Title: Waste of Paper & Cloth
Product review: This book doesn't deserve to clutter my coffee table or be given to a friend, let alone soak the oil dripping from my car. An insult to anyone who gives a true hoot about the history of recorded music, there is absolutely nothing new to learn or view; the coverage is banal at best. Elvis & Lennon, Madonna & The Supremes; read it all too often before. Britney, N*Sync & American Idol [what a sick joke]; give me a break. Midler's only mention is for a forgettable film instead of top ten hits or sell out concerts. Carly is almost as overlooked. Minnelli gets more pages and yet her mother is more imperative to contemporary Pop/Rock. Look for anything by Rolling Stone or Annie Leibovitz, Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame or Seattle's EMP, but leave this behind. Mr Black & cohorts should be ashamed. I only rated one star because this system wouldn't allow ZERO!
