Naturally I did my everlovin' best to sidestep all that pretentious twaddle in the text...

Do you follow American Idol? How about the background of the judges and celebrity mentors? Read "Rolling Stone Images". It is timely.
I found this old book of photos on the shelf at the Silver Bay, MN Public Library. I volunteer there a couple of hours a week. One task is to scan the bar code for each, write on the inside title page how many times the book has been checked out, and how recently. The librarians decide what stays on the shelf and what goes to the annual book sale or recycling. Browse your own music section at the library. I also found some of the same song books referenced and used by the current Idol contestants.
I brought it home, and it became a coffee table book for a week. It is heavy and large format. Browse the photos from the beginning, and there is not a hint of who the featured celebrity is, other than your own memory. There are plenty of stories interspersed. The back of the book has thumbnail photos of the same, with the details about the celebrity, the occasion, and the photographer. Some of the amateur photographers caught once in a lifetime shots as good as the pros who shot hundreds.

Photos of famous people taken by some well respected photographers. You'll love the photos of your rock heroes because of who they are...not because they are in this book. The only narrative thread...these people are famous, so look at them.

Rocker jazzer musicians photographs. Crazy funny silly life behind rock stage.
