Being John Lennon

Descripción

Review “A dramatic, insightful biography of John Lennon. Connolly’s history is a colorful and balanced portrait of an immensely creative artist.” - Publishers Weekly“If you suspect that the pressures and pitfalls of rock stardom might not be worth all the wealth and adulation and that your present life suits you just fine, then Being Elvis is the book for you. After reading Mr. Connolly’s book, I’m more inclined to see Elvis as an American Keats.” - Wall Street Journal [praise for "Being Elvis"]“Rock journalist Ray Connolly’s retelling of the Elvis mythology is largely sympathetic and exceptionally well-written. But like every other aspect of his extraordinary career, this was a trail Elvis blazed alone.” - USA Today [praise for "Being Elvis"] Read more About the Author Ray Connolly has published a number of books, including Being Elvis (Liveright).
