More Non-Fiction from Tim

Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, CSNY, and the Lost Story of 1970 by David Browne
If you were in college in 1970, then you know and you remember what that year was like, the headlines relentlessly pounding you with bad news, and more importantly, the music pouring out of the radio and off the vinyl albums on the stereo. David Browne’s book sharpens those memories so much that it’s almost painful to relive that time—the Beatles’ caustic break-up, Simon and Garfunkel’s relentless drifting apart, CSNY’s chaotic incarnation and tour, and James Taylor’s game-changing arrival. Dust off the LPs (or the mp3’s).
