Named one of the Best Rock Books of the Year" by Rolling Stone Kirkus Reviews Through the lens of four fabulously successful musical acts, a Rolling Stone contributing editor looks at the moment 1960s idealism began surrendering to the buzz-kill comedown of the decade ahead…A vivid freeze-frame of Hall of Fame musicians, some of whom would go on to make fine records, none ever again as central to the culture."

- 7***5 (283)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaIt arrived quickly. It was shipped in a plastic bag with no padding. The bag was torn and allowed moisture to get inside the packaging. It was also quite misshapen since the mailman curved it up to leave in our mailbox. I can’t tell if there is new damage or not so I am a bit disappointed. I know there was some damage in the picture so I was expecting that but still thought it would have been packaged better for shipping.
