Please buy this book!

+ Ultra-Glam
+ Aleister Crowley meets Goethe at the drag races

This is a splendid book and highly recommended. If only Mick Rock could have directed "Velvet Goldmine" -- it would not have been an hideous overwrought disaster. Those of us in the theatre and music industry who "lived" this particular period really appreciate the veracity of Mick Rock's work. ...

Rex, ...

Clouds Over Eden3 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 ...

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!
