I would strongly recommend "Diary of a Rock and Roll
Star" by Ian Hunter....the best book about rock I have
ever read....a great primer on what it takes to make
it in the music biz...it's hard work! It's a first
person account of a Mott the Hoople tour just as Mott
was becoming known in the USA.
Have them read that, then listen to the "All the Young
Dudes" and "Mott" albums....

Hello everyone,
I am teaching a class on popular music and am looking
for recommendations
on books, CDs that I should have the class listen to,
and any great websites on bands, musicians, music that
I can have the
students take a look at. It is my hope that the class
will
help the students understand the recording industry
and the recent changes
in it as well as introduce students to a lot of great
music that flies under their radar.
I am thinking of using selections from Slichter's So
You Wanna be a Rock
and Roll Star and was wondering what else people
would recommend. I also have misplaced the title of
the Big Star book,
can someone remind me?
Please feel free to email me off list.
Thanks much! -Art
