The stories behind the music with an album by album analysis, accompanied by images from many of the most well known contemporary rock photographers . The Who defined a generation and rocked the world. "My Generation," "Pinball Wizard," and "Baba O'Riley" are some of the most well known tracks in rock history. The rock opera "Tommy," the genre-defining "Live at Leeds," and the classic Quadrophenia are just some of The Who's albums. The band's original lineup had an amazing 15-year span, as they toured their way around the globe, performing live and recording until the death of drummer Keith Moon in 1978. Then John Entwhistle died in 2002, but the remaining founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend continue to tour. This book takes fans on the journey with the band as they conquered the world: from small London clubs to Madison Square Garden, from seven-inch vinyl releases to multimillion-selling albums, all the way to recognition as global rock gods.

I was so amazed and honored to be included. It s so good to see the culture being embraced and spread around like this all across the world!   <b>Bun B</b> </p><p>That s a really dope one bro, all my Brooklyn n----s hitting me bout it. They love it.   <b>Prodigy</b>    </p><p>Every time I write a lyric about my city, it s like a little love note. But never in a million years did I think that those words would be printed up and hand delivered. I was beyond stoked. And when he posted those same lyrics on the walls of my favorite art gallery in the city next to a bunch of other MC s I respect?! That was the icing on my vegan cupcake. Thanks Jay Shells.  <b>Murs</b></p><p>At the time, Instagram was fairly new and s till mostly a photography app. I was running around historical locations in Queens taking pics for my account, when someone sent me a pic of the quote. I was like no way in hell. I drove to the location and took crazy pics. I was really proud to show everyone because South Jamaica is so influential to my career. <b>Pharoahe Monch</b> </p><p>Felt real good hearing and seeing my lyrics used for Rap Quotes signs by Jay Shells. What made it most special is for the people in my hood to be proud for me to be rappin naming the corners we stood on and the people we lost. <b>Thirstin Howl III </b> </p><p>My phone was blowing up the day my sign went up on the corner of the block I was raised on. My family was so proud. It meant and s till means a lot to me. I have a framed picture of it in my home.  <b>Tone Trump</b></p><p>I remember going back to my neighborhood to see the sign go up. It was a nostalgic moment to be standing next to the field where I played sports, behind the housing project building where I was raised. I took a photo and posted it. The next day it was stolen, that s Brownsville.  <b>Masta Ace</b> </p><p>When I first started seeing the Jay Shells street signs, I immediately thought about how the rhythm and poetry of hip hop has allowed generations to connect and travel the world using their imagination. I thought about the streets that I ve mentioned in my own stories, and how important they ve been to my development as a person and as an artist. I even imagined how some of my lyrics might look in this unique creative format, so I feel honored and s till a bit shocked that it manifested almost exactly as I saw it. Having my art presented in such an authentic and dynamic way means much more to me than having my name in corporate lights. Salute to Jay Shells.  <b>Rakaa (Iriscience), Dilated Peoples</b>  </p><p>Taking lyrics from well-known rap songs, artist Jay Shells creates street signs and installs them at the physical locations referenced on the tracks. The Rap Quotes project is one of the greatest hip-hop themed street art projects of all time ...  <b>Andrew Lasane, Complex </b> </p>

There is plenty of creativity within the international graffiti and street art scene. Writing text messages in public spaces has been a unique art form and a means of communication between humans for over 30,000 years. Many street artists work only with text, written messages or poems, and not necessarily only with colourful murals, styles, tags and logos. Street Messages is the first publication that delivers a deep insight into this literary form of expression in the world of global street art. The streets are full of artistic and poetic forms of expression messages written by graffiti and street artists. Street Messages offers a historic background to written messages in public spaces and introduces more than 80 artists from across the world who work exclusively or partly with text.The vast body of information and numerous exclusive quotes and words of wisdom makes Street Messages the first book to shed some light on this as yet undocumented form of street art culture. Features artwork by Banksy, Dolk, Ben Eine, Faith 47, Flint..., Kid Acne, Know Hope, Mobstr, Skki and many more. Nicholas Ganz aka Keinom is a freelance photographer and author from Essen, Germany. He started to paint in the streets in 1994 and has been documenting graffiti and street art ever since. In 2004, he published his first book, Graffiti World, which became a world-wide best-seller and was trans- lated into 11 languages. In 2006, he released Graffiti Women and went on to write several books about Burma/Myanmar.

<p><i>The Godfather</i> is a classic. Not just of Hollywood or America, but in worldwide cinema. Its legacy not only lives on in the 21st century, but it has also transcended its origins, today meaning more to so many than just a movie: it's a religion. Its cast of future Hollywood heartthrobs and acting icons - Brando! Pacino! De Niro! Caan! Duvall! Keaton! - was perfect. Its script, a masterpiece. Its score too. It became 1972's highest grossing movie and would remain the world's top grossing film for decades. And it received unprecedented critical acclaim.</p><p><i>The Little Book of The Godfather</i> is a celebration of this classic slice of cinema on its 50th birthday. It has everything a Godfather fanatic could want, and certainly could not refuse: from to killer stats to stunning facts, production notes to classic quotes, stories and tales from the set and the ongoing impact of the film's now legendary status. It's all here. Come and get it.</p><p><b>'Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.'</b><br/><i>Peter Clemenza</i></p><p><b>'You found paradise in America. You had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Don Corleone, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me "Godfather". You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do murder - for money.'</b><br/><i>Don Corleone</i></p>
