Spike Jones Jr Carries On for Dad in New Rock Beat

Spike Jones Jr. at 19 carries on his father’s musical legacy with a groovy mix rather than pure comedy. He self-produces a new band of seven musicians aged 19 to 23, studies at Santa Monica City College between tours, and pursues recording though one track about banana peel smoking was banned by radio stations. The elder Jones died in May 1965, with Jr. rescuing the act and balancing schoolwork with road engagements and performances in Long Beach Civic Light Opera’s Oliver! finale.

The Fiction of Nathanael West reviewed by Randall Reid

Randall Reid’s study The Fiction of Nathanael West surveys West’s brief output and positions him among major modern writers. It argues that West’s two famous novels Miss Lonelyhearts and Day of the Locust justify high literary stature despite mixed early reception. The critic offers a thorough influence analysis linking West to Joyce Huysmans Cabell Baudelaire and Anderson.
