Now there's a second edition of Went to See the Gypsy! Are you a Baby Boomer that still rocks? Or a fan of rock's golden era of any age? Do you remember the first vinyl record you bought? Do you still play your favorite songs two or three times in a row? Then you will enjoy Went To See the Gypsy! The title is from a Dylan song about Elvis, and it evokes the journey I've been on since the Beatles took America by storm in 1964. My friends and I were so taken by the Beatles that we made up a fake-Beatles band with tennis racket guitars and lipsynced the songs to the neighbors at a nickel a pop! And I've been following the rock gypsy caravans ever since, from the British Invasion bands on AM transistor radios, to the psychedelic revolution on FM radio, to punk rock on the left of the dial, to alternative music on CDs, and all of it over again on digital!

A masterful work of personal reportage, this volume is also a vibrant portrait of a mysterious people and an essential document of a disappearing culture. Fabled, feared, romanticized, and reviled, the Gypsies—or Roma—are among the least understood people on earth. Their culture remains largely obscure, but in Isabel Fonseca they have found an eloquent witness. In Bury Me Standing, alongside unforgettable portraits of individuals—the poet, the politician, the child prostitute—Fonseca offers sharp insights into the humor, language, wisdom, and taboos of the Roma. She traces their exodus out of India 1,000 years ago and their astonishing history of persecution: enslaved by the princes of medieval Romania; massacred by the Nazis; forcibly assimilated by the communist regimes; evicted from their settlements in Eastern Europe, and most recently, in Western Europe as well. Whether as handy scapegoats or figments of the romantic imagination, the Gypsies have always been with us—but never before have they been brought so vividly to life. Includes fifty black and white photos.

This book is planned as the first in a series of five that tell the story of our character Gypsy. This book tells the story of Gypsys first ten years on the road......the first 120 pages primarily are set in Israel, Greece and other parts of Europe but after the first 166 pages the story really takes off as he makes his first trip to India then onwards into Australia before going back up into Asia for a journey to Japan, then back to Nepal and India......then we follow Gypsys adventures as he attempts to set himself up as a gem dealer........all the while he is on a spiritual search and this is a theme of the book as he searches for enlightenment and the knowledge of what lies beyond death......in this book a number of religions and spiritual paths are explored by our main character as are a number of different types of drugs. Adventures are had along the way such as gold smuggling, distributing leaflets for a banned organization in China and becoming a senior high school lecturer in Japan with the use of somebody elses papers. I hope that this book will be entertaining for armchair travelers and an inspiration to young would be travelers and adventurers.

I'm walking into the middle of a story that's thousands of years old, and I'm the new girl on the block who doesn't have a clue how this world even works. My only guides happen to be the most lethal of the bunch.They decide who lives or dies. They decide who gets stabbed or tortured.Yeah...I've gone and drawn attention to myself, and the ones paying attention are the ones everyone else seems to fear.How do these things always happen to me?**Reverse Harem**Language warning**Sexual content**Dark Humor
