Narrated by the visionary founding member, Hell's Angel provides a fascinating all-access pass to the secret world of the notorious Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club. Sonny Barger recounts the birth of the original Oakland Hell's Angels and the four turbulent decades that followed. Hell's Angel also chronicles the way the HAMC revolutionized the look of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle and built what has become a worldwide bike-riding fraternity, a beacon for freedom-seekers the world over. 
Dozens of photos, including many from private collections and from noted photographers, provide visual documentation to this extraordinary tale. Never simply a story about motorcycles, colorful characters, and high-speed thrills, Hell's Angel is the ultimate outlaw's tale of loyalty and betrayal, subcultures and brotherhood, and the real price of freedom.

Behind the often outlandish, always fantastic, artistic endeavors of Texas artist Bob "Daddy-O" Wade (second cousin to Roy Rogers) lies a man whose talent and view of the world are as big as Texas itself. When it comes to creating his works, Daddy-O is just as liable to use a pistol as a paintbrush. Here are scores of stories that span a twenty-five-year period, exposing the madness behind the methodology. Daddy-O adopts a Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn approach to recruiting enough colorful sidekicks and resources to create his larger-than-life projects, such as a forty-foot iguana perched on the top of New York City's Lone Star Cafe, the Giant Dancing Frogs of Dallas, a machine-gunned Mardi Gras art van, or a seventy-foot multi-ton saxophone fashioned from oil-field pipes, hubcaps, beer kegs, a surfboard, and an upside-down Volkswagen Beetle.

"I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die."--John Lydon Punk has been romanticized and embalmed in various media. It has been portrayed as an English class revolt and a reckless diversion that became a marketing dream. But there is no disputing its starting point. Every story of punk starts with its idols, the Sex Pistols, and its sneering hero was Johnny Rotten. 
In Rotten, Lydon looks back at himself, the Sex Pistols, and the "no future" disaffection of the time. Much more than just a music book, Rotten is an oral history of punk: angry, witty, honest, poignant, and crackling with energy.
