To quote Charles Ottley Groom Napier: "Where the British lion roams, from the Hindoo Kush, to Cape Comorin, where he marches to the field with his trumpet [or 12-string Rickenbacker] roar, there the jackals, or native Allies howl." Now jackals are not bad, by any means, at least not necessarily. Some appear to be quite affable, in fact. "Nice working with you, Larry," said Paul McCartney, and this sentiment (in fact these very words) were echoed, numerous times, by John, George and Ringo. This line will probably be carved Larry Kane's tombstone. ( ) I love the Beatles and loved hearing all about them and listening to the interviews on the CD included with this book. That said, I think Larry Kane's narration was a bit stilted, as if he was writing an essay, not telling a story. Maybe it was Kane's broadcasting/journalist career showing through here, but his writing style was disappointing. Still, with a subject as interesting as the Beatles it's hard to go wrong. I really appreciated the first-hand accounts of this important event and enjoyed learning more about what John, Paul, George, and Ringo were really like. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
(Book). In 1964-1965, Larry Kane was the only American reporter, broadcast or newspaper, to travel with the Fab Four on every stop of their North American tour. In Ticket to Ride , Kane tells the story of what it was like to literally live with the four young men who would leave an indelible mark on contemporary music. Weaving in the voices of the Beatles themselves and covering the electrifying action of the road-the performances, the mischief, and all the players who cropped up along the way during those key years that catapulted the Beatles to major success Ticket to Ride is unlike any other book on the Beatles. The story is told from the perspective of a seasoned journalist, who at the time of the tour was just coming into his own in a nation that was bracing for the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, and a radical shift in rock-and-roll music. Twenty-one and eager to cover "big news," Kane unknowingly was in the process of covering one of the biggest music events in history. Ticket to Ride is an inside account of these exciting years during the career of the band that redefined rock and roll. A must-have for Beatles fans, this paperback edition includes a foreword by the legendary Dick Clark, a CD of bonus interview material, rare photographs, and an appendix detailing tour schedules.
