The Magic Years: Scenes from a Rock-and-Roll Life
Jonathan Taplin
Jonathan Taplin’s extraordinary journey has put him at the crest of every major cultural wave in the past half century: he was tour manager for Bob Dylan & the Band in the ’60s, producer of major films in the ’70s, an executive at Merrill Lynch in the ’80s, creator of the Internet’s first video-on-demand service in the ’90s, & a cultural critic & author writing about technology in the new millennium. His is a lifetime marked not only by good timing but by impeccable instincts―from the folk scene to Woodstock, Hollywood’s rebellious film movement, & beyond. Taplin is not just a witness but a lifelong producer, the right-hand man to some of the greatest talents of both pop culture & the underground.
With cameos by Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Martin Scorsese, & countless other icons, The Magic Years is both a rock memoir & a work of cultural criticism from a key player who watched a nation turn from idealism to nihilism. Taplin offers a clear-eyed roadmap of how we got here & makes a convincing case for art’s power to deliver us from “passionless detachment” & rekindle our humanism.
