![]() Michael Tearson, SingOut! magazine Excellent. Arthur Wood, FolkWax Exhilarating and enlightening. ![]() Eals’ work is way beyond exceptional and has set the biographical bar at a whole new level. Eals’ gristladen biography relates the story of this musician in Wide Screen Technicolor complete with Surround Sound. Thoroughly researched? Engagingly written? Covers all the bases? I’d say yes on all counts and more!. If it was the only book to be found on a desert island, it would keep its discoverer thoroughly engrossed until the rescue boat had arrived. Paul Zollo, American Songwriter magazine Likely to go down in the history of music journalism as one of the most comprehensive tomes ever written about a performer. Does justice to one of the greatest singer/songwriters this country has known. As deep and expansive as Goodman’s music. Gary Whitehouse, Green Man Review Stunning scholarship. The author’s attention to detail, journalist’s experience and storyteller’s ear come to the fore. Mark Athitakis, CityPaper, Washington, D.C. Chris Spector, The Midwestern Record A shadow history of the ’70s mainstream. Tom Shea, The Republican, Springfield, Massachusetts What a cool book about a cool guy. Peter Feniak, The Globe and Mail Sensationally researched and lovingly written. Dave Hoekstra, Chicago Sun-Times, Jeff Tamarkin, Harp magazine, Burt Constable, Daily Herald, Chicago Goodman’s charisma and good-time energy shine through in hundreds of anecdotes. My overall rating for Season 2: 8.Definitive. The third and fourth seasons are in my opinion, the best seasons in the entire series, so if you thought season 2 was great, just wait until you see what's next. We have seen the show blossom into all this in just Season 2 alone, and things get even more funny and the show expands to even more heights in the next seasons. ![]() It has that perfect combination of funny and sweet, and takes place in a town that is almost like a character in its own right. Parks and Recreation is almost like a live-action version of The Simpsons. With that being said, I think the show really came into its own and has proven to be extremely original and fresh, unlike most other live-action sitcoms. I mean, when you have a season that is literally 18 episodes longer, it is bound to be an improvement. Also his gun-fire ring tone is amazing! Season 2 as a whole is a major improvement over Season 1. My favorite moments in all the "government shutting down debacle", are Ron' child-like glee over the entire situation. And conflict between Leslie and the new state auditors are reaching a boiling point as the Pawene government has temporarily been shut down. Tom's new relationship with Lucy is beginning to heat up. We see April and Andy's "will-they wont-they" storyline reach its conclusion. "Freddy Spaghetti" is a pretty funny episode in its own right, but what it does best is provide closure for a lot of on-going storylines that ran throughout the season. The writers used traits like how caring and hard-working she is in comedic ways. Even though they made her more smart, she became funnier as a character. A good example is main protagonist, Leslie Knope, who acted very air-headed and foolish in the first season, but has become a much more intelligent and dedicated government employee. I think the biggest improvement is how the characters developed and some even changed drastically from how they were depicted in Season 1. They found the right tone, the writing became much stronger, and the characters really came into their own. With Season 2, the writers were given the opportunity of having a full season to help build upon the much shorter Season 1. What a long, but entertaining journey it has been. So we have made it to the end of Season 2.
