Shots from the Hip by Charles Shaar Murray
A collection from one of pop music's writers, which forms a compendium of frontline despatches. The book is divided into several sections - the early 1970s (the hippy hangover and the glamorous tendency), the middle 1970s (the end of civilisation as we know it) and the late 1970s onwards (after the end). Pieces include the world's rudest interview with Paul McCartney, proto punk and Manhattan wierdos (ie the Ramones), punk rock, soul power, the Rolling Stones, Murray's memorial of Jimi Hendrix and the death of Presley.
Murray, Charles Shaar: - Charles Shaar Murray's book Crosstown Traffic: Jimi Hendrix and the Postwar Rock 'n' Roll Revolution was called by Entertainment Weekly the best book on Hendrix, and rode their A-list for over two months before winning the prestigious Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award. He lives in England.
