From Publishers Weekly
With essays on rock's subgenres, superheroes and original sinners by writers and critics from its inception up through today, The Mammoth Book of Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll doesn't claim to cover it all, but nonetheless comes pretty close. A short concluding section summarizes the darkest moments of the brightest stars in subsections with titles like "Death by Their Own Hand" and "Doomed Rock 'n' Roll Marriages." For the scoop or the dirt on Hendrix, Tupac, Baez or Harry Connick Jr., look no further than this compendium, edited by Jim Driver. ( Apr.)
