Summary: Not That Riotous A Romp After All
Comment: I was dissapointed in this book, written by the keyboard player for one of my favorite bands, the Faces. Like virtually every other book I've ever read by or about a rocker (small 'r', not Rocker, with a big "r', which a good Mod would still take as an insult, I'm sure), ALL THE RAGE is little more than a litany of boozy gigs, plane trips, dull hangovers, and bad business deals.

Summary: A Look BEHIND the SCENES of Brit POP from 1960's ON!
Comment: All The Rage was GREAT FUN!!! A story of one the ORIGINAL MODS! A member of the seminal Mod band The Small Faces ( as well as The Faces: the band's sound ripped off by the Black Crowes) "Mac " McLagan is a funny and poignant writer. Why read All The Rage? What relevance and interest does this autobiography hold? Well, MOD is the ONLY authentic, non "corporate", GRASS roots YOUTH culture dynamic going today. The book chronicles the life of one of its EARLIEST participants and shows how Mod , with its roots heavily rooted in US Blues and Soul morphed into Heavy Rock ( such as Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie and McLagan's Faces) while other elements branched into Disco /funk of Rod Stewarts ( Do You Think I'm Sexy? era) and the murky combo of BOTH genres in the "Some Girls" heyday of The Rolling Stones. "Mac " was there for ALL of it and shares the details of what went on BEHIND the SCENES. Any student of youth culture and pop music will find the book invaluable as well as a LOT OF FUN!The stories of musical triumphs and debacles are sad, poignant and most of all well written.
