Rock ’n’ roll music’s in the air with a whiff of nostalgia.
Take a trip down memory lane with the tunes you remember and the groups that produced albums full of music in between bouts of live in concert, stadium-filled shows and lives lived large. Hey, miniskirts, flower power and tie dye are back in style or not. On second thought, maybe it’s better just to read these recently published books, listen to the newly remastered CDs or watch the many “hell freezes over” reunion concerts on DVDs. They’re all available at the library.
“Hotel California: The True-Life Adventures of Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Mitchell, Taylor, Browne, Ronstadt, Geffen, the Eagles, and Their Many Friends” by Barney Hoskyns: America went “California dreaming,” while the newly imagined country rock music scene explored the natural life “back to the garden.” Read about the exploits of the “new kids in town,” with “a little help from our friends,” in the chronicles about the famous and infamous in Los Angeles.
