Fantastic! Online hatred and stalking is par for the course in today's world. The internet as exposed just how hateful many people are, even those who profess to be "tolerant" or "progressive" in real life, become hatful monsters on the internet.

touching sermon, but what does that have to do with the nice interesting interview about Elvis and the book?

Shane has been threatened by some morons who claim to be fans, who've taken issue with his honest commentary around later period Elvis.Kylan wrote:skatterbrane wrote:Fantastic!

Re: Interview with Shane Brown author of "A Listener's Guide
I thank you for the support, folks. I should add at this point that I have not heard further from the people in question, which is good. I'm an outspoken chap sometimes, and you make enemies, and I'm guessing that's what happened here. It's one of those things - and it's not just an Elvis thing either. I was rather outspoken in a blog post about certain aspects of academia last year and also had something similar happen, although not to the degree of last week's antics. So it happens everywhere - I just was rather taken about by the severity in this case!

Ya I read it. Nice interview. I liked it. And yes anyone who threatens the guy over his opinions about the music needs their head examined.

EIN: In your opinion was Colonel Parker good or bad for Elvis’ music? After all Parker had very little to with Elvis’ actual recordings?
Shane has a good reply including, "It’s easy to demonise Parker, but he was also extremely smart at times...."
Cheers,
Piers

Re: Interview with Shane Brown author of "A Listener's Guide
Shane/Peter: here's wishing much, much success to you, my friend. I'm planning to get your work as soon as possible and I'm sure it'll be an enjoyable read, no matter if it goes against some of my old beliefs and opinions about some of the music. Heck, that's the beauty of a good work: you may not agree, but you'll enjoy reading and considering the thoughts. You'll see that it's a genuine effort. Hopefully I'm making sense. I'm looking forward to it!
Anyway, all the best!

Thank you, Blue River. Thank you, rjm. Thank you, Ken.

Re: Interview with Shane Brown author of "A Listener's Guide
I enjoyed the interview. I may even get the book now . That is if Amazon Canada offers the paper version. Right now it's only Kindle.

Re: Interview with Shane Brown author of "A Listener's Guide
One quick question For Shane/Peter whats the name of the novel u wrote?Did u publish it? Will u be doing a book on silent era movies u should u have good knowledge in it too.
Re: Interview with Shane Brown author of "A Listener's Guide
The novel is Breaking Point and is available via Amazon. It did very well for itself, and I started a sequel but it got put to one side for various reasons. It might get finished one day.ritchie valens wrote:One quick question For Shane/Peter whats the name of the novel u wrote?Did u publish it?

I'm currently in talks with a publisher for a book on silent film. Meanwhile, an essay I've written on Oscar Micheaux, an African-American director from the 1910s to the 1940s is included in a book called Fifty Hollywood Directors, due out in November in the UK and December in America.

Not really - the Micheaux essay was written about two years ago. It's just that publishing is a very slow world!rjm wrote:You're really mashing those keys, son! Congratulations.
