Pretty Great submitted by Sammi Ramser on June 30, 2015, 4:00pm This book is not one I would recommend for most young people but at 13 I enjoyed it. It gave me some education on the music before me. Especially being a musical artist myself and loving music in general, this was a great book on one of the best bands in yesterdays culture. It showed how we got to today in rock and roll.
