The only new year's resolution I made this year was to introduce nonfiction to my reading list for the year. It seems my preferred type of nonfiction is music related, but I can live with that.
This was an interesting book, chronicling as it did, the birth of rock music as we know it, and it's death. Of course, as long as there are mediums through which to play that good old rock and roll music, then I would argue that it will never die. But I digress.
Hepworth takes us through 50 years of rock, with the spotlight on one act from each year. Whilst I liked most of his choices, I confess to skipping two as I'm not a fan. (No, I'm not telling you who.)
Fun, factual and well worth a read.
