Forgot to post this yesterday 🤦🏻♀️ My favorite read of April. This was full of fascinating history of not only the band but the larger context of the music industry in Britain and America as well as the social-political conditions that put a lot of that history into context. A slow read but HIGHLY enjoyable!
so-soJohn Lennon believes in the power of his subconscious mind, which seems to receive both present, passing flashes of inspiration, and radiating echoes of the past. That antenna-like connection leads to brilliant music; at other times, it leads to noise. In the novel, Lennon seeks the peace of a private island, where he has the space to Scream out trauma and reset. Unfortunately, for artists like Lennon, there is never quiet. He is always tuned in.
pickRecently re-obsessed with The Beatles after having finally watched the Get Back documentary. Which is amazing. So I've been collecting all the random Bestles related books I can find and was so beyond excited to find this adorable Little Golden Book. So cute!!
pickWe saw this at the bookstore a few weeks ago and Jace wouldn‘t stop talking about so I finally had to order it from Amazon. At least he has good taste! A nice mini Beatles biography and a great way to introduce them to children. 5⭐️ #Jace #Beatles #biography #littlegoldenbook
Is it cheating to use the same book for two months? 😂
This book is packed with information and I‘m taking my time and savoring it, trying to absorb the cultural moment that Gould is describing. It requires my full attention (meaning I‘m not reading it in quick hits throughout the week) as it combines history, sociology, psychology, musicology, biography, and cultural analysis. Incredibly written and, at times, hilarious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
