Synopsis

From the Author
Opening up, reaching out, and aquiring yourself...
This book is my first, it made me realize how many stories and people there are to acknowledge especially those who influenced my life in their own unique way, and how little room to tell them all. What did come forth was a major thread of the adventure my life has been ... So far... --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT BIOGRAPHY! THANKS, RICHIE!, 13 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: They Can't Hide Us Anymore (Hardcover)
I bought this book last night and couldn't put it down. Richie's a natural-born storyteller, and his prose flows naturally and effortlessly and beautifully, like the waters of the Bad River in upper Wisconsin.

This is a great read. If you want to read about a real artist, read this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Listening to a friend, 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: They Can't Hide Us Anymore (Hardcover)
More like an easygoing conversation with an old friend than a traditional autobiography, "They Can't Hide Us Anymore" brings Richie Havens close to the reader. One can almost feel the deep resonating timbre that suffuses his music as Havens shares vivid memories of his adolescence in a boisterous but bucolic Brooklyn before ethnicity mattered; early adulthood in the Village when it was THE place to be and his globetrotting journey since those days.

Like his singing, some tales seem cyclic with hints of what is to come, only to be reprised on a later page. Others slowly reveal his many and varied interests beyond the stage - the visual arts, his profound belief in the power of children, and his commitment to safeguard this planet and its inhabitants. Havens' skill as a storyteller serves him well in this thoroughly enjoyable book. Whether a fan from years back or someone just discovering the wandering troubadour, this book will help you know and possibly even understand the man behind the music. Buy it, put on one of his CDs and read. It will be, as Havens is known to say, "Far out!"

5.0 out of 5 stars With a zest for life, Richie tells his story., 26 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: They Can't Hide Us Anymore (Hardcover)
You don't have to read this book to know the author; you only have to hear him perform. But to read his "work in progress" one can only further appreciate his love for people and music. Unlike many autobiographies that seem to be written to promote the author or to set the record straight, this one simply and sincerely reveals the heart and mind of the author as he explores his passion for music. With a childlike innocence, Richie finds goodness in all he touches and everyone he meets; he accepts any setbacks as a part of growth and education and without preaching reminds us how important it is to take time to appreciate our world and our neighbors. At times, it's not clear when a certain event is taking place and one might wish for even more details of Richie's experiences during the "Village Years", but the areas that deal in greater depth are those that are important to Richie and his life. Keep the words and music coming for another thirty years, Richie.
