The Ultimate Hippie Generation Music Trivia Book is a collection of thousands of little known facts, snippets and tidbits about the songs, records and artists of the popular music industry of the 1950's to the 1980's. Not only is it an outstanding educational volume for young people who are interested in knowing about the roots and pioneers of rock 'n' roll, but it also offers a wonderfully nostalgic stroll down memory lane for the baby boom generation who were there when it was all happening. In this extensive volume you’ll learn such things as Rod Stewart being a grave digger before becoming a rock star; that Bill Haley of Bill Haley & The Comets was totally blind in his left eye and he wore his 'kiss curl' hairstyle to take attention away from his blind eye; that a teenage Paul McCartney quit The Beatles for a delivery service job until John Lennon persuaded him to return to the group; that Barry Manilow's real name is Barry Allan Pincus; and that Cher was Sonny Bono's second wife. Besides music trivia there are extensive lists of the biggest songs, albums and artists of the period according to authoritative American and European syndicated radio programmers, Rolling Stone Magazine, Billboard as well as MTV and VH1. Also included are photos with thought proving to totally brainless quotes from the stars that brought the musical background of times that were truly changing the world. So sit back and enjoy all the fun, music, madness and memories of an era unlike any other. No matter how you slice it, everything that has followed in the world of popular music is indebted to those who made it happen from the first. Whether you were there when it was happening or only heard about its history, if you love the music that came to be known as rock ‘n’ roll and crave a giant-size serving of little known facts about its pioneers, then The Ultimate Hippie Generation Music Trivia Book is definitely for you!
