Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - n 1988, Steven Hager became editor of High Times, a magazine on the brink of collapse. Over the next fifteen years he helped turn it into the voice of a global movement. He created the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, turned an obscure Marin County ritual called 420 into a worldwide ceremony, sent the High Times Freedom Fighters marching with Jack Herer to launch the hemp movement, and brought the magazine's spirit to the Rainbow Gatherings and the WHEE! festivals.Then the money arrived, and with it the lawyers, the board fights and a quiet corporate takeover. The High Times Papers is Hager's account of how the counterculture's most famous magazine lost its soul.Every chapter opens with one of the company's annual reports, which Hager wrote as editor from 1988 into the 2000s, paraphrased in his own words. The reports track circulation, advertising, spin-offs and the balance sheet year by year. Around them, Hager tells what was really happening behind the numbers: - Discovering the seed breeders and the first Cannabis Cup- How 420 went from a high-school code to a global holiday- The Freedom Fighters and the birth of the hemp movement- Summers at the Rainbow Gathering with Jack Herer- Building the WHEE! festivals in Oregon- The tragedy of Rainbow Farm- The Bubblehash War and the Peace Cup- Staff feuds, film and TV projects that died at the last minute, and the takeover that pushed him outFunny, angry and deeply personal, the book is a firsthand record of the years when cannabis culture came out of the shadows, and of what happened when the business side decided the buzz was worth more than the mission.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The official story is usually wrong. So are most of the people who say so.For years, Steven Hager has been digging through the places where history, intelligence work and the occult meet, and publishing what he found on his blog, The Tin Whistle. Everything You Know Is Twisted collects 109 of those dispatches into one volume. It is a guided tour of the hidden hand behind the headlines, and a warning about the rabbit holes built to keep you from finding it.Hager asks the questions polite historians avoid. Who really founded the Illuminati, and why did it come back How did Albert Pike win the peace after Lincoln won the war Why did so many famous writers moonlight as spies Was the Weather Underground what it seemed Why did Oswald leave a trail of breadcrumbs, and who were the three tramps What happened to Frank Olson, Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana And why have cannabis and sacred mushrooms been scrubbed from the history of magic and religion The book is organized in seven parts: - Secret Societies: Lodges, Orders and the Hidden Hand- Spooks: Inside the Wilderness of Mirrors- JFK and the Kennedys: Patsies, Doubles and Rabbit Holes- Murder, Madness and Cover-Ups: Crimes the Official Story Can't Explain- Magic, Religion and the Occult: Bell, Book and Candle- Cannabis and the Psychedelic Revolution: The Sacrament They Tried to Erase- The Tin Foil Hat Patrol: Inside the Disinfo MatrixHager is just as hard on the conspiracy industry as he is on the establishment. In the final part, he names the fake whistleblowers, disinformation artists and professional rabbit-hole diggers who, in his view, exist to discredit real research. It's a field guide for anyone who wants to know which 'truthers' to trust.Written with a reporter's nose and a satirist's bite, the book is fully annotated, with chapter notes linking to primary documents, congressional reports and court records. It also includes a selection of reader comments from the original blog posts, a bibliography and a name index. Whether you're a skeptic, a seeker or a veteran of the rabbit hole, this book will change how you read the news.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1984, Steven Hager published Hip Hop, the first history of the culture. He had been working the story since 1980, when he started out as a reporter at the New York Daily News, tracking graffiti writers, deejays, MCs and b-boys across the South Bronx and downtown Manhattan, long before the rest of the media caught on.Hip Hop: The Complete Archives restores that book and opens the files behind it.

These are the voices of the people who built hip hop, in their own words.The book traces the culture from the gang wars of the South Bronx to the parties at the Bronx River Community Center and the Hevalo, the birth of rap on record, the rise of breaking and the explosion of subway graffiti, and on into the downtown clubs and galleries. It collects Hager's articles from the Village Voice, the SoHo News, the East Village Eye and the Daily News, and it includes 'Looking for the Perfect Beat,' the original screenplay that became the 1984 film Beat Street, along with the author's account of what happened to it.Illustrated with photographs, drawings by Phase 2 and Richard Sisco, and original flyers from the era, the edition also has source notes, a bibliography, a dictionary of hip hop slang, a selected discography and a full name index.This is the record of the first generation, as it happened.…

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. In the early 1980s, a few blocks of Manhattan's East Village became the most creative square mile on earth. A generation of artists, musicians, performers and misfits turned cheap storefronts, basement clubs and abandoned walls into stages and galleries. They forged a cultural synthesis of punk rock and hip hop that went on to conquer the world. Steven Hager was there with a tape recorder.Hager wrote Art After Midnight, the first book on Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf. This volume collects the full interviews he recorded for it. Most were done between 1981 and 1985, while the scene was still exploding. Instead of looking back with hindsight, the people who made it happen talk in the present tense: about their art, their rivalries, their parties, their money troubles and their dreams. Hager lets them talk, and the secrets come out.Here are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf before the fame took over. Here are Fab 5 Freddy, Futura 2000, Lee Qui?ones, Phase 2 and Al Diaz, who carried graffiti from the subway yards into the galleries. Dealers and curators Mary Boone, Tony Shafrazi, Annina Nosei, Diego Cortez, Bill Stelling, Richard Marshall and P.P.O.W. explain how the art market discovered downtown. And here are the stars of Club 57, the Mudd Club and the Fun Gallery: Ann Magnuson, John Sex, Joey Arias, Patti Astor, Katy K, April Palmieri, Tish and Snooky, Wendy Wild, Steve Mass, Mickey Ruskin, Anita Sarko and many more. Also included are Julian Schnabel, David Wojnarowicz, Tseng Kwong Chi, Glenn O'Brien, Lenny Kaye, Hilly Kristal of CBGB and Fred Schneider of the B-52's.Sixty-one interviews in all, alphabetically from Animal X to David Wojnarowicz. They're illustrated with photographs, gallery invitations, club flyers and artwork from the author's collection, many never published before.These conversations record a moment that can't happen again. In a few short years, heroin, AIDS and rising rents killed the scene and forced most of its people out of Manhattan. Hager argues it took fewer than thirty artists, banded together and ignoring the market, to change the direction of culture. Their own words show how they did it.Art After Midnight: Conversations with Steven Hager is the companion to Art After Midnight: The East Village Scene. It's an essential first-hand history of the downtown New York art world that produced Basquiat, Haring and the art of the 1980s. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 926.…

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Before Hip Hop. Before High Times. Before Art After Midnight. There were the letters.The Wandering Years: Letters from Everywhere is the true story of a generation that came of age after the sixties, told in the words of the people who lived it. For more than twenty years, Steven Hager kept every letter he received. They begin with his boyhood summers in Hepler, Kansas, in the early 1960s and run to his first years as a reporter in New York City. More than 450 of them survive, and they're printed here in full and in order. Postmarks, envelopes, drawings and photographs from the letters run alongside the text.The letters follow Hager from Urbana, Illinois, to Oakland and Valparaiso. From there he went to Stockholm to avoid the draft, then to a chickee in the Florida Keys, a boarding house on Bruce Avenue in San Francisco, and back to the university town where it all started. Finally he left for New York.Along the way a cast of unforgettable correspondents comes into focus. Bugsy is the brilliant troublemaker whose letters arrive from a federal prison camp. Carole, Larry and Sybil write about love, drugs, politics and survival in the Midwest. Cousin Tom sends dispatches from Laos, Bangkok, Sydney and the beach at Delray. His mother keeps asking him to write home, and his father sends news of a university career. The editors of Penthouse, The New Yorker and Harper's mail rejection slips until the doors finally begin to open. Joseph Heller, Thomas Williams and Rene Ricard turn up too.The letters are funny, heartbreaking, profane and often wildly wrong about the future. Together they read like a novel nobody meant to write, a portrait of the restless years between Woodstock and the birth of hip hop.The book opens with a 1988 conversation between the author and his mother. It closes with "Where Are They Now," short notes on what became of the people in these pages, and an index of names.Steven Hager started The Tin Whistle, one of the first underground newspapers in downstate Illinois, in 1968. In 1979 he moved to New York, where he reported for the Daily News and the Village Voice. He wrote the first history of hip hop and the first book on Basquiat, Haring and Scharf, and he originated the film that became Beat Street. As editor of High Times he created the Cannabis Cup. He lives in Highlands, New Jersey. Steven Hager kept letters from Kansas to Stockholm, the Florida Keys, San Francisco and New York. They came from a jailbird friend, a globe-trotting cousin, his mother, and editors who kept saying no. They tell the story of a generation. This item is printed on demand.

Who really founded the Illuminati, and why did it come back? How did Albert Pike win the peace after Lincoln won the war? Why did so many famous writers moonlight as spies? Was the Weather Underground what it seemed? Why did Oswald leave a trail of breadcrumbs, and who were the three tramps? What happened to Frank Olson, Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana? And why have cannabis and sacred mushrooms been scrubbed from the history of magic and religion?The book is organized in seven parts: Secret Societies: Lodges, Orders and the Hidden HandSpooks: Inside the Wilderness of MirrorsJFK and the Kennedys: Patsies, Doubles and Rabbit HolesMurder, Madness and Cover-Ups: Crimes the Official Story Can't ExplainMagic, Religion and the Occult: Bell, Book and CandleCannabis and the Psychedelic Revolution: The Sacrament They Tried to EraseThe Tin Foil Hat Patrol: Inside the Disinfo MatrixHager is just as hard on the conspiracy industry as he is on the establishment. In the final part, he names the fake whistleblowers, disinformation artists and professional rabbit-hole diggers who, in his view, exist to discredit real research. It's a field guide for anyone who wants to know which "truthers" to trust.Written with a reporter's nose and a satirist's bite, the book is fully annotated, with chapter notes linking to primary documents, congressional reports and court records. It also includes a selection of reader comments from the original blog posts, a bibliography and a name index. Whether you're a skeptic, a seeker or a veteran of the rabbit hole, this book will change how you read the news. From the Illuminati to the CIA, JFK to cannabis, Steven Hager takes apart the official stories and the fake conspiracy theories alike, including secret societies, spooks, cover-ups, magic and the tin foil hat brigade, with notes and sources.
