Customer Reviews

Great lyrical analysis

This book offers great insight and knowledge into many popular classic rock songs. Many of the life lessons and messages are obvious, such as the Beatles 'All You Need is Love' and Billy Joel's 'Just the Way You Are.' However, there are some songs analyzed by the authors whose meanings are not quite understood by the songs titles' and requires a deeper, more focsued listening. I love how the book makes mention of Bruce Springsteen's 'Badlands' in a positive manner...it truly is a song to get you moving and think positive. If you are a classic rock and roll fan, you will highly enjoy this book and the insight that it reveals about popular songs.
