Without sounding like an all-out fan (I most assuredly am!), Bowie, Bolan and The Brooklyn Boy mounts an incredible story beginning with Tony's days as a young boy in Brooklyn, to playing in the Catskills, to meeting the NYC music community, to his loves, to landing in London and meeting T. Rex, ...

Clouds Over Eden 3 reviews Richard Barone
Rhino / Wea, 1993
The best!
+ Heartfelt, superbly crafted songs + As good as it gets
A stunning tour de force of songwriting, arranging and performing by Richard Barone (formerly of the Bongos). "Clouds Over Eden" reminds me of John Lennon, and Barone is one of the few pop/rock figures whose work can stand up to such a comparison. These songs are personal, but not in the ...

Performance 64 reviews James Fox, Mick Jagger
Warner Home Video, 2007
Christmas present for my sister, Marilyn, as she longed for Performance to own
+ A Weird but Rewarding Trip Back in Time + CRITERION, PUT THIS MASTERPIECE IN YOUR COLLECTION!
I thought I was just giving this a rating, but my sister, who is sixteen years older than me, says that Performance with Mick Jagger is one of the best, most original movies of its times, early seventies. So, perhaps that would perk your interest. I know she is not wrong!
