Young Lions (book)
''Young Lions'' is the 2010 debut graphic novella by American author Blaise Larmee. The novella was created in order to compete for one of the prestigious self-publishing grants awarded by the Xeric Foundation. After receiving the grant in 2009 Larmee stated "I imagined after I got the Xeric that I would either write a different graphic novel to publish, or pocket the money. I ended up liking ''Young Lions''." Summary The story concerns three friends who take a fresh-faced newcomer on a road trip in the hopes that she will inspire and revive them. Reception Conceived as a Xeric submission, the book was noted for its rushed appearance, conventional narrative, and appropriated style. While reviews of the book tended to be positive, The subject of the author himself was polarizing. Larmee repeatedly described his creative process as "sarcastic" and agreed that "public discourse is inseparable from the book itself." Dan Nadel wrote,It is also, most obviously, the work of a youn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Young Lions (album)
''Young Lions'' is the fifth solo album by Adrian Belew released in May 1990 by Atlantic Records. The album featured David Bowie singing on two tracks, "Pretty Pink Rose" and "Gunman", the latter of which Bowie and Belew co-wrote since he was acting as musical director and lead guitarist on the Sound+Vision Tour with Bowie. Two cover versions appear on the album: " Heartbeat", a song Belew had co-written and performed with King Crimson while he was a member; and " Not Alone Anymore", a Traveling Wilburys song from '' Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1''. This was Belew's tribute to Roy Orbison who had recently died. The other songwriting "collaboration" on the album is with Nashville radio evangelist Prophet Omega. Working decades-old tapes of Omega's broadcasts into "I Am What I Am", Belew, "listed him as a co-author, so in case a couple of hefty guys drop by my place some day, I can say 'here's your money.' " Al Kooper, who collects "oddball" recordings, gave a 47-minute recording of O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Young Lions (novel)
''The Young Lions'' (1948) is a novel by Irwin Shaw about three soldiers in World War II. Plot Christian Diestl is at first a sympathetic Austrian drawn to Nazism by despair for his future but willing to sacrifice Jews if necessary. Noah Ackerman is an American Jew facing discrimination. Michael Whitacre is an American WASP who struggles with his lack of direction. The three have very different wars: Diestl becomes less sympathetic as he willingly sacrifices more and more merely to survive; Ackerman finally overcomes the discrimination of his fellows in the army only to be nearly undone by the horror of the camps; Whitacre, still without meaning in his life, survives them both. Themes In a 1953 interview, Shaw commented, "what I was trying to do in ''The Young Lions'' was to show the world at a certain point in its history, its good and evil, and as many people as I could crowd into the book struggling through that world, trying to find some reason for trying to stay alive in ...

The Young Lions (album)
''The Young Lions'' is an album by an ad hoc group of jazz musicians: Wayne Shorter, Frank Strozier, Lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons, Bob Cranshaw, Albert Heath and Louis Hayes. It was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City in 1960 and released in 1961 on Vee-Jay Records. Album title The album title echoes that of a popular 1948 novel by Irwin Shaw which had been made into a feature film shortly before the album was recorded. In the album's liner notes, saxophonist Cannonball Adderley uses Shaw's novel to make an argument about jazz. Adderley writes that there is a tension in modern jazz between tradition (as represented by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Thelonious Monk) and the avant-garde (which at the time included Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor and Jimmy Giuffre), and suggests that conformity to either traditionalism or the avant-garde is stifling of "true genius": The "young lions" phrase was revived in jazz in the 1980s when, as in 1960, there was a tension be ...

Into the 21st century, widespread discussion on the Internet has popularized these terms. Many of the terms refer to the financial aspects of professional wrestling in addition to in-ring terms.
