Music rumors revealed.

For those of you who consider yourselves fleshy receptacles of useless trivia, Gavin Edwards’ Is Tiny Dancer Really Elton’s Little John? is essential to your literary repertoire. Virtually every rumor and question concerning pop music that you ever needed answers to is in this book, as well as some you may have never heard of. Did Pink Floyd record an entire album using only household objects? Where did the album Atom Heart Mother get its name? In fact, my favorite selections from this book were about Pink Floyd including an examination of the illustrious Dark Side and The Wizard of Oz mythos.

Furthermore, what is so cool/infuriating about this book is the oh-so-casual written voice of Edwards telling tales of when he sat down and talked to some of MY heroes. A compilation of trivia is one thing, but that combined with professional insight and expertise…grrr! Good book. Read it.
