Mercy, Mercy, Me: The Art, Loves and Demons of Marvin GayeTwenty years after his murder at the hands of his own father, Marvin Gaye continues to define the hopes and shattered dreams of the Motown generation. A performer whose career spanned the history of rhythm and blues, from doo wop to the sultriest of soul music, Gaye's artistry magnified the contradictions that defined America's coming of age in the tumultuous 1970s. In his most searching and ambitious work to date, acclaimed critic Michael Eric Dyson

Twenty years after his murder at the hands of his own father, Marvin Gaye continues to define the hopes and shattered dreams of the Motown generation. A performer whose career spanned the history of rhythm and blues, from doo-wop to the sultriest of soul music, Gaye's artistry magnified the contradictions that defined America's coming of age in the tumultuous 1970s. In his most searching and ambitious work to date, acclaimed critic Michael Eric Dyson illuminates both Marvin Gaye's stellar achievements and stunning personal decline -- and offers an unparalleled assessment of the cultural and political legacy of R&B on American culture. Through interviews with those close to Gaye -- from his musical beginnings in a black church in Washington, D.C., to his days as a "ladies' man" in Motown's stable of young singers, from the artistic heights of the landmark album What's Going On? to his struggles with addiction and domestic violence -- Dyson draws an indelible portrait of the tensions that shaped contemporary urban America: economic adversity, the drug industry, racism, and the long legacy of hardship. Published to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of Gaye's death in 1984, and infused with the soulful prose that has become Michael Eric Dyson's trademark, Mercy, Mercy Me is at once a celebration of an American icon whose work continues to inspire, and a revelatory and incisive look at how a lost generation's moods, music, and moral vision continue to resonate today.

Dog Loves It, But Durability/Safety Major Issue
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Tree Branch
My 9 month old Frenchie loves it, but she got pretty sick this weekend and was vomiting all day...next day she finally threw up a big chunk of this toy...just beware if your dog is a heavy chewer, this may not be the right fit for you. Not the best durability...

She loves them, therefore I love them too
Size: 5.5 Inch, Color: Ring Toy
My furbaby LOVES these, especially the peanut butter flavored ones. I still regularly brush her teefers, but these do help with dental care.

Made mostly of POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC and should not be injested.
Size: 8 Inch - 2 Pack, Color: Tree Branch
BAD PRODUCT. DO NOT BUY THESE FOR YOUR DOG. They are made mostly of POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC. It even says on the package - "CAUTION: Product is not intended to be eaten or ingested. If you believe your pet has swallowed a piece, please take away and contact veterinarian if needed. Our dachshund went to town on one of these and had diarrhea for two days and cost us several hundred dollars in vet bills to do x-rays and medicine for the poor dog. What do you think a dog is going to do with a dog chew? Just find another product. This one isn't worth it.

It'll only last a week
Size: 5 Inch, Color: Classic Bone, Size: 5 Inch, Color: Classic Bone
We've only had it a few days and she's already half way through it. It won't last the week. She doesn't eat it, she spits out the pieces. If you buy it was a consumable, totally worth the money. I'll probably buy my power chewer a couple a month
