(I was in high school when they came to the US so very aware of their popularity and output at that time.) I might enjoy this type of book, but just don't care to fit it into my reading. If I read more books in a year, like you and many other bloggers... I would probably expand my repertoire.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-13020038608352528292015-08-27T05:52:08.780-07:002015-08-27T05:52:08.780-07:00I might be tempted if it included an 80s update.

I was never a particular fan of theirs; even so, they were a dominant part of the zeitgeist, with the result that I can still happily sing along to the Pepper album. The second of their two "Best of" compilations (I think it's the blue one) contains just about all their best stuff, and is, I'd say, a genuinely impressive collection.<br /><br />Sounds like an interesting book!noirencyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843963811822980754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-52894545814779677752015-08-23T04:01:52.098-07:002015-08-23T04:01:52.098-07:00Col, I'm not much of a Beatles fan though I ha...Col, I'm not much of a Beatles fan though I have listened to some of their numbers. Lennon's "Imagine" remains a favourite. I don't know anything about their public or private lives and this was an interesting glimpse into what can happen backstage.Prashant C.
