February Reads: Business Books

February is just ending and I have already read more books in 2016 than I did in all of 2015. So far this month I have read four and I am almost finished with another. I am breaking up the posts by classifications starting with Business.

I read two business books this month and I am up to three for the year. My educational background is in business so it makes sense that I would try to stay well read on the subject.

The first one was a Christmas gift from my wife. The book was written by rocker Gene Simmons of Kiss fame on the topic of entrepreneurship. The book was called Me, Inc.



I found the book to be an enjoyable read since I like to read biographies of musicians and business books. The target market seamed to be a bit younger than me.

My next business book was on management. This book had a unique perspective too! The perspective from the bible.



I enjoyed Myron Rush's book Management: A Biblical Approach and I found it was a great follow up to the business book I read in January by James C. Hunter. It is neat how books fit like that at times. As I try to meet my Goodreads Challenge of 26 books this year I will probably read a few more business books. My next segment on February reads will feature classics so stay tuned.

Part One: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2014

Again Deep Purple did not make the cut.I might be bias but the band has one of the most iconic songs in rock "Smoke on the Water." The album "Machine Head" is a masterpiece. When you have guitarists named Richie Blackmore and Steve Morse in your band in different eras you might be great.

I'm not saying they were the only band not to make it int the Hall of Fame that had a good argument for membership. I am not taking away from this year's class. Just saying Deep Purple belongs.

Kiss

I remember them from the 70s. They could be the first rock group, I was exposed to which was a departure from the cowboy music I was into at the time. They have a huge fan base and they still make headlines and grab media attention today.Can't argue this selection...

Nirvana

Honestly, I liked Pearl Jam better as far as grunge bands back in the day. A lot of Nirvana songs hold up well when you listen to them today. They had Dave Grohl on drums which is always a good thing. It was sad when Kurt Cobain killed himself. it is sad whenever a 27 year old does that. Would they be inducted now if Kurt Cobain was still alive? I think probably not. Kurt Cobain has become a mythical, idol to some which is probably good for Rock and Roll.

There were more but I will get to them on another post!
