A blend of This Is Spinal Tap and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the cult classic confessions of a debauched rock ’n’ roller and his adventures in excess on the ’80s hair-metal nostalgia tour through Middle America, now in a revised and updated edition. Once upon a time at the start of the new century, the unheard-of Unband got a chance to drink, fight, and play loud music with ’80s metal bands like Dio and Def Leppard. To the mix they brought illegal pyrotechnics, a giant red inflatable hand with movable digits, a roadie dubiously named Safety Bear, a high tolerance for liver damage, and an infectious love of rock & roll and everything it represents. Unband bassist Michael Ruffino takes us on an epic joyride across a surrealistic American landscape where we meet mute Christian groupies, crack-smoking Girl Scouts, beer-drinking chimps, and thousands of head-bangers who cannot accept that hair metal is dead. Here, too, are uncensored portraits of Ronnie James Dio, Anthrax, Sebastian Bach, Lemmy of Motorhead, and others. Adios, Motherfucker is gonzo rock storytelling at its finest—excessive, incendiary, intelligent, hilarious, and utterly original.

Forced to Marry My Ex By: Christy Cisson Forced to Marry My Ex is a story based on the lifestyle of one of author Christy Cisson's best friends who was in an abusive marriage for over twenty years. It tells of how a powerful boy finds a girl he wants to become his under any circumstance, no matter what. He is a possessive person who can be abusive when he doesn't get what he wants. There are so many women in relationships that they wish either the man would change for the better or they could get out of it. This book will help to give strength and encouragement to women in a similar situation where maybe they can take the steps to finally get out of it before it goes too far or the man winds up killing them out of rage. It is Christy's hope that readers take away from her words of encouragement to see the signs of abuse when it first starts, not turning a blind eye, saying he was just mad or it will not happen again. The longer a relationship like this goes, most men get worse until there is no turning back.
