| 07/18/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) Many of the great rock bands rise because together, they are more than just the sum of their individual members talents. The Eagles have always been a perfect example of that proposition. Yet, when the infamous Eagles pressure cooker finally blew up in 1980 (although they took a full two years to officially announce what everybody had come to realize by then anyway), they couldn t have chosen more different paths than those followed by the five individuals emerging from the pieces. Don Felder discovered the real estate business, while also appearing (sometimes alongside other former Eagles members) on albums by Bob Seger, Stevie Nicks and other artists, penning contributions to movie soundtracks ( Heavy Metal and Fast Times at Ridgemont High; the latter album ironically reunited, individually, all members of the Eagles

While most of the discussions of Frank Zappa have to do with his satirical and off-color lyrics, the fact remains that he was one of the finest and most underappreciated guitarists around. This collection places the spotlight squarely on Zappa s mastery of the guitar. Recorded for the most part in 1979 and 1980 (with a few tracks dating as far back as 1977), Shut Up n Play Yer Guitar is simply a collection of guitar solos. Even though most of the tracks were just edited out of their original song context, they fare well as stand-alone pieces, as Zappa was an ever-inventive player.

These tracks were simply the guitar solos from Inca Roads, but thanks to Zappa s ability for instant composition, each version has its own complete story to tell, without ever being redundant. Other highlights are the reggae-tinged Treacherous Cretins and the beautiful Pink Na
Children today live in a world chock-full of hidden agendas, from direct misinformation to subliminal indoctrination. Whether it’s TV commercials telling kids they ought to be bribed into eating vegetables, or popular video game companies trying to drag children into their own corporate lawsuits, there have definitely been easier times to be a parent. Without much in the way of critical thinking skills, kids make easy prey for any company, politician, or even a children’s book author with a narrative to push.
We know to be wary of corporations and politicians, but we’d really like to think that authors would keep their own spiritual and political beliefs out of their offerings when it comes to children. Well, authors are people too and often weave their personal viewpoints into the stories they tell. For anyone who has a child in their life, it’s definitely worth knowing what lies between the lines. Here are ten children’s books with hidden agendas, be it cases of hidden

TOPICS: From Blumenfeld s artice: Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt s new book, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, is without doubt one of the most important publishing events in the annals of American education in the last hundred years. John Dewey s School and Society, published in 1899, set American education on its course to socialism. Rudolf Flesch s Why Johnny Can t Read, published in 1955, informed American parents that there was something terribly wrong with the way the schools were teaching children to read, and my own book, NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education, published in 1984, explained in great detail how and why the decline in public education was taking place.
