Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I came across this book in the bookstore of the Student Union at my university, and I'm so glad I did. I have devoted a lot of time to the study of the music of the '60s, and I've learned a lot of facts of the times. However, I've always been lacking in the etiquette of that decade (i was born in 1980 about 7 months before Lennon was assassinated). Well, I have to say that this book has changed some of that. It gives such a rich feeling of what it was like to be a teenager in the 1960s in middle class white America. But the best factor about this book is that it lacks nostalgia--it isn't a happy-dappy weren't-the-old-days-grand portrait. What you get is a *feeling* of what it was like (as well as a lot of good and original analysis of the music of the Beatles, Dylan, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Band, and more). Now when I hear Dylan wailing, "How does it feeeel?" I can give a much better answer than I ever could have before reading this book.
