Bird: The Legend Of Charlie Parker (Da Capo Paperback) von Robert Reisner

This is a collection of interviews with people who knew and played with Charlie Parker, so the five stars aren't for the writing. They're for the fact that the many and diverse interviews make you feel you once hung with Bird. What an honor that would have been, as difficult and unpredictable as he was. If you love his music, you'll love this.

Captions courageous : or, comments from the gallery von Robert George Reisner

A classic of 1950s humour. What a great time that was: Bob & Ray, MAD magazine, Ernie Kovacs, Groucho on TV . . . and these crazy guys.

Example: Andrea Mantegna famous painting of Judith holding the head of Holofernes -- with the tag-line : "I like to make a clean break to an affair." Or again, one of my all-time faves: Botticelli's BIRTH IOF VENUS, with the nymph bringing a robe to cover the gloriously nude young goddess, with the caption "Slip into this; it's a raid." Tell me that I'm easily amused, I can take it.… (mehr)

More Captions Courageous von Bob Reisner

Disappointing. I thought it would be funnier. I did, however, love Venus de Milo saying "I met a very disarming gentleman last night."

Great Wall Writing and Button Graffiti von Robert George Reisner

A friend of mine found this at a used book store years and years ago and i borrowed it from him years and years ago (oops). Its great to look at, includes stuff from ancient Rome, always intended to use it in a short story or something just rediscovered it in a packed away box--thanks LibraryThing.
