review 1: I enjoyed this book for the stories. Mr. Goldberg certainly seemed to get some lucky breaks considering the amazing musicians that he worked with. Though at times the mumbo jumbo of the Music Industry just solidified my distaste for said industry, it did explain it in a way that you could understand how many artists were really ripped off in the past. For that, at least he was honest about, though at times he seemed to be defending it.All in all a nice read for certain stories about the artists that you only get from someone that was there.
review 2: There's a lot of names dropped - too many for the casual reader. Most of us won't care who started what avant garde pop culture magazine in the late 60s or the different heads of A&R at different labels. Howe... morever, there's lots of other interesting stuff to read. I particularly enjoyed reading about Goldberg's take on the music industry in general, and working working with Kurt Cobain in particular.I read this book while playing a weekend of classical orchestral music. I was playing Shostakovich and Sibelius while reading about Kiss and Led Zepplin. Interesting contrast! less
