Rating:  Summary: Mission Accomplished! Review: My name is Snake Rock, and I am a former Clevelander, and a rock musician. I have never met Deanna Adams, however, when I was interviewed for this monumental book, I found Deanna to be concise and incredibly well informed.I know a GREAT many of the musicians who were interviewed, and was pleasantly surprised at the ones I had forgotten about. As far as "homework" is concerned, she deserves an"A" for EXTRA credit.I found ALL of the important names where they should be, and new ones that were added since I left in 1985.Great photos and text. What else could you ask for ? Bravo, Deanna!SSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssss
Rating:  Summary: Rock 'N Roll and the Cleveland Connection Review: Personally, I loved this book. Three of my seven kids were avid Rock fans and, being a single mother, I ended up taking them to concerts. I also ended up a fan of many of the bands mentioned. Deanna Adams gives so many insights to the era. One can tell she set out to produce a wonderfully detailed, and truthfully told chronicle of those times. Reading the book struck such a note of nostalgia for me. Thanks for the memories, Ms. Adams. And guess what three of my "Kids" are getting for Christmas.
Rating:  Summary: corrections? Review: This is an important book, a milestone. And certainly, <I>Radio Daze</I> follows in its footsteps.
I regret there doesn't seem to be a way to contact the writer to update/correct her research, perhaps for future editions. For the last few years my efforts haven't succeeded.
There's gotta be a way. Does anyone know an address to send items to Deanna?
peace
Rating:  Summary: Thanks for getting it right. Review: When I first spoke to author Deanna Adams nearly 4 years ago, I knew from that initial conversation that she was honest and sincere about telling it like it really happened. She asked hard questions, she made me check my dates, she challenged me if I gave her a fact that contridicted her notes. She poked, she prodded, she checked and she rechecked, she must have called me 10 times ... just to get it right. She got it right. The book is amazing. My only complaint, John Gorman got more mentions than I did.Great book, Deanna. Thank you. Billy Bass
