upon culture and creativity with particular emphasis in the field
of popular music, popular culture, mass media and the visual arts,
his writings have appeared in numerous magazines and journals. In
late 1999/early 2000, his first book on the nationally known Hines
Farm Blues Club was published on his imprint Jive Bomb Press. Titled
"I'll Take You There: An Oral and Photographic History of the
Hines Farm Blues Club. Upon completion of this publication Donahue
sought out street poet Oba Maja from Chicago, whom he had a chance
meeting in 2000. Inspired by his poetry the two worked together to
release a poetry book of Oba Maja's work title "Avenue of Happiness"
on his own imprint Jive Bomb Press. Currently Donahue is researching
two new book projects, one focusing on the history and message of
American rap and punk music, and the other on outsider art with personal
anecdotes from his grassroots campaigns/travels. |
