      "Someone once said that 'pop music is an argument that anyone can join in'. Ways of Hearing turns that argument into a riotous bar-room brawl, as a frontier town of unruly pop pioneers (from Lee 'Scratch' Perry to Lemmy from Motorhead, from Captain Beefheart to The Chemical Brothers to Sir Cliff Richard) punch it out in a gleeful free-for-all." "Tapping into pop's imaginary world at its intersections with film, TV and literature, Ben Thompson zeroes in on music's power to transform - both those who make it and those who listen to it. Part pop hall of fame, part self-help manual, and part visionary manifesto, Ways of Hearing cuts through the waxy build-up of conventional wisdom and gains direct access to the soul's inner ear."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

      A Roaring Epic of Texas Guns Into the Big Bend Country rode wild Dunc Stewart, headed for trouble and a girl, Carmelita. Then old Hamp Wallace took got into the game, his blazing guns siding with law and order. Dunc knew that some day he'd be sharing a triple showdown with Hamp and the notorious Jugg Allison...and one of the three was the fastest draw in Texas. They wouldn't know who it was until the last man was standing. "Ben Thompson" was a pseudonym of John Burton Thompson, best known for his racy, sexy pulp novels of the 1950s and 60s. This was his bid for a "breath-through" novel and, decades later, he still stung from the book's failure to become a big success and vault him onto the wider, western market.
