5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Biography!, 26 Sep 2006
I've been a Byrds fan since the 60s, but nothing prepared me for a book as brilliant as this! It must be the ultimate biography in popular music, stretching to over 700 pages with a page-turning account of one of the greatest stories in rock history. Rogan has interviewed everyone, and not just in the last few years. Many of his interviews are 30+ years old and he keeps going back over the years to reacquaint himself with the participants and add yet more drama. This is what really gives the book its authority. Some of the Byrds no doubt changed their views on each other over the years as Rogan clearly reveals. Sometimes they're bitter and aggressive, sometimes forgiving and understanding just like people in real life! Rogan gets them to talk about everything, no matter how painful. The writing is excellent too, highly authoritive but still readable. Although he's clearly obsessed with getting the truth of the story, it's the music that drives his passion. There's loads of stuff on every album, every song - enough to have you rushing back to the original records with a new understanding. Rightly acclaimed as one of the great rock reads, this is a story that never seems to age but becomes more fascinating and revealing with each passing decade. In a word: superb.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN EPIC OF BIBLICAL PROPORTION !!!!, 16 Jul 2002
By Stephen J. Arti (Redlands, California United States) - See all my reviews
This is a fantastic story about how America's premiere folk-rock band was started.......David Crosby, Roger McGuinn and the rest of the band along with photographers, groupies, tour promoters etc.,take you on a fantastic psychedelic time-warp......Learn how Mr. Tambourine Man was given to The Byrds by Bob Dylan along with his blessing to record more of his material.....Learn about the many personnel changes within the group that eventually defined the "California-Rock" sound championed by The Eagles
If you love Rock Music, You HAVE to own this book !!!.....Oh yes.....One other thing......It's ONLY available from Amazon ( I know...I checked) so quit wasting time and order your copy today !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, 12 Jan 2007

I'm a great fan of Sixties music, especially the Beatles. The Byrds were great friends of the Fabs and their story and music is worth telling. Rogan's book is an epic, over 700 pages but it never suffers from repetition or rambling. The writing is fluid and skilful and the story is like a biblical epic full of triumphs, conflicts, deaths and tragedy... and fantastic music. I learned so much about the Byrds and was so impressed that I read the book again! Brilliant stuff.
