Publisher's summary
Remember Wayne County and the Electric Chairs? Long before drag queens dominated the media, before gender-bending, before punk, even before Stonewall, there was Jayne County. From the 60s to the 90s she was the craziest, the most extreme queen ever to hit a rock 'n' roll stage. She's known and worked with Warhol, Bowie, and Derek Jarman, been an actress, a singer and a prostitute. She's the world's original rock 'n' roll trans star, crossing the genders in the full glare of publicity. Man Enough to Be a Woman is the wild, hilarious, and shameless account of Jayne's life from her cissy-boy childhood in Georgia to her 90s renaissance, as a new wave of superstars claim her as their inspiration.

Story
One of Billboard's 100 Greatest Music Books of All Time: The provocative transgender advocate and lead singer of the punk rock band Against Me! provides a searing account of her search for identity and her true self. It began in a bedroom in Naples, Florida, when a misbehaving punk teenager named Tom Gabel, armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a headful of anarchist politics, landed on a riff. Gabel formed Against Me! and rocketed the band from its scrappy beginnings-banging on a drum kit made of pickle buckets-to a major-label powerhouse.

There's No Bones in Ice Cream by Sylvain Sylvain is the inside story of glam heroes the New York Dolls - outrageous, defiant, sleaze kings, transgender posers, drug casualties, and victims, not just of their own excess but of an unsympathetic music industry that simply didn't know how to process them. Though their brief, sensation-filled yet doomed career produced just two albums, the Dolls exerted an influence on rock that changed it forever. A cross between the Rolling Stones and the Sex Pistols, the Dolls became the link in the chain between them.

As a muse, she collaborated with some of the boldest artists of the past four decades. The scope of Debbie Harry’s impact on our culture has been matched only by her reticence to reveal her rich inner life - until now.

Some New Kind of Kick begins as an intimate coming-of-age tale.

Reissued for the 40th anniversary of the Oscar-winning, Sissy Spacek-starring film of the same name, Coal Miner's Daughter recounts Loretta Lynn's astonishing journey to become one of the original queens of country music. Loretta grew up dirt poor in the mountains of Kentucky, she was married at 13 years old, and became a mother soon after.

Soon, she began penning songs and singing in front of honky-tonk audiences and eventually made her way to Nashville, securing her place in country music history.

As a young child in North Carolina, Jacob Tobia wasn't the wrong gender, they just had too much of the stuff. Barbies? Yes. Playing with bugs? Absolutely. Getting muddy? Please. Princess dresses? You betcha. Jacob wanted it all, but because they were "a boy", they were told they could only have the masculine half. Acting feminine labelled them "a sissy" and brought social isolation. It took Jacob years to discover that being "a sissy" isn't something to be ashamed of. It's a source of pride.

For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans—and all movie lovers—could have hoped for. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Excellent book, get it!
This is a very interesting book on many fronts. The bravery and punkness (if that’s a word) of Jayne Country shine through. The stories from the state of Georgia and family shine through for me as well as the tales of the dingy New York clubs I’d idolized as a young punk rocker. I think this book could also open the eyes of someone who may be going through gender issues and has the capability to teach the rest of us a thing or two. Thank you Wayne/Jayne County. Love and respect.

Jayne!
The best audiobook ever. Jayne’s narration is stunning. I never thought I’d get to hear Jayne County waxing poetic about the Krystal but now I just want it played on a loop at my funeral.

mental illness in a wig.
I sometimes Finish an audio book and wonder why didn't the author narrate this book himself?
some people have great voices for instance Steve Jones of the sex pistols, he did a decent job on decent job of narration of his book lonely boy.
other times people whom I'm very familiar with their voice and they have pleasant accents do not narrate their own autobiography & it riddles me.
In this case the Narration should have absolutely been left it up to someone else someone with a similar Georgia accent but that did not sound like they were reading from a piece of paper they had never held in their hand.
The story is exactly as you expect a mixture of temper tantrums, random sex, and bad drugs throughout the late sixties and into the early eighties.
It is pretty hilarious to me after actually listening to the electric chairs albums that it is a riddle to Jane why she never achieved the mainstream success and a big time record deal with songs like if you don't wanna fuck me fuck off.
yeah I wonder why that never made it to Casey Kasem top 10.
And even though in that very era there were amazing rock bands Ramones, Richard Hell, Johnny thunders, New York Dolls... segue into Blondie Talking Heads etc.
Jane county was not one of those people.
they may have been friends and they may have frequented the same places but Jane county was not on par with those people there was no way she was going to get the same recognition or same record deal, it isn't a mystery.
some insight to the personality.
some perspective.
but alot of the confusion & freak outs youd expect.
