Nöthin' But a Good Time: The Uncensored History of the '80s Hard Rock Explosion
With this post, I am introducing a new series of blogs that will feature one particular book about metal and hard rock music that I am currently reading. With these book read along blogs, I will periodically share content from the segment of the book that I have read since the last blog. My plan is to give some highlights from each progressive section of the book, and also provide some commentary and critiques of the book and the material covered in the book. It is my hope that if you find the featured book interesting from reading these read along blogs, you will then help support the author by buying their book in your preferred format.
"Nothin' But A Good Time: The Uncensored History of the '80s Hard Rock Explosion", written by Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock, is a new book that was just released on March 16, 2021. This is the first book that I will be writing about in my new book read along series of blogs. Look for the next installment of this Harper Metal News Read Along blog soon.
