By Heylin, Clinton

Publishing Date: c2010

Classification: 700

Call Number: 782.42 HEY

Still on the road is a continuation of Clinton Heylin's first volume, Revolution in the air : the songs of Bob Dylan, 1957-1973. Heylin has arranged the songs, including a number that have never been performed, in the chronology of when they were actually written, rather than when they appeared on albums. Using newly discovered manuscripts, anecdotal evidence, and knowledge of every Bob Dylan live performance, Heylin has uncovered a wealth of information about these songs and about Bob Dylan.

Call Number: 791.43 MAT

This fresh look at Hollywood's "Queen of Screwball," Carole Lombard, presents a first-ever examination of the events that led to the shocking flight mishap that took her life on the side of a Nevada mountain in 1942. It also provides a day-by-day accountof the struggles of Lombard's husband, Clark Gable, and other family, friends, and fans to cope with the tragedy. Based on extensive research rather than gossip, this investigation further explores the lives of the 21 others on the plane, including 15 members of the U.S. Army Air Corps, and addresses one of the most enduring mysteries of World War II. On a clear night full of stars, with TWA's most experienced pilot at the controls of a 10-month-old aircraft under the power of two fully functioning engines, why did the flight crash into that Nevada mountainside?
