The Final Incident: Deek Magazine lived for a few years in the middle of the “roaring 2000’s.” This was a tumultuous decade, even for sleepy Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A needless war, an imploding worldwide economy, disasters both natural and man-made, and the return of that early-80s phenomenon “punk-funk” were on everybody’s mind. And for a time, Matt Stroud and his gang were plugged into the zeitgeist. Each issue of Deek Magazine revolved around a specific “incident.” War, Madness, Sex and The Future were among the topics explored, dissected and just plain ridiculed. Including interviews with Robert Anton Wilson and R.U. Sirius, this collection is not to be missed!
The Day The Empire Fell: Vincent Scotti Eirene is a consummate storyteller. In this book he offers poetic vignettes about his family and his lifelong journey into nonviolent peacemaking. Along the way he takes us across the country, from Pittsburgh to Chicago, Colorado, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, the White House, New Orleans, Atlanta, and even beyond, to Fallujah and Baghdad. We meet an assortment of colorful characters, people like Grandma Molly, Phillip Berrigan, Hungry Bear, Uncle Joe, Black Panther Malik Rahim, Martin Sheen, judges, lawyers, activists and others. Stitched together, the stories serve as a striking miniature of our age. They form a snapshot of a time in American history, flashes of what Jack Kerouac did for an earlier era with his book On the Road.
