Rock Talk Studio

What does every rock n roll fan want for the holidays?
Easy- rock n roll books!!

That’s exactly why I made a Holliday Shopping Guide loaded with the ones worth giving (or keeping for yourself)

Comment rock ‘n’ roll and I’ll send it on over to you🤘

Would you consider Ozzy’s 2nd memoir “Last Rites” a key piece of rock n roll history?
It is a personal document of the last six years of his life. Have you read it?

For those of you who have read the new incredible Cameron Crowe memoir “The Uncool” which encounter did you enjoy the best? 
The one with-
Bowie?
Gregg Allman?
Dickey Betts?
Jimmy Page?
Jim Croce?
Glenn Fry?
Ronnie Van Zant?

Crazy how three standout projects landed right before we lost three rock ’n’ roll legends this year. All are absolutely worth checking out.

-Sly Lives! Aka: The Burden of Black Genius

-Last Rites: Ozzy’s second memoir

Reading anything good lately?

I’m sorry, I just can’t get over the fact that Cameron Crowe was interviewing The Allman Brothers and Led Zeppelin when he was 15.

Reading Crowe’s memoir “The Uncool”

Joni is 82 today! A true pioneer.
Great to see her in better health, out and about, and even performing again.

If you looking for a good read on Joni, last year a really interesting take on her career came out by the great writer Ann Powers. It’s called “Traveling on the Path with Joni Mitchell”

It’s finally streaming!!-the doc people have been asking me about for close to two years!

Are you an audiobook type of person or do you prefer to read the book?

I agree. Ben had a sweet voice. Ric had a more quirky delivery

I agree -I think Ben had the better voice, but combined with Ric’s it made that awesome Cars sound
