1) Paperback Book Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards by HAL LEONARD CORPORATION. mr kooper has been at the correct musical intersections many times in his life. this yarn of the early years of the rock era morphing into the new reality is one of the best "art meets music biz" autobiographies around.¤ 2) Paperback Book Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards by HAL LEONARD CORPORATION. Kooper´s back room view of the music industry is hilarious. One flaw that is understandable is that he errs on the side of being far too polite. Almost Canadian......After getting screwed over to that degree, anyone would have trouble keeping their yapper shut shut. He shows great restraint, given the circumstances. I wanted more dirt, but a great read, nonetheless. Very funny.¤ 3) Paperback Book Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards by HAL LEONARD CORPORATION. What a remarkable story of a near miss star. Al Kooper was some of the glue that held early rock together. While never a star in his own right he added so much to what he did play on, that is, more ground breaking hits than anyone I know of. Just being the first organ in Rock is enough plus the horn band idea with BS&T, wow! His work with Leonard Skinered was a career in itself. Too bad he let his ego take him away from the limelight he deserves. He seems bitter in the end. Truly a story of Rock and Roll itself with Al as a matrix. He doesn´t seem to know just how lucky he was. Can´t say he let any moss grow on him though.¤ 4) Paperback Book Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards by HAL LEONARD CORPORATION. Great book - I couldn´t put it down. Here´s some insight into some of the greatest acts in rock - Dylan, Mike Bloomfield, Hendrix - it´s all there. Al Kooper is a funny guy and I enjoyed the book tremendously!¤ 5) Paperback Book Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards by HAL LEONARD CORPORATION. I recommend this book for everybody interested in the rock scene
of the 60`s and up !
Al Kooper has a lot to tell of the early days in rock music and is
a great writer .
A lot of good reading and dont forget:
Mr Kooper is still making really good music, listen to the newest
album Black Coffee and see what I mean...¤ 6) Paperback Book Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards by HAL LEONARD CORPORATION. ###############################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
