I've only read one other of the author James Hoag's tributes to Rock and Roll Legends. That was on John Lennon. What stands out to me in both books is the author's genuine fondness for the musicians he writes about and his pride at having been allowed to live in the same time frame as these greats. He seems to breath in their very essence and lives their lives along with the reader. His commentaries are always gentle and he stands genuinely as a non-critical observer, almost as a beloved family member, taking personal pride in their accomplishments. He makes a lot of numbers in the pop charts, dates and data come alive with his love. I hopped over to his website (listed in his book) to see what it was about and found the same warmth, great videos... check it out. And if you love the Beatles and especially Ringo, pick up this book. I smiled throughout.
