Not Just Political

Essays on Life, Family, Education, Free Expression, the Arts, and Entertainment

In this perceptive, provocative, and witty collection of fifty-nine essays, political science professor emeritus Dr. Douglas Young examines a variety of personal topics, educational and free-expression issues, and works of art and entertainment. On the home front, he explores family matters, comical dating mishaps, a hilarious tour of strip clubs, religion, how he earned his very own FBI file, his love of cemeteries, a fascination with UFOs, and many other offbeat interests and adventures. On the educational front, he focuses on the corrosive forces corrupting our vast educational-industrial complex. On the free speech front, Dr. Young details the mounting efforts to restrict our liberties and argues why we must zealously defend our constitutional rights. On the fine arts and entertainment fronts, he reviews many books, films, and records, including works by or about Bob Dylan, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Fleetwood Mac, Bernie Taupin, Woody Allen, Ron Howard, Mel Gibson, Kat Timpf, Greg Gutfeld, Tyrus, Jimmy Failla, and Bill Maher. Also touched on are artists as dissimilar as Emily Dickinson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Salvador Dali, Bela Lugosi, Ed Wood, John Kennedy Toole, John Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ringo Starr, Nick Drake, Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Gene Hackman, Sir Elton John, and Kurt Cobain.
