Take It From Me : Life's a Struggle But You Can Win

Everyone remembers him as the creator of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Bambi, Dumbo, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Fantasia. His films and characters inspired the great Disney theme parks. A creative genius, Walt Disney brought love and laughter to children everywhere. Now for the first time, Marc Eliot presents the real Walt Disney. The author reveals Walt Disney's twenty-five-year association with J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, serving as a Hollywood-based official informant before being promoted to the rank of Special Agent in Charge, rooting out Communists, subversives, and Jews. A lifelong anti-Semite, he absorbed his prejudice from his father, a strict fundamentalist who believed in corporal punishment and forced child labor. Walt Disney's phobic behavior is examined in detail, as is his obsessive hand-washing, heavy drinking, and sexual inadequacies. Unwilling to accept his father's violence as a form of love, and unwilling to "prove" his own identity, he feared he had actually been adopted in infancy and was illegitimate. He spent a lifetime searching for his real mother. Marc Eliot shows how these psycho-sexual conflicts drove Walt to the depths of lifelong despair and how they found expression in his "classic" animated characters and films, now so deeply embedded in American culture. In fact, they were created by a man who used the wealth and prestige they gave him to mold a nightmare empire of vengeance and power. Told against a panoramic view of Hollywood's golden age of glamour and backdoor politics, Walt Disney: Hollywood's Dark Prince is a fascinating work that concludes with a look into the Disney empire as it exists today.

Death of a Rebel

1989: by Marc Eliot- The primal reference on the life and times of Phil Ochs.

F.Watts

One of the very best treatments of the relationship of money to popular music in American popular culture from the beginning of the century to the late 1980's. Rockonomics is particularly strong on the history of the publishing giants ASCAP and BMI,  and the relationship of music to the advertising industry. Although the presentation is weakened slightly by chapters that are merely numbered and not named, the index does allow you to zoom in on periods, issues, or musicians of interest and skip around (as we musicians are prone to do when reading). But all in all, this clears the cigar smoke of industry fat-cats from the room, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to see "duh big picture about duh biz."

I decided to write this book the day after Phil Ochs killed himself. I began to map out a journey, a time-trip through Phil's life. I wanted to talk to anyone who knew him at all, and everyone who knew him well. I began with the family, spending an afternoon in the country with Sonny, Phil's sister. I flew to Los Angeles and spent a week with Michael Ochs, his brother, staying at his house, talking through the nights and days, my tape recorder running constantly. Together we pored over the archives he'd kept of Phil's career. We found old pictures, forgotten letters; we listened to acetates of Phil singing songs he' never released. As the days passed, the gaps in Michael's memory began to fill in. We made a list of people I should see. I started making arrangements.
