The Magic Years
Scenes from a Rock-and-Roll Life
Jonathan Taplin
Join Jonathan Taplin on an extraordinary journey through the major cultural waves of the past half century. From touring with Bob Dylan and working with Hollywood's rebellious film movement, to creating the internet's first video-on-demand service, Taplin's life has been marked by impeccable instincts and firsthand experiences with icons like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Martin Scorsese. In The Magic Years, Taplin offers a rock memoir and cultural criticism that makes a convincing case for the power of art to rekindle our humanism and deliver us from passionless detachment.

Great book — it’s rare that someone can tell a first-person account of the earliest Dylan concerts, the civil rights movement, JFK’s assassination, MLK’s rallies, the Beatles’ first arrival in America
