Opis

From the offices of Rock's Backpages and edited by famed rock writer, critic and author Barney Hoskyns, The Sound and the Fury: 40 Years of Classic Rock presents the most iconic pieces of rock music writing from the past half century. Coming at rock and roll from a different angle - with various takes on its love, its loathing and its access and excess, pieces include Al Aroniwitz documenting the Beatles' arrival in America; Nick Hornby reappraising pop deities Abba; and Will Self taking on Morrissey, just a few of the many stories selected from the rich RBP online library.
