Welcome to Litsy!

This book has no notes, so it‘s impossible to check his references in the alleged bibliography and no way to tell which quotes came from which of the new interviews the author claims to have conducted. Therefore it‘s impossible to know whether one has learned anything new or correct or interesting. Deeply disappointing. One quarter of a star for the photos.

Fascinating, heartbreaking, upsetting read. I‘m really digging pop music histories lately. This is meticulously researched telling of the Rolling Stones‘s disastrous rock festival at Altamont where four people died, including one murder near the stage during the show. Must-read for rock fans and those interested in the 1960s music scene.

Waiting for my husband to have some minor outpatient surgery, so taking the opportunity to try and finish this in eBook form.

Nothing says holiday cheer like a healthy dose of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll! Altamont marked the end of the 60s in more ways than one. More than just a story of a rock concert, Joel Slevin delves into the ways our entertainment culture mirrors...and sometimes tells the future of our social reality. #altamont #joelslevin #2016giftguide

This was a detailed and well researched book about a true disaster in rock and roll culture. Altamont was a train wreck with deadly consequences, and this book tells all angles and sides. An upsetting but interesting read!

Well there is a title to be proud of.

He gave what to his horse? I had to read this twice to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

Also finished this. Once I stopped trying to keep all the players straight, this turned out to be a riveting look at the 1969 free concert at the Altamont Speedway.

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and can't wait to read it but I need to finish some of my other in-progress books first.

This is really good so far but for some reason I'm having a hard time keeping track of people. A book about a rock concert should not be causing me this much brain strain😜

I'm super excited about my library book haul. So that big TBR stack I photographed yesterday may have to wait😜
