Description
The Age of the Rock Star Has Passed The idea of the rock star lives on in our imaginations, a symbol of swagger, recklessness, and self-belief. But what did we see in them? Talent, charisma, and a certain way of carrying themselves. In the 1950s to 1990s, a tribe of rock stars rose to fame, shaping our lives and fantasies in the process. David Hepworth's Uncommon People explores the defining moments and turning points in the lives of 40 rock stars, bursting myths and creating new ones. This is not just their story, but ours as well. By examining the lives of these uniquely motivated individuals, Hepworth reveals the complexities and contradictions of the rock star myth, and the lasting impact they had on our culture.
