Through his pioneering work in the legendary country-punk band, Uncle Tupelo, to his enduring legacy as the creative force behind the unclassifiable sound of Wilco, Jeff Tweedy has weaved his way between the underground and the mainstream - and back again.

There are few creative acts more mysterious and magical than writing a song. Tweedy believes that the difference between one song and many songs isn't a cute semantic trick-- it's an important distinction that can simplify a notoriously confusing art form. The idea of becoming a songwriter can seem daunting, but approached as a focused, self-contained event, the mystery and fear subsides, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit. Here he brings readers into the intimate process of writing one song: lyrics, music, and putting it all together. Doing so allows you to access the deep sense of wonder that remains at the heart of this fulfilling, artistic act. -- adapted from jacket

~New York Times Bestseller~ An exciting and heartening mix of memories, music, and inspiration from Wilco front man and New York Times bestselling author Jeff Tweedy, sharing fifty songs that changed his life, the real-life experiences behind each one, as well as what he’s learned about how music and life intertwine and enhance each other. What makes us fall in love with a song? What makes us want to write our own songs? Do songs help? Do songs help us live better lives? And do the lives we live help us write better songs? After two New York Times bestsellers that cemented and expanded his legacy as one of America’s best-loved performers and songwriters, Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back) and How to Write One Song, Jeff Tweedy is back with another disarming, beautiful, and inspirational book about why we listen to music, why we love songs, and how music can connect us to each other and to ourselves. Featuring fifty songs that have both changed Jeff’s life and influenced his music—including songs by the Replacements, Mavis Staples, the Velvet Underground, Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Dolly Parton, and Billie Eilish—as well as Jeff’s “Rememories,” dream-like short pieces that related key moments from Jeff’s life, this book is a mix of the musical, the emotional, and the inspirational in the best possible way.

Ron Jeremy, bekannt als "der Igel", behauptet, mit über 4000 Frauen Sex gehabt zu haben und hat in mehr als 1700 Pornofilmen mitgewirkt, was ihm einen Eintrag ins Guinnessbuch der Rekorde einbrachte. Ursprünglich wollte er Schauspieler werden, doch nach dem Versagen seiner Ambitionen schickte seine Freundin Fotos seines beeindruckenden Geschlechtsteils an die Zeitschrift Playgirl, was seinen Einstieg in die Porno-Szene der 70er Jahre markierte. In den 80er Jahren erlangte er Kultstatus, da er nicht dem gängigen Schönheitsideal entsprach. Neben seiner Karriere in der Erwachsenenunterhaltung trat er auch in Mainstream-Filmen wie Ghostbusters und Detroit Rock City auf und setzte sich gegen die Zensur von Pornografie ein. In seiner humorvollen Erzählung reflektiert er über seine Familie, Jugend und zahlreiche sexuelle Begegnungen. Jeremys Lebensgeschichte ist nicht nur unterhaltsam, sondern bietet auch einen Einblick in die Kulturgeschichte des Pornofilms, indem er die Entwicklung der Branche über die Jahrzehnte hinweg skizziert. Er teilt Anekdoten aus der Glitzerwelt Amerikas, von Partys und Gruppensex bis hin zu den Herausforderungen des Porno-Alltags und der Kunst, nicht zu früh zum Höhepunkt zu kommen.
