ROCK’N’ROLL BABYLON 50 Years Of Sex, Drugs And Rock’n’Roll
Gary Herman Revised and Updated Rock’n’Roll Babylon does for rock’n’roll what the legendary Hollywood Babylon did for the movies. Spanning from the original rock’n’rollers of the 1950s to the rappers, divas and heavy metal rockers of the present day, the author further casts a jaundiced eye over the overblown antics of present-day stars. Gary Herman cuts through the PR illusions with the help of 200 rare and revealing photographs, exposing the decadence and degradation of rock’n’roll. Including stories such as Marilyn Manson, and his media crucifixion over the Columbine massacre; Eminem, and his soap opera-scandal lifestyle; Tupac, Biggie, and the rap wars that claimed their lives; Kurt Cobain, Michael Hutchence, and the scandals surrounding their suicides. Rock’n’Roll Babylon takes apart the whole phenomenon of rock stardom. 352 pages / 320 b+w photo / 240 x 190 mm
