To Li'l Bit, the radio is the most important part of the car, but the pop music of the 50's can never quite drown out the harrowing images in her mind.

A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

Editorial reviews
Blurring biography and improv, Roger Guenveur's A Huey P. Newton Story delves into the conflicted life of the famed Black Panther co-founder. Newton who eventually earned a PhD in sociology, gained some notoriety for being involved in the slaying of a white police officer. Newton was eventually shot and killed by a member of another black power movement. Intimate and enlightening, Roger Guenveur Smith's performance is not to be missed. His range and humor are remarkable considering the difficult subject matter at hand.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Original cast members from the beloved TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, reunite for an all-new adventure about connections that never die—even if you bury them.

With new Slayers constantly emerging, things are looking grim for the bad guys.

A wonderful performance
The performance is informative and entertaining. I enjoyed every second of it. A good introduction to the man known as, Huey P. Newton.

Magnificent
I can appreciate the original feel the poetic manner in which it was conducted, the modern connotations and Huey’s message and understanding of America. I’d recommend this to everyone who lives in the real world. We’re dealing today, with yesterday’s issues and problems that were already identified and addressed, but not resolved. Why?

Extremely moving
The performance is impeccable. It ties in a lot of Huey’s own quotes and perspective with some artistic liberties.

Very confusing audio and pace.
I think maybe this was a play, and this is just the audio of it. The whole thing was a mess. I was, and am, eager for the content. Problem is, it was just a lot of noise. Still want to hear the content, but would only be listenable if they recorded this just for audio... No theater or audience. Power to the people huey's message stands!
