"If you love any of these musicians, don't read this book! None of these musicians come out looking like decent people. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the music instead."
"I can't explain why I'm always drawn to this era of music, and am always reading about it. I think it's neat to learn the stories behind the songs. There was lots of boring stuff in there also."
"This book started me on a quest to read as many books as I could find on the singer/songwriters of the 60's and 70's. The book cronicles a time when the musical icons of this era were living in Laurel canyon in LA. They were hanging out together, dating each other and writing songs about it all. They spent their nights playing and listening to each other at the Troubadour. I loved the book and I was sorry when it ended. After you read the book, you should go to a web-site called "thebrombies.com". Go to Jo Ellen's room and read her short story "The Troubadour". She was a musician who hung out with all these same people at the club but didn't go on to fame and fortune. It ties in perfectly with the book."
