Product Information
January 1970: the Beatles are putting the finishing touches on Let It Be; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are wrapping up Dj Vu; Simon and Garfunkel are releasing Bridge Over Troubled Water; James Taylor is an unknown singer-songwriter working on Sweet Baby James. Fire and Rain tells the stories of the music, tours, lives, tensions, varying degrees of excess, and constantly intertwining personal ties between these extraordinary artists. Acclaimed journalist David Browne sets these stories against an increasingly chaotic backdrop of events that sent the world spinning: the Weather Undergroundrelated explosion of a Greenwich Village brownstone in March, Apollo 13 in April, Kent State in May, the Selective Service changes that diffused the anti-war movement in July, and more. Featuring candid interviews with more than 100 luminaries, Brownes vivid narrative tells the incredible story of how--over the course of twelve turbulent months--the 60s effectively ended, and the 70s began.Product Identifiers
