This is an OK book for someone who is only mildly interested in the Rock Era. The trivia included is very pedestrian though there are some interesting pieces of information. You won't find any "gotcha" new trivia in this book if you are a Rock n Roll aficionado. I gave it as a gift and the person didn't complain so it must have been OK.

My dad was born in the 60’s and lived the rock n roll life. He loves it

If you are rather young, or never really delved much into the music you listened to, you will probably learn quite a bit. However, if you are a real music geek, disc jockey, or just plain curious, and nosey about your favorite music, and bands...you probably already know most of what's here. None the less, it's a fun, enjoyable read, and a nice reminder of times, and music past.

Purchased this for my in-laws to enjoy on their flight back home! They loved it! Said it had unique facts, some they had never heard before!

given as gift to my son who loves it.He is in the music business so was very interested in reading it

Everything you wanted to know but didn’t know who to ask.
