"Narrated in the present tense and with occasionally vivid language.... every rock cliché is described... but, refreshingly, little is romanticized." - PW.
"This terrific book should be in demand ...[for those interested in] rock 'n roll history, it is essential." - Library Journal.
"Summers is refreshingly endearing, with a self-deprecating wit, brisk pacing and elegant turns of phrase. A pleasant journey through some of pop music's more interesting times." - Kirkus.
