SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNG MOD REBELS – THE WHO IN THE AGE OF REVOLUTION
e-book, 110 pages. Price $5
The definitive saga of the Who in the years pre-Tommy, as seen through the eyes of band members, friends and fans alike. From the earliest days on the Bob Druse circuit, pounding out R&B to the gum-chewing hordes, to the triumph of the Monterey Festival – and beyond! – SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNG MOD REBELS delves deep into the psychology and the psychosis of the Who, as they transformed themselves from Pop Art to pop stars, from Mod tickets to mad dogs, and established Pete Townshend as the most inventively literate songwriter of his generation.
Searching for the Young Mod Rebels is the third of four books that, taken together, reflect upon the mid-late 1960s life and times of the four most significant bands of that particular era ~ namely, Cream, the Jeff Beck Group, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Who. Already available, Cream: How Eric Clapton Took The World By Storm (Virgin Books) and Truth – Rod Stewart, Ron Wood and the Jeff Beck Group (Cherry Red Books) tell the first two stories; the fourth, For Whom The Wind Cries, will be made available in 2007.
