DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis text argues that the hillbilly - in his various guises - has been viewed by mainstream Americans simultaneously as a violent degenerate who threatens the modern order and as a keeper of traditional values and thus symbolic of a nostalgic past free of the problems of contemporary life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn ordinary man living an ordinarily dysfunctional life, stumbling through every day events, is confronted with a near-death event and a resulting miracle wish which is granted by God. That wish came with a promise though and a chance to help others through his heavenly gift. How this story comes about, evolves into success in love and in life, and all of the humorous adventures in between are something you'll remember and treasure for years to come. The best part... it's all true! The majority of this story takes place in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina. It quickly transports the reader through 36 years of a less than normal life then settles in for the next 12 years, which become increasingly fantastic through a chain of events, all due to keeping the promise, and God's blessings for doing so. The author is an avid outdoorsman, photographer and explorer, which brings a lot of greenery to the book and describes many of the little known natural wonders located in upstate SC. It evolves into something so much more though when all of the elements culminate into a very unexpected climax. This is a funny, smart, thought-provoking book that answers many questions that begin with; What would you do if? It is probably unlike anything you've ever read, but is definitely a book that you'll read over and over again, and will want to share with friends and family.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom USA Today Bestselling Author K Webster comes a new motorcycle club dark standalone MM romance novel! They created this monster when they took me as a teen. Abused me, tortured me, psychologically ruined me. I was once innocent, fragile, and good. Now I’m older and everything wicked. The worst of the worst. I’m filled with fiery rage and burn with the need to avenge the death of the boy I used to be. Vicious and violent and vindictive. A metaphorical dragon among men, thirsty to set fire to them all. Only my mission of depraved justice will have to wait because Prez needs me for something else. If he wasn’t single-handedly responsible for dragging me from the sick nightmare my life had become, I’d tell him exactly where to shove his stupid idea of putting me on babysitting duty. My charge is a prospect. Not just any prospect, but the young, innocent Cove Gale who shouldn’t be within a hundred-mile radius of this vile club I call home. I’m supposed to be keeping him safe. But Cove’s a reckless brat with a mouth that begs for trouble. Prez should know better than to give me a toy to play with. I break things and I’ll break him too. The prospect is just a boy. And he’s just unleashed the dragon… ***This is a gay romance and the third book in the RBMC: Tulsa, OK series. It can be read as a standalone but may be better enjoyed after reading the first two, Koyn and Copper. Koyn and Copper are both MF stories while this one is MM.***

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA PopMatters Best Non-Fiction Book of 2020 From the 1930s to the 1960s, the booming popularity of country music threw a spotlight on a new generation of innovative women artists. These individuals blazed trails as singers, musicians, and performers even as the industry hemmed in their potential popularity with labels like woman hillbilly, singing cowgirl, and honky-tonk angel. Stephanie Vander Wel looks at the careers of artists like Patsy Montana, Rose Maddox, and Kitty Wells against the backdrop of country music's golden age. Analyzing recordings and appearances on radio, film, and television, she connects performances to real and imagined places and examines how the music sparked new ways for women listeners to imagine the open range, the honky-tonk, and the home. The music also captured the tensions felt by women facing geographic disruption and economic uncertainty. While classic songs and heartfelt performances might ease anxieties, the subject matter underlined women's ambivalent relationships to industrialism, middle-class security, and established notions of femininity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKReimagining Rural: Urbanormative Portrayals of Rural Life examines the ways in which rural people and places are being portrayed by popular television, reality television, film, literature, and news media in the United States. It is also an examination of the social processes that reinforce urbanormative standards that normalize urban life and render rural life as something unusual, exotic, or deviant. This includes exploring the role of the media as agenda setting agent, informing people what and how to think about rural life. Further it includes scrutinizing the institution of formal education that promotes a homogenous urban-oriented curriculum, while in the process, marginalizing the unique characteristics of local rural communities. These contributions are some of the only studies of their kind, investigating popular cultural representations of rural life, while providing powerful evidence and unique challenges for an urban society to rethink and reimagine rural life, while confronting the many stereotypes and myths that exist.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn often controversial figure, Jerry 'The King' Lawler has been at the top of his profession both as a wrestler and most recently as a commentator for over 30 years. Holder of more than 90 regional or national titles over the course of his career, he is as well known for his feuds, both in and out of the ring, as he is for his achievements and his expertise. No stranger to the airwaves, he has hosted his own show both on radio and on television, and he is also a successful commercial artist whose work can be seen on several sites around his home city of Memphis. Outside the WWE arena perhaps his most famous dispute was with actor and comedian Andy Kaufman, a long-running conflict that at one point put Kaufman in hospital and culminated in a televised brawl on 'Late Night With David Letterman'. Now in a no-holds barred autobiography 'The King' is prepared to tell all both about his sometimes stormy career and about the backstage secrets of the WWE.
