Publisher's Synopsis
The world went a little crazy in the seventies - over Watergate and gurus,Fleetwood Mac and David Bowie, designer jeans and jacuzzis, disco and punk, STAR WARS and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, Evel Knievel and pocket calculators. Never before have we been so extreme, so loud, so obnoxious, so confused - or so happy.
Presiding over this insanity was ROLLING STONE, with writers like Hunter S Thompson and Tom Wolfe not just observing the period but defining it. In creating this history of the demented decade, the editors of ROLLING STONE have brought together its greatest writers and defining images, reassessing the events, people and ideas of the decade and how they influence us today. With interviews and 100 stunning photos, this is both a gorgeous keepsake and an important work of cultural history.
