"The strange thing about Altamont, with all its horrors—brilliantly and intimately documented by the Maysleses and by Stanley Booth in his book The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones—is that one still wishes one had been there. (I interviewed Stanley onstage in 2012 after a screening of the film, and he still seemed traumatized by the gig, all these years later.) The film and Booth’s book can both be usefully cross-referenced with Sonny Barger’s autobiography, in which he concedes that while it may have been a big night for the Stones it was just another night for the Angels! One of the great moments in documentary is when we focus on Barger at the edge of the stage, looking at Jagger as though he might still decide to beat the crap out of him, as no one had looked at him since he was a little boy at school in England."

A fun free to play open world gacha game. The nice thing is you don't have to spend money in the game if you don't want to. It gives you a lot of freedom to explore and earn the in-game currency by doing daily quests and the main story quests. You can also play mutliplayer with your friends and it is cross platform so everyone can play together no matter what they play the game on. The story isn't anything complicated. It's simple and easy to follow, but it is a good story and it's fun just exploring everywhere. The only drawback is the higher endgame level grinding in the game gets to be a bit of a chore with limited resources that take a long time to regenerate. Other than that, the game is great and offers a lot of things to do with the main story, side quests, and events.

BookInspector (124 KP) rated Innocent: A Vanessa Michael Munroe Novel in Books

Sep 24, 2020

This is a second book in Vanessa Munroe series. This new job was very needed, after character’s African adventures. (The Informationist) It makes me feel that author puts a lot of effort in making her research about the environment she is going to write. I loved all the details about the cult she mentioned and I am really glad she wrote this book because it educates people about what might possibly be going on inside such cults and how it makes people feel after they leave them. I do understand it is fictional work, but it was very close to all the documentaries I have seen regarding cults. This book is not very fast paced but there is a lot of insight to how Munroe’s brain works and her ability to integrate in to the situations. The ending could’ve been little more tense, but I was not disappointed with it. It is captivating book, it sucks you in and doesn’t let you down.
