| pimp the story of my life ebook: The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim Iceberg Slim, 2013-09-10 Iceberg Slim described himself as “ill…from America’s fake façade of justice and democracy,” an illness that may have been a detriment, but evolved into the tales that serve as a chilling reminder that we are all still inmates of one prison or another, and the time to break free has arrived. Iceberg Slim took the public into the raw, unseen, predatory reality of America with his first book, Pimp. This time around, he puts the emphasis on reality with his collection of personal essays. This is Iceberg, in California, broken down into a million pieces of anger, wisdom, but ready for a shift in his own consciousness. From the corrupt LAPD to a broken heart, Iceberg recounts woes that the average Joe can’t even fathom.

| pimp the story of my life ebook: Late, Late at Night Rick Springfield, 2010-10-12 Features four bonus videos! Watch Rick discuss the events that have shaped his life; step inside his recording studio to hear him discuss his music, his acting career, coming to America, and his love of dogs; and watch Rick's “What’s Victoria’s Secret?” music video and his unplugged version of “I Get Excited.” In a searingly candid memoir which he authored himself, Grammy Award-winning pop icon Rick Springfield pulls back the curtain on his image as a bright, shiny, happy performer to share the startling story of his rise and fall and rise in music, film, and television and his lifelong battle with depression. In the 1980s, singer-songwriter and actor Rick Springfield seemed to have it all: a megahit single in “Jessie’s Girl,” sold-out concert tours, follow-up hits that sold more than 17 million albums and became the pop soundtrack for an entire generation, and 12 million daily viewers who avidly tuned in to General Hospital to swoon over his portrayal of the handsome Dr. Noah Drake. Yet lurking behind his success as a pop star and soap opera heartthrob and his unstoppable drive was a moody, somber, and dark soul, one filled with depression and insecurity. In Late, Late at Night, the memoir his millions of fans have been waiting for, Rick takes readers inside the highs and lows of his extraordinary life. By turns winningly funny and heartbreakingly sad, every page resonates with Rick’s witty, wry, self-deprecating, brutally honest voice. On one level, he reveals the inside story of his ride to the top of the entertainment world. On a second, deeper level, he recounts with unsparing candor the forces that have driven his life, including his longtime battle with depression and thoughts of suicide, the shattering death of his father, and his decision to drop out at the absolute peak of fame. Having finally found a more stable equilibrium, Rick’s story is ultimately a positive one, deeply informed by his passion for creative expression through his music, a deep love of his wife of twenty-six years and their two sons, and his life-long quest for spiritual peace. |

Pimp. Memorias de un chulo (1967) es un tipo diferente de historia estadounidense, la historia de un joven decidido a tomar lo que la sociedad no quiere dar. Un retrato hirviente, sucio y crudo de la brutalidad, la astucia y la codicia de un proxeneta en los bajos fondos de Chicago. Una sonora advertencia contada por un auténtico superviviente que, casi 50 años después, estremece como el primer día. Esta es la historia de la vida de Iceberg Slim: su secreto mundo interior, los olores, los sonidos, los miedos y los pequeños triunfos en su peculiar mundo, los siempre acechantes peligros de la cárcel, la adicción y la muerte. Un viaje por el infierno de un hombre que vivió para contarlo y terminó dando voz a las prostitutas y estafadores del gueto. El libro que trajo la literatura negra a las calles vuelve a mostrar a la generación hip hop de qué va todo esto. Lo que El arte de la guerra de Sun Tzu fue a la antigua China, Pimp lo es a las peligrosas calles. |
