"What a trip back in time to that astonishing period of Folk music and the beginning of the protest movement. These were my idols. I can still sing every song on Joan's early albums by heart."
"more than a little gossipy and trashy, but nonetheless a fascinating glimpse into a time when I think things really *were* simpler. Such fun to read! Great stories about icons of a generation, which points out that even icons are human..."
"I read this because of the Joan Baez connection to Bob Dylan. It was very interesting in and of itself. Tidbits of Bob were interspersed and added my knowledge of Bob. Richard Farina's life seems a bit sad."
"I'd read anything about Bob Dylan in the early 60's. I didn't know anything about Richard Farina before reading this book. It's interesting that Pynchon gave interviews for the book. Maybe I'll have to try to read Pynchon again."
