Co-written with award-winning musician-author-filmmaker Allan Slutsky (Standing in the Shadows of Motown), TEEN IDOL ON THE ROCKS not only tells the story of Bobby Rydell, but that of American pop culture through the past six decades. In its pages, Bobby writes of his encounters with such giants of 20th century show business as Frank Sinatra, Ann-Margret, The Beatles, Red Skelton, Jack Benny and Dick Clark, whose Philly-based American Bandstand helped make Rydell the world's biggest teen idol in the years between Elvis Presley's army induction and the advent of Beatlemania. A time when Frank Sinatra called Bobby his "favorite" pop singer.
But TEEN IDOL ON THE ROCKS also is a very personal - and often-painful - story. Bobby delves into the darker and more dramatic aspects of his life, including the death of his beloved first wife, Camille, his decades of alcohol abuse, and the last-ditch transplant surgery that saved his life.
Galaxies act as the cities of the Universe, from small "towns" with only a few tens of thousands of stars to massive metropolises boasting billions. What makes up a galaxy? How are these galaxies affected by the environment around them? And most importantly, how is it possible to study objects that are billions of light years away and gain knowledge about their inner workings? We'll take a broad look at galaxies and the universe as a whole, from spirals to ellipticals, from black holes to stars, and from dark matter to dark energy.
Our Biz Tuesdays series at the Fords Branch returns on Tuesday, June 18 @ 6:30 PM with a special presentation on social media. It is difficult for business owners to prioritize social media or even take it seriously when the ROI is vague. Most often it is also unclear how the platforms fit into their business priorities. The easy thing to do is to outsource it and make it somebody else's problem. Mapping a dollar spent to dollars earned may take you more than an evening networking at the library. But what if you were able to figure where social media fits into your business? That is not too difficult.
