David Young

Berlino Est, 1975. Quando la detective Karin Müller - ufficiale della Kriminalpolizei - è chiamata per occuparsi dell'omicidio di un'adolescente ritrovata ai piedi del Muro, pensa sia un'indagine di routine. Ma quando arriva sulla scena del crimine capisce che non è così: il volto della giovane è sfigurato, senza occhi e senza denti, e sembra che qualcuno abbia martoriato quel corpo dopo il decesso. Tutto lascia pensare che la ragazza stesse cercando la fuga… ma da Ovest. La Stasi - il famigerato Ministero della sicurezza organizzazione di Stato - sin dall'inizio supervisiona le indagini e ordina a Karin di scoprire l'identità della ragazza senza approfondire il movente e i colpevoli…

Se una delle tue gambe viene amputata in seguito a un incidente automobilistico, le persone cominciano a trattarti in modo diverso. Il sedicenne Dylan dovrà imparare a farci i conti: dopo l’intervento che lo ha lasciato con una sola gamba, è stato mollato dalla sua ragazza e preso di mira dai bulli della scuola, mentre i suoi genitori vorrebbero rinchiuderlo sotto una campana di vetro per proteggerlo da ogni pericolo. Un giorno, grazie a una fortunata coincidenza, Dylan attraversa l’ingresso di una palestra di MMA, dove conosce Santana, una grintosa combattente messicana che sta affrontando delle sfide molto simili alle sue e che, un po’ controvoglia, lo introdurrà nel mondo degli sport da combattimento.

Young Americans is the ninth studio album by the English musician David Bowie, released on 7 March 1975 by RCA Records. The album marked a departure from the glam rock style of Bowie's previous albums, showcasing his interest in soul and R&B music. Bowie would call the album's sound "plastic soul", describing it as "the squashed remains of ethnic music as it survives in the age of Muzak rock, written and sung by a white limey". Initial recording sessions took place in Philadelphia with producer Tony Visconti and a variety of musicians, including guitarist Carlos Alomar, who would become one of Bowie's most frequent collaborators, and singer Luther Vandross. Bowie drew influence from the sound of "local dance halls", which were blaring with the "lush strings, sliding hi-hat whispers, and swanky R&B rhythms of Philadelphia Soul". Later sessions took place in New York City, including contributions from John Lennon. Although Bowie was among the first English pop musicians of the era to overtly engage with black musical styles, the album was very successful in the US; the album itself reached the Top 10 in the Billboard charts, with the song "Fame" hitting the number-one the same year the album was released. It was generally well received by critics. In 2013, New Musical Express ranked the album at No. 175 in its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Few figures in 20th century American music had as pervasive an influence as David Crosby. As a founding member of the Byrds, he shaped the ringing sound of 1960s folk-rock and pioneered trippy psychedelia, yet his greatest fame came as part of Crosby, Stills & Nash, a supergroup he formed with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash that helped usher in the mature, reflective '70s.
