In fact, I could probably say music bios in general and still be right about that. (Remember: my opinion completely outranks yours. But I'm only here to help.) It's always been a bit annoying to contemplate the way Serious Music Fans dismissed The Turtles as just another fluffy pop group, until the day that Kaylan and Volman (and Jim Pons) became fixtures in Frank Zappa's band. But the '70s were way more polarised than younger folks think they were mainly due to our own revisionism. Oh, yes, I always loved The Dave Clark Five, The Monkees and The Turtles. The hell you did, old man. You re lying through your replacement teeth. You were one of the King Crimson fans who were sneering at me (or worse!) for still loving those bands in 1974. Nowadays, of course, people have come around. Sage music journalists (I know they're still out there one of them co-wrote this book) speak reverently of pop music purveyors like The Turtles with the same worshipping tone they use for the '67 Kinks and Zombies. As well they should. And Kaylan's book is right on time. No need to rehash his CV here you're reading Shindig! after all. Suffice to say Howard remembers everything, is hiding nothing, and unlike most oldies artists still has one ear to the ground. He tells his tale in his own voice, and it stays riveting from start to finish. He s honest about The Drug Years, without falling into the predictable David Crosby/Jimmy Greenspoon grey narrative that reads like Matthew 1 and Luke 3: ''Monday woke up, freebased. Tuesday woke up, freebased. Wednesday didn t wakeup. Thursday...'' No, it's a great book, and interesting all the way through. Kaylan knows everybody, remember, and he names names. Better even, he's still out there pounding the road into submission a hundred or so nights every year. This is a 262-page book. It could have been 500 and I still would have been sorry when it was over. With any luck, he's left something for Volman to write about. I'm sitting by the phone, Mark! --Shindig! Magazine (UK) One of the most blunt, non-filtered, and colorful characters still working in the music industry today, Howard Kaylan holds nothing back in his autobiography….Kaylan and fellow Turtle Mark Volman have made no bones about their issues with shady managers and rights to their material. So although Kaylan's antics and his career are enough meat for an exciting chronicle, the lessons about navigating murky waters and finding a good team are essential for indie musicians. And considering that the Turtles are one of the only '60s bands to still retain the rights to their work, that's saying quite a bit. --Sonic Bids About the Author Howard Kaylan (Seattle, WA) is the lead vocalist of '60s rock legends the Turtles, whose Top 10 hits include “Happy Together ” “Elenore ” “She'd Rather Be with Me ” and “You Showed Me.” He sang with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention and was half of the popular duo Flo and Eddie. Kaylan's voice can also be heard on classic recordings by Bruce Springsteen, Alice Cooper, T. Rex, and many others., Jeff Tamarkin (Hoboken, NJ) has been a prolific music journalist for more than 35 years. He has served as the editor of Goldmine, Relix, and CMJ and has contributed to dozens of publications and websites, including MOJO, Playbill, JazzTimes, Creem, Billboard, and the All Music Guide. Tamarkin is the author of the biography Got a Revolution! The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane. *546 #$aEngelsk tekst *599 $a250 kr *60014$aZappa, Frank$d1940-1993$_14974800 *61024$aFlo & Eddie$_18724100 *61024$aTurtles$_19015500 *650 4$aRockmusikere$_15784100 *650 4$aSelvbiografier$_10033600 *7001#$aTamarkin, Jeff$emedforfatter$4aut$_16133100 ^
