Love: Behind the Scenes: On the Pegasus Carousel with the Legendary Rock Group Love
by Michael Stuart-Ware
Category: Music

Love was one of the legendary bands of the late '60s U.S. West Coast scene, and their masterpiece 'Forever Changes' still regularly appears in critics' polls of the greatest albums ever recorded. Yet the band never truly achieved its potential...and so, were never able to break through to the L.A. premier league; the one inhabited by groups like The Byrds, and The Doors. Now, Michael Stuart-Ware, drummer on LOVE's 'Da Capo' and 'Forever Changes', shares his inside perspective on the band's recording and performing career, and tells how money-wrangles, drugs and egos thwarted the success of one of the great rock ensembles of the burgeoning psychedelic era. The author also vividly portrays LOVE's life away from the stage and the recording studio - hanging out in Laurel Canyon, smoking weed and shooting the breeze with his fellow band members, back in the summer of love.
