Book Description
This volume collects many of the best articles from veteran Rolling Stone writer Ben Fong-Torres. While many will recognize Ben as he was portrayed in Cameron Crowe's hit film Almost Famous, his thoughtful and engaging stories have been providing a backstage view for over 30 years. This book features a slew of entertaining and informative music and pop-culture pieces, as well as personal essays about growing up Asian-American and about Ben's interest in radio broadcasting. Through insightful introductions to every article, Fong-Torres offers an inside view of the writing and editing process, from getting an assignment and developing an idea to an article's completion in printed form.

Excellent research/entertainment resource!!! Highly Recommend!!.......2006-08-09
For any amount that I've read in pop-music/pop-cultural theory books and 1960s/70s cultural history books, I haven't found anything else yet that even comes close to providing both the breadth of knowledge and first-hand/upcloseandpersonal experience that Becoming Almost Famous offers. As an historical researcher and music fan, Ben Fong-Torres's books (both Becoming Almost Famous and his earlier publication Not Fade Away) are invaluable sources of knowledge and entertainment. For someone who wasn't "there" in the 1960s/1970s, reading these stories is an incredibly enriching and exciting experience. I highly recommend this book; whether you're just starting to read about 1960s/70s music history, or you've been there/done that - it's an insightful, exciting read from start to finish
"Almost" Perfect -- BF-T Is A True Rock God (Writer's Division).......2006-07-06
I've been a fan of Ben Fong-Torres' work in "Rolling Stone" since I was a teenager (meaning virtually since he started at RS), and his bi-weekly "Radio Waves" column in the San Francisco Chronicle's Sunday Datebook is the gold standard by which all other media columns are judged. "Becoming Almost Famous" is the latest edition of Ben's Greatest Hits, including his verbal duets with stars running a diverse gamut from Michael Nesmith to Cheech & Chong, and from Joe Cocker to Larry Ching, with the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Janis Joplin, Frank Sinatra and even Olivia Newton-John sitting in for extra measure. "Becoming" includes sterling period pieces: "Janis: The Scene In Larkspur" is a gracious look at Joplin's neighborhood in the days after her death, while "Why Linda Ronstadt Spent Valentine's Day Alone" is a sentimental self interview that reminded me why, even at my advanced age, I still want to be Ben Fong-Torres when I grow up. "Becoming" also gives glimpses of Ben as Disc Jockey, Ben as Brother, Ben as Record Producer, and Ben as The Prototypical Rock Reporter, showing his maturation during the long, strange trip from the 1960s to the 21st Century. I enjoyed every word, and I'm looking forward to the next volume.
Much more than the Summer of Love.......2006-06-08
I bought this book for a vicarious glimpse into the lives of rock stars of the 60s and 70s. I got just that (McCartney, Dylan, the Stones, CSN&Y), but was surprised at other unexpected gems. Like a hysterical review of the very worst lyrics of the era, including:
"He was saying things that weren't true about her
So I let him have it, in the cafeteria" -- Bobby Vee, `Stayin' In"
And a cross-cultural story as Fong-Torres recounts a visit to his family's ancestral village in China, where inquisitive teens want to know "Who was John Lennon?" and a young woman, when asked what she does for a living, replies "Work".
And Grace Slick's unique rationale for motherhood:
"... it's just a small person, and they expand more than animals do... I like animals, but I thought I'd try a human being because they have more happening... you get an old man you dig... and you want to see what the combination will turn out like."
Rock fan or not, you'll enjoy a diverse collection of tales written with wit, warmth, and humor by a veteran of music journalism.

Amazing book!.......2003-08-02
This book is amazing. Keep the tissues on hand as you'll surely need them to get through this tragic tale.
Amazing story of love distroyed by the Vietnam War........2003-01-07
This book was an enjoyable albeit teary insight into a love story that was caught up in the tragedy of the Vietnam war. Jami tells the story through many of Dick's heartfelt and honest letters to his wife Brenda. Although the book can get a little slow in the middle, hang it there for an amazing ending. It is truly unbelievable, shocking and terribly sad. Brenda was an extremely courageous woman and her story very remarkable.
An amazing story of love and war's tragedy.......2002-09-30
If reading a book can bring tears to my eyes several times throughout reading it-I know it's a very good book-and this is an excellent book about Richard "Dick" Genest who lost his life in Vietnam and his widow Brenda Cavanaugh.
The author introduced the reader to both families as well as background on each. She wrote of how his father "based all his decisions about family matters and the family business solely on the return of his son" and that his mother "greeted every morning with thoughts of her son...embraced every night as one less they would be without him." His sister "counted the days until she could finally share all the growing up she had done during his absence."
She interviewed each family member and some of Dick's friends. She read the many written letters and listened to the tape recordings between Brenda and Dick. She pieced together all their lives to write this amazing story of love and devotion between two young people and the heartbreak that war brought to their entire families. She brought everything together magnificently!
Dick and Brenda's love grew from the first day they met in February 1965. From then on they were almost inseparable. Whenever they were apart they wrote, called or tape recorded messages to each other daily. They married in 1967. They vowed to stay together but the Vietnam War was about to separate them.
After being classified 1-A for the draft Dick joined the New Hampshire National Guard believing the Guard would never leave the state or at least not the country. But he was wrong.
Neither Dick nor Brenda believed in this undeclared war. He was at Fort Bragg undergoing field training in June 1968 when his son was born. He managed to get home for a week.
After learning his unit was in fact going to Vietnam he went back home for two weeks in August and spent countless hours holding Brenda and cradling the baby "then he was gone."
By mid-September 1968 Dick was in Vietnam. For the next year he wrote letters home daily telling Brenda how he felt about the war, how much he missed her and Dickie and how he couldn't wait to return home.
On 25 August 1969 he wrote his last letter home "I cannot wait to wrap my arms around you....You are my life." His unit was pulling out the next morning. Dick was going home. But it was not to be.
The Genest and Cavanuagh family helped Jami Janes with this book as a tribute to Dick Genest and to help Dickie learn more about his late father. It was also in many ways a healing tool for Brenda. This was indeed Brenda's story as much as it was Dick's and well worth the box of Kleenex to get through it.
Book Description
Frank Schaeffer grew up in Switzerland's L'Abri, an idealistic community founded by his parents, the American evangelicals Francis and Edith Schaeffer. By the time he was 19, his parents had achieved global fame as best-selling authors and speakers, l'Abri had become a mecca for spiritual seekers worldwide — from Barbara Bush to Timothy Leary — and Frank had joined his father on the evangelical circuit. By the age of 23, he had directed two multi-part religious documentaries and had helped instigate the marriage between the American evangelical community and the anti-abortion movement. But as he spoke before thousands in arenas around America, published his own evangelical bestseller, and worked with such figures as Pat Robertson, Jack Kemp, Jerry Falwell, and Dr. James Dobson, Schaeffer felt alienated, precipitating his own crisis of faith and eventually resulting in his departure.
Schaeffer has since become a successful secular author. He was reduced to stealing pork chops from the grocery store in LA, rather than take on any more high-paying evangelical speaking gigs.
With its up-close portraits of the leading figures of the American evangelical movement, Crazy for God is a uniquely revealing and powerful memoir, which tells its story with empathy, humor, and bite.

Learn how to whine better to get what you want?.......2005-07-28
People should be encouraged to take responsibility for their own actions, not learn new ways to blame others. I'd love to see the authors (and anyone who buys it) try working retail for a few days, and deal with the types of customers that they themselves are. Having a temper tantrum in a store in order to get your way is no different than your four-year-old having one because you won't buy him candy. Rather than buying this book, maybe readers should think about how they're treating the store staff they deal with. These are people who work for a living, not servile peons. Terrible book!
Learn how to bully, be rude and intimidate sales people!.......2005-07-26
Rather than be reasonable and accept return policies, this book teaches you that if you act like a young child and have a fit, or a bully and intimidate sales clerks you can get your way! No wonder people think customer service is declining. Sales Clerks are afraid of the customers. Rather than harp on a non exsistant right to take back non defective merchandise, they should explain that when you purchase an item from a store, you have entered into a contractual agreement with them. They recieve your money, you recieve thier product. By that exchange taking place you have agreed to abide by all thier return policies. Unfortunatly, the authors of this book are less reasonable than your average shopper.

Book Description
One of the century's greatest philosophers, without whom there would be no Sartre, no Foucault, no Frankfurt School, Martin Heidegger was also a man of great failures and flaws, a Faustus who made a pact with the devil of his time, Adolf Hitler. The story of Heidegger's life and philosophy, a quintessentially German story in which good and evil, brilliance and blindness are inextricably entwined and the passions and disasters of a whole century come into play, is told in this brilliant biography.
Heidegger grew up in Catholic Germany where, for a chance at pursuing a life of learning, he pledged himself to the priesthood. Soon he turned apostate and sought a university position, which set him on the path to becoming the star of German philosophy in the 1920s. Rüdiger Safranski chronicles Heidegger's rise along with the thought he honed on the way, with its debt to Heraclitus, Plato, and Kant, and its tragic susceptibility to the conservatism that emerged out of the nightmare of Germany's loss in World War I. A chronicle of ideas and of personal commitments and betrayals, Safranski's biography combines clear accounts of the philosophy that won Heidegger eternal renown with the fascinating details of the loves and lapses that tripped up this powerful intellectual.
The best intellectual biography of Heidegger ever written and a best-seller in Germany, Martin Heidegger: Between Good and Evil does not shy away from full coverage of Heidegger's shameful transformation into a propagandist for the National Socialist regime; nor does it allow this aspect of his career to obscure his accomplishments. Written by a master of Heidegger's philosophy, the book is one of the best introductions to the thought and to the life and times of the greatest German philosopher of the century.

A reluctantly written review of perhaps a great 'thinker' but a contemptibly small human - being .......2005-11-30
I have read four chapters of this book, the ones on Anti-Semitism, Heidegger and Hannah Arendt, and the concluding chapter. The book is clearly written and the philosophical exposition outstanding.
I was interested more in the whole question of Heidegger's Anti- Semitism, and his relationship with Hannah Arendt- in part because I just finished Elisabeth Young- Bruehl's excellent biography of Arendt.
My sense of it all is that Heidegger was not at all a Socrates willing to take the hemlock for a higher ideal. His relations to his great mentor , the Jewish Husserl are shabby to say the least. He did not stand for him in any way, removed the original dedication to Husserl of 'Time and Being' from later editions of the work. He did not go out of his way to save Jewish friends.
And in fact he became a Nazi ideologue at a certain point.
His 'rehabilitation' in the eyes of the world owes a lot to Jaspers and Arendt. She especially showed a lifelong devotion to him. His failure to recognize the quality of her own work, the power of her mind in anything but understanding him shows a certain obtuseness, and inhumaneness.
It is always disturbing to deal with a creator who may well have done great work when that creator's personal life is not commendable. It is all the more so when the creator is one like Wagner , truly evil.
Heidegger obviously does not fit 'the evil category'. He may not be exactly midway between good and evil, but he was not the worst of the worst.
I myself cannot read his Philosophy simply because I would feel very guilty in doing so. The thought of all the innocent dead murdered by the Nazis by a regime he served, cannot let me do this.
How to begin............2003-03-06
There are a lot of reasons why I was interested in picking this book up: my mentor at Georgetown, Wilfrid Desan, stressed how important it was to know the life of a philosopher, even the likes of Quine, because philosophy is ever and always about one's life. In the case of Heidegger, the mysteries of this man, the profound impact of his work on the course of 20th century thinking, the controversies of his politics all left me wondering how to get a grip on this man.
This book is not for beginners. I've spent my undergraduate and graduate years studying Heidegger. Like a moth to the flame, and it consumed me in every regard. His books have totally spun me inside out, shook me to my soul, sent me off into Asian thought. If ever there was a Dasein thrown, yers trewly is it. How to begin to come to terms with this writer?
Safranski does an absolutely brilliant job at delineating the strands of thinking leading up to the advent of phenomenology. But, as I say, this isn't for the novice or the casual reader. This is disciplined, committed writing in service of Thinking itself. There are no two ways about it, Heidegger erupted into the Twentieth Century. There seemed to be a sense among his teachers that this was an extraordinary thinker. As he gains the acceptance and posts of influence in German university life, he gains his confidence and from the point of BEING AND TIME onward, nothing, absolutely nothing will ever be the same.
This book documents the transitions remarkably and with great clarity.
Of course, one of the things that troubled me the most in my undergraduate days was the prospect of Heidegger's anti-Semitism and his political allegance to the Nazis in the early days of their rise to power, all the while entering into a passionate romance with Hannah Arendt. The book does not hide or apologize for Heidegger. But it seems clear that it is not real clear just how anti-Semitic he was. He quite directly states to Arendt that he finds his Jewish students annoying, and he somewhat buys into the supremecy of the German state espoused by the 1920's and early 30's Nazis. And he very definitely benefits from their appointments. Yet, he witholds. His wife does not. She is clearly and vehemently disgusted by Jewish people. I'm sure that her husband's affair with Arendt only added fuel to that fire. Yet Heidegger does not seem to buy the whole program. On the other hand, he does little or nothing to help Arendt get out of Germany, and nothing at all to save Edith Stein, his colleague from their days with Husserl, who had become a Catholic nun, was murdered at Auchwitz and has since been canonized. Nor is he willing to give a full and clear account of himself in the trials after the war. I am as puzzled now as I have always been. Was this incredible thinker also so filled with narrow mindedness that he could watch a people get exterminated because some of his students were annoying him?
And as his thought began to walk more Buddhist paths, how did he resolve this great beginning of thinkng with the conflicts in his life? Those questions are not answered. Still in all, this book is a remarkable achievement. I could go on about so many other aspects, but I'll leave it at this: this is a book about a man's beginning, about being thrown fully consciously into the ground of thinking, and it uncovers what he found in the clearing with great insight.
The gale that blows through Heidegger..........2003-01-29
The epigram at the front of this brisk and efficient biography of Heidegger opens with an epigram from Arendt, 'The gale that blows through Heidegger...is not of our century...'. This is true, and evocative of the mysteries of philosophic history and origins, and yet the observation poignantly reveals the mystique that swept through the culture of the times and brought too many to a fool's ruin, among them students of Heidegger. One reviews the question ad infinitum reluctant to pass judgement on a philosophic genius, and yet the facts of the history show just this, a long grace period, viz. the postwar French devotion to this philosophy, now followed by a renewed offensive at the harsh reality of the facts of the case, and the difficulty of separating any longer the philosopher in politics from his philosophy. Hellishness beckons.
This biography is very dry, neat, but includes the assessement of the case in the light of the work of Ott and Farias. Much was clear even before the rectorship speech, the influence of Junger, Spengler, then one gets unlucky, if one is mesmerized.
How can one judge? Is there a choice? One looks at the wreckage in a hurricane and moves on.
A brilliant analysis of intellectual hubris.......2002-04-05
Any philosophy student who was had to wade painstakingly through the dry, abstract prose of 'Being and Time' will greatly appreciate Safranski's overall lucid explication of Heidegger's thought. Exhaustively researched and well-documented, with copious excerpts from lectures, correspondence and personal accounts, Safranski chronicles Heideggar's break with Catholicism, rise to academic stardom and relationship with contemporary philosophical scholars including Karl Jaspers, Max Scheler, Edmund Husserl, and Hannah Arendt.
When I initially studied Heidegger in college it was with great suprise and disappointment that I learned about his involvement in the Third Reich. Safranski's deft handling and elucidation of this controversial issue will be of interest to anyone who has pondered the reasons behind Heidegger's intellectual capitulation. According to Safranski:
'We are faced with a Heidegger who is woven into his own dream of a history of being, and his movements on the political state are those of a philosophical dreamer. In a late letter he would concede to Jaspers that he had dreamed "politically" and therefore had been mistaken. But that he was politically mistaken because he had dreamed "philosophically" -- that he would never admit, because as a philosopher who wished to discover the essence of historical time he was bound to defend -- even to himself -- his philosophical interpretative competence for what was happening in political history.' [p. 234]
The British historian Paul Johnson once said "The worst of all despotisms is the heartless tyranny of ideas," and the chief lesson humanity can learn from the twentieth century is to beware of intellectuals. Heideggar's involvement in National Socialism illustrates the danger of a mind enslaved by intellectual hubris, and should remind today's scholars to conduct themselves with care and humility.
Incidentally, the book touches upon the Nazi attempt to enlist Nietzschean philosophy as a resource for propaganda. Given Nietzsche's popular depication as an anti-semite, it was a suprise to learn that Nietzsche actually came under heavy criticism by Nazi philosophers, one of whom, Arthur Drews, went so far as to describe him as an "enemy of everything German", an out an out individualist whose philosophy was completely antithetical to the National Socialist principle that the common good comes before personal advantage.
Drews' lament that "most people today who make statements about Nietzsche are only picking the 'raisins' out of the cake of his 'philosophy' and, given his aphoristic way of writing, have no clear idea at all about the context of his thoughts" echoes Walter Kaufman in 'Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, AntiChrist'. Of course, it was only by this very method that the Nazis were able to enlist Nietzsche as a resource in their propaganda.
Perhaps Safranski will have more to say on this matter in 'Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography' (which I am currently reading). Meanwhile, I heartily recommend 'Between Good and Evil' to anybody interested in Heidegger.
Great introduction to Heidegger!.......2001-07-15
This author has written a book that opened my interest for the work of Heidegger beautifully. Safranski is able to search for the truth in his work and present the life and thought of Heidegger in a very clear way.
