Rock and Roll was built on its own crazy mythology, but Jim knows the true stories are likely to be even wilder than the myths。 I read this book with great pleasure and fascination and I have no doubt that you will too!"

It seems funny to write a review about your own forthcoming book。 But, here goes。 I thought it would be fun using my skills as a writer, music historian and ex-trial attorney, to once and for all, solve many of these rock and roll mysteries that have been around for awhile。 In many cases of pop music, original stories were hastily prepared or even fabricated by PR flacks or the media, and just as often these legends became frozen in time, mired in hasty or flawed conclusions。 Blogs, podcasts, an It seems funny to write a review about your own forthcoming book。 But, here goes。 I thought it would be fun using my skills as a writer, music historian and ex-trial attorney, to once and for all, solve many of these rock and roll mysteries that have been around for awhile。 In many cases of pop music, original stories were hastily prepared or even fabricated by PR flacks or the media, and just as often these legends became frozen in time, mired in hasty or flawed conclusions。 Blogs, podcasts, and social media conspiracies have further fueled and perpetuated inaccurate stories, in order to create more click-bait for online readers。Many mysteries still exist in rock and roll for the simple reason that many of the surviving participants and eyewitnesses have never spoken out or have never been asked the tough questions… until now。 Additionally, no one has taken the time to dig through the primary source documentary evidence left behind… until now。I approached every case in this book with an open mind。 I had no preconceptions or advance agenda whatsoever, and I let the facts speak for themselves。 Each chapter unfolds like a detective story。 I dug into the oral histories of eyewitnesses and carefully examined artifacts left behind in photographs, videos, interviews, press accounts, top secret government documents, sworn court testimony, music, liner notes, bootlegs, and more—all in an attempt to reconstruct a mosaic of history that reveals what really happened all those years ago。 If you want to know more about The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, The Kingsmen, Charley Patton, The Beach Boys and more, you will love this book!
