 Bookreporter.com - TIETAM BROWN by Mick Foley
Mick Foley's greatest strength and weakness as a novelist is that people know who he is. Foley used to make his living as a professional wrestler, in multiple personas such as "Cactus Jack Manson," "Mankind," and "Foley", which were alternately malevolent and (from a fan standpoint) benevolent but always slightly wacky.
Brown is slightly off-kilter, deserted by his father at birth (an event that also resulted in the death of his mother).
Antietam Brown IV is hardly a role model, parading a series of bed partners in front of his son and adhering to the "three strikes" rule.

 Tucson Weekly: New Age, Spew Age (August 27 - September 2, 1998)
Brown purposelessly meanders from one trite, '90s-style spiritualistic anecdote to the next in a lackluster quest which only pretends to delve beyond the superficial.
Brown attempts this, but his flimsy, interminable narrative focusing on the Westerner's insular view into a culture he doesn't understand butchers the concept, thus moving spiritualism from a sincere, religious realm--something special and cherished whether private or shared--to page one of a supermarket tabloid.
But Brown and his book's intermittent players, rather than learning about these cultures as outsiders, excerpt quaint ideas and mold them into their own Western, ego-bloated, Christian-oriented perspectives, as if sacred components of any belief system could be plucked from one culture and appropriated into another.

 Mick Brown Cycles - Nottinghamshire
Mick Brown Cycles was established in 1976 by former International racing cyclist Mick Brown.
Mick tries to turn all repairs around the same day, too, so if you run into bicycle problems, Mick is your man to sort them out, and get you backon the road.
In between times, Mick can be seen, or rather heard, on Nottingham County Radio, answering questions on any topic concerning cycling, he's active in the local cycle racing fraternity, and is more than willing to help aspiring young racers with his wealth of knowledge on all things racing cycling.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Tietam Brown at Epinions.com
Tietam Brown is one of those books that captures your attention throughout, but not because it's a happy story with a happy ending, but more because it's a demented tale about a destructive family, and you can't wait to see what next morbid detail occurs.
Tietam Brown is Foley's third book, but first novel and is a tragically hilarious tale of a boy who is out of homefront options and his father who he hadn't ever seen in his entire life finally takes him in as a teenager.
Andy Brown, short for Antietam Brown III, has an anger and rage in him that causes him to snap when his back is against the wall, thus causing him to be jumped around from household to household in his early years.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | Observer review: The Dance of 17 Lives by Mick Brown
Brown first meets the yak herder's son in 2000 when he is 14 years old and under house arrest in exile in India - after a hazardous escape across the Himalayas from the Chinese authorities in Tibet.
Brown asks to write a book on Trinley Dorje's young life and is told by the omniscient teenager to be sure his 'motivation is correct'.
Brown takes great pains to document the profound impression Trinley Dorje makes on all who meet him and relates the Karmapa's family's claims of miracles surrounding his birth (such as the rainbows that appeared over the family tent the night he was born) but Trinley Dorje's supposed charisma failed to communicate itself to this reader.

 Amazon.de:  The Spiritual Tourist: English Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Mick Brown retains a healthy scepticism about some claims, but he also professes that he has "come to believe that the world is more of spirit than of matter", and so respects rather than vilifies those he meets.
Brown's problem seems to be he is a tourist, and has not yet become serious about looking for truth.
Though Brown approaches his journey with the skeptical eye of a journalist and is forthright in his opinions, he never writes with condescension towards his subjects and allows the reader to make their own judgment about the spiritual validity of the various gurus encountered in his journey.

 Amazon.ca: The Dance of 17 Lives: The Incredible True Story of Tibet's 17th Karmapa: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Brown, a freelance journalist who began the book as a magazine article after the lama's daring escape, traces the Karmapa's story but also uses the account to give Western readers a quick sketch of the nature, history and perennial conflicts of Tibetan Buddhism.
Brown is the first independent writer to look at the complex story of the Karmapa succession, and the dispute which has arisen out of it.
Brown, a journalist who has covered religious subjects before, is not a Buddhist, and indeed his own religious ideas are not part of this book, which is an astonishingly impartial view of the sometimes controversial and (to those of a different religious persuasion) often utterly weird process of making a new divine hereditary leader.

He returned to university to appear in the 1987 Melbourne University Revue "Laminex On The Rocks", where he and fellow cast member Jason Stephens were head-hunted by a sheepish D-Generation who had seen the error of their ways and were keen to sign "the one that got away".
Mick and Tony have been misusing Pete Smith's talents since mid-1990 when he provided a few voice-overs for "The Late Late Show", an "ill-fated" D-Generation project shot but never screened by Channel Nine (where Pete has worked since 1963).
Mick and Tony also gained great pleasure in seeing how red they could make her face go, from making her perform sex line sketches to calling up her mum on air.

 Compass Records, Nashville, Tennessee
Comprising 2/5 of the Irish American super-group Solas, Mick McAuley and Winifred Horan join forces for the first time as a duo for the release of Serenade.
"This record," explains accordionist Mick McAuley of Serenade, his new duo album with fiddler Winifred Horan, "took a while to get finished." McAuley says this with a sly undercurrent of irony in his voice, for in this case "a while" refers to the better part of ten years.
Though he and Horan are best known as part of the internationally acclaimed Irish-American band Solas, their musical kinship stretches back even farther, to the bustling Irish music renaissance that blossomed in the early '90s in New York City, where they first met a decade ago.
