Ex-Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott was attacked and murdered while performing with his new band Damageplan on Dec. 8, 2004. While the media focused only on the crime, several unsung heroes remained forgotten. This is the story of three brave men who made a difference in countless lives by paying the price with their own. Over the span of 14 months, author Chris A has researched the people, places and circumstances leading to the horrific murders of beloved guitarist, Dimebag Darrell Abbott, bodyguard Jeffery Mayhem Thompson, professional roadie Erin Halk and fan, husband and father, Nathan Bray. The result is an insightful, thought provoking book that induces a powerful range of emotions. While the book explores the background and motive of the killer who callously took the lives of these four innocent people, the focus goes far beyond the specifics of the crime. A Vulgar Display of Power: Courage and Carnage at the Alrosa Villa crosses many genres; its part rock n ro

The second half provides gripping minute-by-minute documentation of the tragic

And I am not saying that Alex cannot complain about her job as everybody does, but I am saying that she doesn’t do anything about it. Wow. Half the fun of reading through it is the realization that it's really a "choose your own adventure" of intelligence and business analysis techniques, where you can take their concepts and really mold them to your situation. Indeed, he chickens have come home to roost. I liked the book, but the author has not thought through all the implications of the combination of magic and science. Savage is not afraid to name names.
While I find his radio show a bit hard to take at times I have to admit that Michael Savage has been absolutely consistent over the years. There’s a lot of talking –a lot!, a lot of drifting around, of gorgeous (or striki
