SVZ writes in a conversational and very educational tone about this life， most of it in music with a short diversion to acting （Sopranos）。 Clearly a master musicologist， he introduced many obscure artists and music personnel who have never received their due respect。 This is a must-read for those who follow music of ALL genres， as it’s written concisely and is also entertaining。

Unrequited Infatuations begins with the main character hiding under a blanket in a car driving to an unknown destination in a country rife with hatred and division。 This could easily take place in 2021， but this particular event occurred in the ‘80s and the main character is probably one of the most recognizable consiglieres on the planet - the incomparable Stevie Van Zandt。 Unrequited Infatuations is part music history， part “Stuff You Missed In History Class”， and so much more。 Without giving Unrequited Infatuations begins with the main character hiding under a blanket in a car driving to an unknown destination in a country rife with hatred and division。 This could easily take place in 2021， but this particular event occurred in the ‘80s and the main character is probably one of the most recognizable consiglieres on the planet - the incomparable Stevie Van Zandt。 Unrequited Infatuations is part music history， part “Stuff You Missed In History Class”， and so much more。 Without giving too many spoilers， I will say that this book will make you laugh， cry， scream， scratch your head， and， most importantly， think。 Everyone from the music and television connoisseur to the political and cultural guru can learn something from his story。 Unrequited Infatuations won my heart and it will win yours too。 Bravo！Thanks to #NetGalley and #HatchetteBooks for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this gem！ 。。。more
