Book Overview
The first time on the open road with Dad's beat-up clunker and a brand-new driver's lecense. That first kiss. Practicing Steve Tyler moves in the garage. Lazy summer days with nothing to do but hang out with a group of friends and the radio. Classic Rock. In Classic Rock Stories, classic rockers reveal the sometimes painful, sometimes accidental, and often hilarious process of creating the songs that you can still sing aloud. In their own words, rockers like Pete Townshend, John Lennon, Stevie Nicks, Elton John, and Keith Richards tell about the drugs, the pain, the love gone bad, and the accidents that resulted in the hits.

I am a classic rock junkie, I love learning new things about the bands and the songs. I could read this book over and over again, its filled with tons of information that is incredibly interesting to someone like me! I only wish it were longer so that i would have more to read!

Someone had to do it.Tim Morse collects the stories (most of them between one and four paragraphs) behind the music. There are some careless typos, and the dates of those who relate the comments are missing, though much of the info is illuminating. Some of the more familiar stories should probably have been updated or removed outright (Is there anyone who DOESN'T know the origins of "Hey Jude" by now? If there is such a person, he/she wouldn't be reading this book, anyway). Music researchers will like this book because it's a great reference volume. Now if we can only get Morse to pen a companion piece that includes more black artists--"Classic R & B and Soul Stories," perhaps?
