Frequent MC contributor Harvey Kubernik is a well-respected music historian across the genres, a scholar with a firm grasp for what makes these characters, the work of whom we adore so passionately, so utterly fascinating as people. This book, which covers screen appearances from said icons, is well-researched and lovingly told, and it never feels academic or, worse, hyperbolic. The likes of Johnny Cash, Tina Turner, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, and Elvis Presley are covered, and there’s a sweet foreword by Andrew Loog Oldham. Try not to learn something.
