4.0 out of 5 stars
An interesting look at the lives and comments of rock stars,
This review is from: Jabberrock: The Ultimate Book of Rock 'N' Roll Quotations (Paperback)
Admittedly, when I first obtained a copy of Jabberrock I wasn't too sure what to expect. A book being hailed as "the ultimate book of rock'n'roll quotations" didn't sound like the makings of great reading yet I soon found myself pleasantly suprised. It is basically a collection of quotes ranging from Elvis Presley to Marlilyn Manson, all categorised and listed in chapters ranging from "sex, love and marriage" and "rebels, politics, and punk" through to "the meaning of life" and "troubled genius". It is genuinely interesting to hear what many of these well known musical icons have to say on topics and subjects that affect them and for a non-fiction book with no story or plot, it certainly introduces us to an assortment of intriguing and strange characters. In all, I found the quotes to be quite interesting, many of them offering insight into the world of musical stardom. Obstfield and Fitzgerald are to be commended on the way that they have categorised the quotes, making for easy reading and a smooth transition through chapters. Whether you have an avid or passing interest in the music industry, this book makes for great reading and is interesting, amusing and suprisingly insightful. I highly recommend it.
