4.0 out of 5 stars BLACK (listed journalist) CROWS, October 21, 2004

By	J. J Spina (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Interesting that no one has reviewed this book considering it is one of the most intimate/intimidating chronicles of rock music and culture in a time when Rock SHOCKED rather than Schlocked. Aronowitz writes in a style that often recons the best stream-of-(barely)-conscious meanderings of the stooges, the three stooges, bobbie dylan,dylan thomas and a drug-addled Thomas the Train. He always stayed wide eyed and optimistic that rock music could change the world. He was wrong. The world changed rock music but I, for one, will forever cherish the universe Aronowitz inhabited. I'll be putting this up on the shelf right next to Richard Meltzer's "Aesthetics of Rock" and my dog-eared issues of early Crawdaddy and Creem. Hopefully someday my son Gram (as in Parsons) will read these books and mags and realize there was a time when time was on our side.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling, must-have book, July 27, 2005

Al Aronowitz's Bob Dylan and The Beatles is a compelling, insightful read by one of music journalism's best, most informed writers. Aronowitz takes us inside the music, minds and era that spawned Dylan, the Beatles and others. A must-have book for fans and industry insiders alike.
