California-based music journalist John M. Borack will be signing copies of his new book, John Lennon: Life Is What Happens (Krause Publications, paperback, $26.99), at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, February 26th, from 11am-1pm.
John Lennon: Life Is What Happens celebrates the life and times of one of the most influential musicians in pop music history. A singer, songwriter, artist, social activist, husband, and father, Lennon's genius inspired a generation--and continues to do so today, some 30 years after his death.
This fascinating read features more than 500 photographs and rare images of Lennon juxtaposed by the myriad pop-culture memorabilia created from the height of Beatlemania into the late 1970s and the Plastic Ono Band. Chronicling his musical career, the book includes hundreds of classic photographs, dozens of quotes by and about Lennon, and personal reminiscences from fans and celebrities recalling Lennon's impact on their lives.
John M. Borack is a music journalist whose reviews, columns, and feature articles have appeared in periodicals such as Goldmine Magazine, Amplifier, and The Garden Grove Journal over the past 25 years. He has also contributed to the book and website The Trouser Press Guide to '90s Rock, and has written liner notes for nearly a dozen CDs by various pop-rock artists. He published his first book, Shake Some Action: The Ultimate Power Pop Guide, in 2008, and is currently at work on a biography of Paul McCartney, tentatively titled Yesterdays, that will be published in 2011.
