From one of the founders of rock criticism, an electrifying and moving memoir of rock, art, politics and revolution in 60s America, offering startling portraits of Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Wilson, Andy Warhol, Norman Mailer, Timothy Leary and many more.
In 1961, Richard Goldstein saw Bob Dylan perform for the first time at Carnegie Hall. Rock music was in its infancy, and revolution was in the air. Criticism of the genre didn't yet exist but, as it began to change music and politics forever, the serious discussion of rock became a thriving institution. Aged just twenty two in 1966, and the first rock critic in New York, Goldstein became a pivotal figure in the industry. Forging close relationships with huge names - Jim Morrison, Brian Wilson and Janis Joplin to name just three - his life became a whirlwind of politics, sex and rock and roll. Another Little Piece of My Heart is an unparalleled document of American rock and revolution.
