Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation
Date undefinedI truly loved this book and intend to buy it for all of my old high school gal pals. The contribution these three (and many others mentioned in the book) made to music was and is enormous. We all struck out with stars in our eyes and Joni Michell's 'Banquet' is as germaine today as it was then. It was fascinating for a boomer like me to find out that Graham Nash was "Willy". The book forces you to drag out every single piece from that era and just revel in it. I agree with the other reviewer who found it addictive- it certainly hooked me right away. The holidays are coming and if you have a female friend in her 40's, 50's or 60's- THIS is the book to buy. Along with a stack of Cd's or a pre-loaded ipod if you have the $$. Best read I've had in awhile. Just waiting for a new Alice Hoffman, Anne lamott, Anne Beattie or Lorrie Moore!

Date undefinedMy genre. My favorite singers. When I wasn`t confused I found myself drifting off. A real snoozer...
