Classic Rock Stories: The Stories Behind The Greatest Songs Of All Time
Author: Tim Morse |
More Info |
Classic rockers reveal the sometimes painful, sometimes accidental, and often hilarious process of creating the songs classic rock fans love. Includes, in their own words, Pete Townsend, Freddie Mercury, Stephen Tyler, John Fogarty, Keith Richards, and others. Bob Dylan wrote a 20-page story that he then turned into "Like a Rolling Stone"; George Harrison wrote "Here Comes the Sun" while walking around Eric Clapton's garden on a bright day. These tidbits are among the hundreds of anecdotes told by famous musicians--Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, and Grace Slick among them--about their hit songs and compiled in Classic Rock Stories. If you can hum the song, you can likely find its story in this book, which is quite broad in scope.
