Rolling Stones '69

Dylan actually gets two chapters, along with Elvis. He’s clearly Hepworth’s favourite artist, and the big cultural event one of the chapters described is nothing more than Hepworth getting to interview him at Madison Square Gardens. Ho hum, I guess if I met Dylan I’d bang on about it as well.

Close. 66 is Hendrix

33

Close. 69 is Black Sabbath

34

The Stones actually get 2 chapters, neither of which are 69. The first one is actually mostly about Ian Stewart, a man kicked out of the Stones because he wasn’t cut out to be a rock star, where image is (was) so important.

35

Nope. 75 is an exception to the usual western, white rock basis of the book.

36

Neither The Jam or Costello. You’re getting close.

37

Is it Fela Kuti? Absolutely should be. Fair play to the author if it is

38

Foo Fighters are new testament

39

Probably Bob Marley though isn’t it

40

Yeah, Bob Marley

Thought that would have been Lennon because of the whole Jesus furore.
