Review: Superficial in many ways and apparently not written by someone familiar with the music

There are a few errors and the histories are superficial; however, if you want to know a little bit about these artists without listening to their music or reading more authoritative accounts this is a possible source.  Reviews of people's albums and concerts are quoted but there is a depressing absence of insight and context. Accounts are skewed seemingly by published material that was consulted rather randomly. For example, the Janis Joplin story refers several times to someone who apparently acted as an assistant and dresser for the singer, but the bits of information are fragmentary and their relevance is not clear.If you want to quote any facts in the book get outside confirmation of accuracy.
