The story of rock lives in Lynn Goldsmith's photographs. After coming of age in the Midwest in the tumultuous 1960s, she crashed the music scene in New York and emerged as one of its leading image-makers. She chronicled Bruce Springsteen's passage to glory, the Rolling Stone's legendary stadium tours, Michael Jackson's staggering ascent, U2's arrival in New York and the brooding force of Bob Marley. Culture heroes like Bob Dylan and Patti Smith became frequent subjects for her lens. In 'Rock and Roll Stories', she shares the best of this work. Her commentary takes the reader into the studio, the tour bus, the concert hall and the streets where the pictures we made, offering revealing perspectives on her subjects and herself. Furthermore Goldsmith has been videotaping musicians talking about the pictures.… (more)

A gorgeous book with some incredible--and incredibly familiar--pictures of rock and pop stars. Goldsmith also provides some insights into the making of those pics, but frustratingly, not all.

How in the hell did Sting end up in that black curly wig?

Anyway, got this on sale, totally worth the price of admission. ( )

If Goldmisht's previous book, PhotoDiary, was meant as a glimpse into her ife as a rock and roll photographer, this book acts as a more in-depth analysis of her often mad-cap and random life. We get an introduction rife with personal memories and motivations, which acts to cement the photos and stories that make up the majority of the book in reality. Lynn's life through the lens looks oh-so-glamourous, but celebrities and rock stars are not the easiest clients, so while she reminisces about the good times and good people there are definite notes of disappointment and even anger withihn the narrative. If anything, the book left me wanting more - more of her stories and more of her photographs! ( )

Great photographs; interesting, if sparse, text. ( )
