Download and read online ebook Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life write by Steve Almond. This book was released on 2010-04-13. Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Drooling fanatic, n. 1. One who drools in the presence of beloved rock stars. 2. Any of a genus of rock-and-roll wannabes/geeks who walk around with songs constantly ringing in their ears, own more than 3,000 albums, and fall in love with at least one record per week. With a life that’s spanned the phonographic era and the digital age, Steve Almond lives to Rawk. Like you, he’s secretly longed to live the life of a rock star, complete with insane talent, famous friends, and hotel rooms to be trashed. Also like you, he’s content (sort of) to live the life of a rabid fan, one who has converted his unrequited desires into a (sort of) noble obsession. Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life traces Almond’s passion from his earliest (and most wretched) rock criticism to his eventual discovery of a music-crazed soul mate and their subsequent production of two little superfans. Along the way, Almond reflects on the delusional power of songs, the awkward mating habits of drooling fanatics, and why Depression Songs actually make us feel so much better. The book also includes: • sometimes drunken interviews with America’s finest songwriters • a recap of the author’s terrifying visit to Graceland while stoned • a vigorous and credibility-shattering endorsement of Styx’s Paradise Theater • recommendations you will often choose to ignore • a reluctant exegesis of the Toto song “Africa” • obnoxious lists sure to piss off rock critics But wait, there’s more. Readers will also be able to listen to a special free mix designed by the author, available online at www.stevenalmond.com, for the express purpose of eliciting your drool. For those about to rock—we salute you!

Download and read online ebook Life: Rock & Roll At 50 write by Editors of Life. This book was released on 2002-04-01. Life: Rock & Roll At 50 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Here are 50 years of Rock Roll, from Chuck Berry to the Beatles to Beck, with an introduction by Dick Clark. On March 21, 1952, rock roll was forged in fire as Alan Freeds Moondog Coronation Ball in Cleveland ended up in a riot when frenzied fans stormed the arena. There was a new sound and it caused an entirely new reaction: loud, passionate, no-holds-barred, Katie-bar-the-door.This was rock roll, and even as things were getting out of hand in Cleveland, a producer named Sam Phillips was debuting his Sun record label in Memphis, the future launching pad for Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and, of course, the King, Elvis Presley. In the 1960s came the Beatles. Bob Dylan counseled Dont Look Back, and rock never did, as the music defined the times: the Whos My Generation, the Rolling Stones Street Fighting Man, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Youngs Woodstock.Today, rock lives on, and not just in reunions of KISS and Yes, nor in age-defying gigs by Aerosmith. It has seeped into our culture and into the new music. It changed America then, and, at 50, it continues to do so.
