Summary: Life In The 70's
Comment: Rolling Stone magazine was founded in 1967 and born of the ideas of the counterculture. But the magazine hit its stride and became cultural significant in the 70's. This book is a great review of the decade detailing everything from Nixon to Springsteen to disco to All in The Family to the emergence of porn and casual sex. Writers from Rolling Stone like Hunter S. Thompson detailing how gonzo journalism was conceived (and in his words, never truly achieved), founder and editor Jann Wenner on the man behind the infamous Pentagon Papers and others are excellent, but it is the contributions for others not necessarily associated with the magazine that hit the mark. The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde was a student at Kent State and gives a first person of what happened when the National Guardsmen killed four students. Tom Wolfe expouses on radical chic and the stories about the emergence of Soul Train, the deaths at a Who concert in Cincinnati, the Saturday Night Fever and disco explosion, Bruce Springsteen and Al Trautwig's essay on Julius "Dr. J' Erving are all superb. The book's left-hand margin contains a running timeline that note important and relevant events of the decade in chronological order. This book is an immensely satisfying, enjoyable and informative read.
