Synopsis

Everyone has that one legendary musician that they just don’t “get.” That celebrated genius who – for whatever reason – just leaves you cold. For some, it’s Bob Dylan. For others, it’s the Boss, Pearl Jam, U2, even The Beatles. THERE, I SAID IT is a collection of hilarious, personal, thought-provoking essays by acclaimed writers - screenwriters, novelists, musicians, actors, producers, directors, Saturday Night Live contributors, even a former Obama staffer – who have a confession to make, each about a different musical icon: "I just don’t get it." Other subjects include: The Rolling Stones, U2, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Steely Dan, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, The Who, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Carole King, John Coltrane, Leonard Cohen, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Richard Wagner, Frank Sinatra, Pearl Jam, Stevie Wonder, The Smiths, Counting Crows, Al Green, Barbra Streisand, Bob Marley, Macklemore, and The Grateful Dead.
