to 2000 to explore the remarkable and illuminating kinship between Bill Clinton and Elvis Presley-and, moreover, to explore how culture is made and shared in today's America and how, through culture, people remake themselves.Double Trouble is a unique and essential book about the final years of the twentieth century. This edition also includes a new essay Marcus wrote just before the 2000 presidential election: an eerily prescient piece that looks forward to two very different futures for ex-President Bill Clinton.

Connecting the dots in 20th century pop culture.......2001-10-16
Although his subject matter (from the promised Clinton/Elvis thing to Kurt Cobain, Bob Dylan, Whitewater and more) is diverse and entertaining, Marcus takes an academic tone that sometimes failed to draw me in.
Still, he's well versed in politics and pop culture, and able to draw thought-provoking connections between seemingly disparate topics. Marcus is master of the insightful bizarre trivia detail - like the fact that Clinton-accuser Paula Jones' husband played the ghost of Elvis in the 1989 movie "Mystery Train". Like music, sometimes it feels forced, and sometimes it all comes together.
As someone who remembers Cobain much more clearly than Elvis, I found the book was a great crash course in some of the themes that influenced both today's rock stars and politicians.
As rock/pop culture criticism, it actually makes an interesting companion piece for the Lester Bangs anthology I just finished reading ("Psychotic Reactions & Carburator Dung" - interestingly enough, it was edited by Marcus, Bangs' former Creem cohort). Except that Bangs puts a lot more passion into his rants, while Marcus seems determined to stand back and make observations. Ultimately, that tone left me standing on the sidelines as well.
Clinton As Elvis? I Don't Think So........2001-06-09
In Double Trouble: Bill Clinton And Elvis Presley In A Land Of No Alternatives, Greil Marcus examines a metaphor suggested by, among others, filmmaker Oliver Stone and New York Times columnist Frank Rich: Bill Clinton as Elvis Presley. Woven in & out of this central thread are the stories of other Americans living in the spotlight during the Clinton years: among them, Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Allen Ginsberg, and Hillary Clinton. It's an interesting idea, and certainly (on the face of it, at least) no less tenable a springboard for a book than the theses that any of Marcus' other books are based on. There's only one small problem: it doesn't wash.
The quality of Marcus' writing isn't an issue here: stylistically, I'd put him up against anyone working today, and his erudition remains astonishing (reading him, I frequently find myself asking: "Is there a book this guy HASN'T read? A piece of music he HASN'T heard?"). Nor is it the individual chapters: many of them are great - opening up vistas in music, films, and politics you hadn't imagined were there.
No, the difficulty lies in Marcus' conclusion: simply put, I find the notion that Clinton approached Elvis Presley as a force for cultural liberation absurd. Clinton is obviously a very intelligent man and was an extraordinarily charismatic leader, but at the end of the day, he was just another politican. Elvis Presley broke - exploded - American culture in half. I don't think Clinton, as either president or cultural leader, can make a claim half so big.
bringing up the average.......2000-09-28
This book should probably rate somewhere around 3 or 4 stars. It isn't Marcus's best--that would be MYSTERY TRAIN or LIPSTICK TRACES--but anything by this fine critic is a whole lot better than the average nonfiction tripe out there (e.g., another cash cow "case" against one or both of the Clintons).
Granted, the connection between Elvis and BC is no stronger than the connection between, well, me and Mahatma Gandhi, but if you hold a magnifiying glass up close enough to a watermelon and squint your eyes, you can see an image of the Virgin Mary. And a number of pieces collected under this misleading title are not concerned, even in a Marcusian "world in a leaf of grass" way, with either Elvis or Clinton.
Having said this, no one understands the relationship between rock and American culture, past and present, better than Marcus. He is always wise, trenchant, and--though sometimes overly mystifying--strongly moral. As I read Marcus I always think, "This guy's on my side; he's saying what I would like to say if I could think of the right words." This applies to a lesser Marcus work (like this one) as well as the major ones (and he's about due for one sometime soon).
Sadly, Enough's Enough.......2000-09-09
This is the ultimate Greil Marcus parody, by the master himself. Ideas like a solemn correlation between an Elvis Presley postage stamp and Clinton's election are announced without even a smirk. Coming next: KNOCKED OUT LOADED: FINDING EVIDENCE OF ELVIS AND DYLAN IN EVERYTHING AFTER FALLING DOWN AND HITTING MY HEAD.
middling.......2000-08-30
once again Marcus is at it again. this is a relatively thought provoking study which interweaves all his favourite topics. If you like his style of writing, I'm sure you'll get a lot out of this. Anyone who has read some postmodern fiction won't find any remarkable ideas here. I preferred Invisible Republic.

Why, it's fantastic!.......2000-07-26
Who would have guessed that such a simple, straightfoward musical would be the longest running show in New York history? Read this copy of the libretto, and you'll know why. The show is very simple and very honest. It has drama and lighthearted comedy in just the right amounts to create what is, in many ways, the perfect musical. This volume also contains lots of extra information about the show, including the lyrics to a new song written for the show in its later years, and a number of photos. The music is missing, of course, but even without the OCR to the show, you get a great sense here of what makes The Fantasticks so, well, fantastic.
No Woder It's the Longest Running Show in American History!.......2000-06-08
It never fails to amaze me that Jones & Schmidt were capable of such powerful poetry while still studying for their masters degrees. This thesis show is a powerhouse of simplicity and a panorama of minimalism. Sound oxymoronic? It is. The show is so disceptively simple, but the stories it tells are universal, and they are guaranteed to ring true for even the most tarnished audience member. One read, and it won't be hard to "try to remember" this show for a long time!
The most wonderful musical ever!.......2000-03-27
This is one of the most wonderful musicals ever. It has a wonderful story and plot but the best part about it is the music. The music is absolutely FANTASTICK! The musical contains a wide variety of songs, each with its own mood and purpose. There are funny and amuzing songs, ominous songs, loving songs, wishful songs... there's something for everybody. I first saw the Fantasticks in New York and fell in love with the music. I have almost all the songs completely memorized and I am working on putting a few of the song into my audition repertoire. This is music that every true musical fan should have. Its brilliant.
An amazing look at the long life of The Fantasticks........1998-09-02
It has been two years since I was first introduced to The Fantasticks. Ever since I saw the show I have been captivated by its remarkable story, lyrics, and music. It was only recently that I read this 30th anniversary edition and truly found out how amazing this show is.
Tom Jones' personal account of The Fantasticks shows the reader what exactly goes in to a show before it actually debuts. The first section "Try to Remember" is well set as the first chapter of the book. The reader will benefit more from reading this chapter before the show.
The third section (the second was the libretto) is a look at the actors really shows you the life of the longest running Off-Broadway show.
I know my words cannot do justice to this amazing book. I would recommend this book to any die-hard Fantasticks fan, or to anyone interested in getting to know the best musical ever written.

Female private investigators are strange.......2004-09-06
When Sharon McCone was home visiting her family, her mother wanted her to speak to her brother John who was planning to fight for custody of his children. Her father, retired Navy, was a cabint maker and the husband of her sister Charlene was a musician. Sharon was supposed to be the stable, the together member of her family. She was in town attending a convention. Sharon's friend Elaine Picard was in charge of hotel security. The Nameless Detective, Wolf, was also at the convention which was being held in San Diego.
Elaine Picard fell from a balcony. Her death did not seem to be the result of an accident. Wolf witnessed the fall. He and Sharon proceeded to investigate the matter, informally. Sharon was nearly arrested for having committed a breaking and entering at Picard's residence. I should tell the prospective reader that the narration is in the first person, double first person that is to say.
Sharon discovered that Elaine had written to her lawyer that the hotel was being used for some illegal purpose and that she had not yet determined the nature of the illegal acts. Sharon felt that Elaine's death had something to do with the disappearance of a business tycoon. There was a chain reaction as the deaths and disappearances in the case escalated.
A Nearly Perfect Duet after an Off-Key Beginning.......2003-11-14
Anyone who is a fan of either Marcia Muller (or her detective, Sharon McCone) or Bill Pronzini (or his detective, "Nameless") should be sure to read this book. By enjoying two top mystery writers at the top of their game sharing a common plot, you will learn more about each author's style and their characters.
The book seems primarily inspired by two earlier Pronzini books about the Nameless Detective, Twospot, a "he-said, he-said" collaboration with Collin Wilcox, and the award-winning Hoodwink, set at a pulp writers' convention. As wonderful as those book are, this one vastly exceeds them.
The story is told from the alternating perspectives of the two detectives who are both attending a private detectives' convention at the Casa del Rey on Coronado in San Diego harbor. For Nameless fans, there's quick excitement as Sharon McCone supplies a nickname for Nameless, "Wolf," after newspaper reports of his operating as a lone wolf detective during the years before he teamed up with Eberhardt.
They each stumble onto the sense that something's amiss at the hotel . . . but for different reasons. Wolf finds a boy wandering around among the cottages on the grounds, and later finds that no one was registered to the cottage that he was staying in. Sharon runs into her old boss, Elaine Picard, who runs security at the hotel. Elaine wants to speak with Sharon about something that's bothering her, but there's no time to get together. Then the two leads coalesce as Wolf watches Elaine take a header from a high tower in the hotel to her death. At first the two detectives occasionally share observations, but before long both abandon the convention and begin to search together for answers to the puzzles.
The convention backdrop provides lots of opportunities for humor about the profession, which has increasingly become based on electronic surveillance. Neither Sharon nor Wolf like that development, and you'll enjoy their take on it.
The book starts off slowly as the two narratives repeat each other excessively in the beginning pages. That bogs the book down, and makes it seem clumsy. Soon, the separate action begins and the narration becomes strong and independent.
One of the high points of the book is that three different characters have to locate the same undisclosed place. Each uses a different method to identify the location. From this and other multifaceted perspectives, you get a strong sense of how the same mystery can be attacked from many different directions.
There's also a nice contrast between Sharon's willingness to bend the rules, and Nameless's commitment to following all of the rules.
The book has a wonderful blend of characters, subplots (including both detectives' personal lives), motives and action. Because it has both a "she said, he said" perspective, the book has a balance that few detective novels manage. Perhaps the fact that Ms. Muller and Mr. Pronzini are wife and husband in real life helped contribute the chemistry that makes this book so wonderful.
If you only read one mystery this year, make it this one!
After I finished this book, I wondered about how I could employ a female perspective to round out my thinking more often.
Interesting collaboration.......2002-07-11
Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzini team up with their characters Sharon McCone and "the nameless detective" to create an intriguing mystery. Sharon and the detective she calls Wolf meet in San Diego at a convention for private investigators. Sharon is also pleased to see an old boss of hers who is now head of security at the hotel where she's staying. When Sharon's friend falls over a balcony, she and Wolf decide that it is no accident and they set about to prove that there has been foul play. Sharon and Wolf take turns telling the story and they each work on bits and pieces of the murder plus other mysterious happenings which seem to be related. This book has a deliciously convoluted plot and a mystery which Muller and Pronzini develop to a crescendo and then reveal to the reader bit by bit. The addition of the character Wolf is a nice departure for this series, and it's interesting to catch a glimpse of McCone's family as well.
Double the Fun.......2001-03-17
Bill Pronzini and Marcia Muller are my 2 favorite mystery writers working today. "Double" offers both Sharon McCone and the Nameless Detective working together. They team up to investigate the murder of Elaine Picard, a former friend of McCone, head of security at the Casa del Ray hotel in San Diego where a private investigator's convention is being held. McCone and Nameless (whom McCone calls "Wolf") alternate chapters. This novel sizzles with action and it is one of my favorites of both Pronzini and Muller. I'm hoping that one day the husband and wife team of Pronzini and Muller will write another joint venture featuring Sharon McCone and the Nameless Detective. An excellent novel that is highly recommended.
2 Writers Equal A Good Mystery.......2001-02-20
In the beginning of this book I found the changing of viewpoints every other chapter disruptive of the flow of the story, but this improved as the book went on. Overall, this is a good book and I would recommend it.
I prefer the Sharon McCone books written only by Marcia Muller, but this book is definitely important to the history of Sharon McCone and is worth reading.

Book Description
These insider stories about Bill's experiences as "bass player to the stars" of folk, bluegrass, and acoustic music, are hilarious, insightful, sweet, thoughtful, humble, and generous in their real-life depictions of our best-loved entertainers. Here are true stories about Bill's playing string bass with Peter, Paul & Mary, pickin' bluegrass with Jerry Garcia, and concertizing with the Father of Bluegrass music, Bill Monroe. Aretha Franklin reveals yet another of her powers when Bill interviews her for Rolling Stone magazine. Bob Dylan is seen backstage, utterly lost, as he makes his way to his first gig in Philadelphia. And Stephane Grapelli, at age 74, on being introduced to the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, admits that he is just grateful to be alive.
These stories show an inside view of the specific and rarefied culture of the folk musician, but also stand as pieces of literature, full-fledged stories of deep humanity and sensitivity that give us a tasty sampling of the stew of human interaction both on stage and off.
The book is richly illustrated with 35 graphics, drawing and photos. There is a beautiful portrait of Aretha Franklin by the world's most famous photographer, Annie Leibovitz, a drawing of Beach Blanket Babylon's Steve Silver by the late Al Hershfeld, and photos of Jerry Garcia by Jon Sievert.

An engaging recollection of personal memories.......2004-04-04
Acoustic Stories is a unique and impressive anthology of true personal stories about musical legends such as Jerry Garcia, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, and many more as witnessed, experienced, and regaled by string bassist Bill Amatneek. An engaging recollection of personal memories, of tunes that transcend time, and offering contemporary readers with a tiny peek behind the surface of great entertainers, Acoustic Stories is most especially recommended for those legions of fans whose musical icons made and played decades of popular and unamplified music.
His stories are like picturesque mountain scenery.......2004-02-24
One of the first photos in "Acoustic Stories" shows author Bill Amatneek playing upright bass with Peter, Paul and Mary in 1979. At the end of the book, a photo shows the author with the Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band in 2003. Between these pictures are over 20 stories and 33 other photos that provide extraordinary recollections from this musician's years of professional experience. Amatneek refers to these stories as unamplified tales, largely because of his love of acoustic music. Moreover, he certainly needs no additional reinforcement, expansion or exaggeration of them to make his charming points. In fact, each story reads quickly, and they come across more as entertaining anecdotes that are both interesting and humorous. For the most part, they are based on real occurrences although the author's preface indicates that some are "told from their facts but to their hearts." Like picturesque mountain scenery, each story is suitable for framing. The author writes with a vivid freshness and vigor that capture his unique experiences.
Amatneek grew up in New York's Greenwich Village in the 1940s, and his connections eventually led to him becoming a "string-bass poppin', banjo-pickin' Philadelphia folkie." His short vignettes from the 1960s through the 1990s include tales about meeting Bob Dylan, being "used" as a prop by Mary Travers, interviewing Aretha Franklin, having Dionne Warwick sing "Happy Birthday" to him on his 21st birthday, and being inspired by Mimi Farina to make the world a better place. Throughout the book, the author intersperses a few song lyrics amidst the narrative.
Acoustic musicians, especially in the folk genre, typically include stories into their presentation. Most are based on personal experience and relate thoughtful and honest portrayals of life on the road and the people they meet along the way. Many of Amatneek's yarns revolve around well-known music personalities. In one situation, he might be auditioning tortoiseshell picks with Tony Rice in Paris. In another, he and the Rowan Brothers might be picking with Bill Monroe at the Wintergrass Festival in Tacoma, Wa. A couple of my favorites are about a panel discussion of the meaning of Monroe's song lyrics in "Little Girl and the Dreadful Snake." Other favorites are his description of the 3-ring circus of Beach Blanket Babylon, and the 50th anniversary of D-Day in 1994 in Ranville, France.
The emotional impacts of death creep into the stories. The author becomes introspective when talking about the passing of Mimi Farina, Kate Wolf, Jerry Garcia, Steve Gorn's father, Steve Silver, Al "Jazzbeaux" Collins, and the New Orleans horn player Buddy Bolden. Amatneek claims to be "basically shy," but this book shows, in writing, his more social and extrovert side. His "Acoustic Stories' are affectionately told, and anyone who can appreciate a few slices of music-related folklore will enjoy this book. Not only will you get to know the reserved bassist, author and storyteller better, but you'll get a taste of what it's been like for Bill Amatneek to cross paths and play with many luminaries in the music business. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)
Fascinating and fun collection of musical tales.......2003-10-16
Bill Amatneek is accomplished musician and an equally accomplished storyteller, which is what makes this book such a great read. Just what what was it like to hang with Jerry Garcia? - well read on. Or plucking with Peter, Paul and especially Mary when they breezed through town. He talks about that, too, and even brings in Dion Warwick and an unexpected birthday serenade. His book is personal, musical, intelligent and full of back-stage scenes that you can only get through someone who's on the inside.
More than just Jerry Garcia.......2003-10-16
I bought the book for the Jerry Garcia and David Grissman stories but was pleased to find lots of great stories about musicians I did not know. This isn't a typical "fan" book but fans will like learning more about these famous, and not so famous, musicians from a backstage point of view. It's worth it for the Peter, Paul and Mary story alone. Sounds like this guy has had a lot of fun over the years!
Told with wit and sensitivity . . ........2003-10-15
about an era and a scene that most people in my generation either see through rose-colored glasses or know only cursorily. A long list of people with famous names appear here, and are given faces, voices, and the quirky mannerisms that make them people, told by someone who has sat in the same room with them and breathed the same air with them.
Best of all, running through this work as steadily as a flowing river is a deep reverence for musical expression at its most personal, its most intimate. A treasure of a read.
