ROLLING STONE 50 YEARS

This has to be the DEFNITIVE Book for Music Lovers- hope they come out with a look at music in the 2020s!! The pictures are incredible

This large, coffee table style hardcover book sums up some of the best articles and most iconic photos in the popular magazine. Founder Jann Wenner provides an informative introduction and the book highlights the journey music, politics, and culture in general have taken in each of the decades from the 60s to our current 10s. I was particularly impressed with a John Lennon interview from the early 70s. He was very candid and offered his views with a no bullshit filter. The 1976 photo spread of The Family, by Richard Avedon, was also very evocative. Lengthy excerpts of articles and interviews with people's reflections are very interesting to read. The cover jacket is lush and also has a black Rolling Stones banner. This book pretty much sums up the last half of the 20th Century & the first 15 years of our current millennium.

La revista Rolling Stone fue la punta de lanza en el desarrollo del periodismo musical, antes que ella, no había nada parecido, después han surgido miles por todo el mundo. A través de periodismo musical de investigación, dio cuenta de todo lo que sucedía alrededor: politica, cine, moda, acontecimientos sociales. Un registro indispensable con maravillosas fotografías para acercarnos a la historia de la cultura pop en el último medio siglo.

A big and bulky Photohistory of ROLLING STONE worth the price. I missed Beyonce and, most of all, Kent State May 1970, a true political landmark for America.
