Editorial : "The world's highest-grade rock'n'roll gossip Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay is a sharp, fast-moving and beautifully written popular history spanning three centuries of wheeling, dealing, horse-trading, cigar-chewing enterprise and skullduggery" -- Mark Ellen "There's music and there's the music business.

He tells this roller coaster of a story like it is: engaging, amusing, heartbreaking, enraging and appalling with every turn of the page" -- Mark Knopfler "One of the best music books I've ever read" -- Pete Paphides "A fascinating, witty and optimistic music biz history, by one of its legendary insiders An essential text" Mojo "The only history of pop music you'll ever have to read" Huffington Post

It practically contains every dead artist from all genres of music. I want to meditate but it's so boring just sitting there by myself. It starts with information about osteoporosis, then explains why Yoga is used to prevent it and other age-related problems. All of the problems have answers in the back of the book.
