Infos

An "e;engaging"e; compendium of the stories behind the songs-in the words of the musicians who made them, from Stevie Nicks to Alice Cooper (School Library Journal). The first time on the open road with Dad's beat-up clunker and a brand-new driver's license. 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 this book, classic rockers reveal the sometimes painful, sometimes unpredictable, and often hilarious process of creating the songs that you can still sing along with. In their own words, rockers from Pete Townshend to John Lennon, to Keith Richards tell about the drugs, the pain, the love gone bad, and the lucky accidents that resulted in the hits. "e;Describes the rock scene of the '60s and '70s [and] reveals insights about favorite songs and the artists who recorded them . . . Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Jackson Browne, and Alice Cooper tell how they felt about their songs and what they were trying to say . . . A chapter titled 'Jurassic Park' gives updates on the rockers. A great choice for reluctant or musically inclined readers."e; School Library Journal
