    Bad Title Great Articles
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2013*

Jim O'Donnell's "John Lennon Did Not Die a Slow Death" is a rather inelegantly titled book because there is more to the book. It contains nine more articles on everyone from the rock `n' roll trinity of Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin, to Elvis, Alan Freed, a much overlooked personage in the history of rock `n' roll.Being only a casual fan of The Beatles I was a bit nonplussed by the title story which debunks the myth that John Lennon was able to respond to police en-route to the hospital after being shot on December 8, 1980. This might be an important distinction for hardcore Beatles/Lennon fans, but it seems the tragedy of Lennon, who worked towards goals of love and peace became the first rock `n' roll assassination. This is the larger picture to remember.O'Donnell who has been writing about rock `n' roll since 1969, and is an acolyte of Richard Goldstein, who was one of the first rock writers to consider rock `n' roll an art form worthy of serious critique and criticism. O'Donnell's credentials range from books on McCartney and Lennon to Queen, and the articles contained in "John Lennon Did Not Die a Slow Death" are contemporaneously written articles. The article on Jim Morrison was written on the day his death was announced in the U.S. The article on Elvis is nothing short of a stunning review and summing up of Elvis' career to that point (1974)."John Lennon Did Not Die a Slow Death" is a fast read coming in at about sixty pages. However, the articles are congruent, insightful pieces and I'll take O'Donnell's sixty pages over other writer's couple of hundred pages any time.

How this ever got to be made into a book I'll never know.  Thankfully it didn't cost much or I would be upset. It was, However, reassuring to learn that John Lennon didn't die a slow death. It was the only thing worth reading about, I had no interest in any of the other chapters on other people. Again, I'm glad it was a cheap book.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Was an OK book until.........
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016*

This book, or at least My download, stops halfway thru. Nothing but a few blank pages starting at the Frank Zappa chapter. I am trying to return it but I'm being blocked.
