ROCK CRITIC CONFIDENTIAL is the profusely illustrated anthology of
rock 'n' roll writing and photography by veteran CREEM Magazine
editor Jeffrey Morgan, who is also the authorized biographer of
both Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop & The Stooges. This full colour
hard cover coffee table size book draws from an extraordinary
wealth of Jeffrey Morgan's innovative CREEM Magazine pieces.
Discovered in 1974 by influential journalist Lester Bangs, Morgan
ended up being CREEM's longest-serving rock critic. Morgan's
writing appeared in every single issue of America's Only Rock 'n'
Roll Magazine from October 1975 to November 1988, for a grand total
of 158 consecutive monthly issues lasting more than thirteen years,
plus another seven years writing for the magazine's original
website, resulting in a CREEM rock writing reign of over twenty
years. ROCK CRITIC CONFIDENTIAL'S centerpiece is Jeffrey Morgan's
extensive and definitive interviews, many of which have never been
published before in their complete uncensored form. Morgan is well
known for taking command of an interview and getting his subjects
to open up in a way that they never would for anyone else, as
evidenced by his close encounters with heavyweight sparring
partners, further enhanced by the added inclusion of dozens of
rare, never before seen rock photographs taken by Morgan during the
'70s and '80s, including previously unpublished portraits of The
Who, Bob Dylan, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Jeff
Beck, Freddie Mercury, KISS, Miles Davis, Paul McCartney, and many
others-all captured in their youthful prime. ROCK CRITIC
CONFIDENTIAL regenerates the genre by being the first book by a
rock critic published in a copiously illuminated paradigm-defining
hardcover coffee table edition that sets new nonpareil standards of
excellence against which all other rock writing books will forever
be gauged. That's not hyperbole, that's a fact because it ain't
bragging if you can back it up. Compromising Photos. Third Degree
Interrogations. If there's a safe space for rock stars... This
isn't it. "Jeffrey, you're a smartass-watch it!" - Iggy Pop,
embittered Godfather of Punk "Lies! Lies! Lies!" - Alice Cooper,
embittered living legend "Tell Jeffrey from me if he comes to see
me personally some time, I'll return the compliment." - Pete
Townshend, embittered founding guitarist of The Who "I cordially
invite Jeffrey to join us at our Tae Kwan-Do class any day of the
week just to say hello to all the guys up here." - Bob Ezrin,
embittered record producer of Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed,
KISS "One of the finest music writers on Earth." -
