David Ackerman said Do we believe it all? Who cares--it's still great!. Okay--this book is full of errors and some stories I not only don't believe, but I know for a fact are not true. There are misspellings all over the place. BUT you won't be able to put this book down--literally. If only Jimmy Webb had written his book like this. You will have to decide for yourself which stories come from a very paranoid mind and which stories really did happen. Whatever the case, I loved it and still would recommend it. A big bonus are his paragraphs about each of his songs (obscure ones too!) at the end of the book.. "PHIL IS A HARBINGER OF THE AQUARIAN AGE. HIS SONGS WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME." CREED BRATTON. "I remember the night I wrote 'Eve of Destruction'. It was the night P.F. Sloan was born--the emergence of a higher form of consciousness." P.F. Sloan."He had the vibe that stars have and that commercial jet pilots used to have." S.E. Feinberg."Stardom and success lay in front of me now, followed by destruction and ultimately resurrection." P.F. Sloan."I had already been labeled a perverted harbinger of dangerous thinking by the public and by the record companies. P.F. Sloan."Are you a red, Flip? Because if you are, let me know, so we can put a bullet in your head." Jay Lasker, Dunhill Records. Derrick Phillips said A fascinating read from beginning to end. P. F. Sloan's memoir is a fascinating read from beginning to end. Despite several typos and a bit of misinformation (He credits Barry McGuire with the writing of Hoyt Axton's "Greenback Dollar" and Randy Sparks' "GreenGreen"), the book reveals a detailed and telling portrait of a young and brilliant songwriter ("Eve of Destruction", "Secret Agent Man", and many more) caught up in the whirlwind of the music business. It also presents a scathingly honest picture of the corruption that goes on in the business. He minces no words about how certain record label execs screwed him out of his royaltie
--Jocks & Nerds . An outsider. --James Crowther, Radio JJThe folk world had sanctioned a select few to be their spokesmen. A poignant remembrance of a vanished era when summer meant fun, and a gifted young songwriter could take a little ray of sunshine, a little bit of soul, add just a touch of magic and get the greatest thing since rock 'n' roll.--L.A. And it s with those words in mind that you open the first chapter of this fascinating and brutally honest book. Sloan was not sanctioned. Observed Highly readable and entertaining…--Mojo --MojoSloan's journey has been at times tortuous others celebratory, mystical and mysterious but most of all its a tale of success through adversity, of huge indomitable human spirit and of a tortured genius who finally is getting the accolades and recognition he truly deserves, its possibl
P.F. Sloan was one of the most prolific and influential geniuses to emerge from the golden age of the 60s. And then he disappeared. Sloan was everywhere. From his little studio at Dunhill Records, Sloan was a veritable hit-machine, writing and playing guitar for The Mamas & The Papas (that's Sloan's infectious guitar lick on 'California Dreamin'), Barry McGuire (the brilliant and controversial 'Eve Of Destruction'), Johnny Rivers (the iconic 'Secret Agent Man'), The Turtles, The Grass Roots, Herman's Hermits, The Fifth Dimension, The Searchers, and more. With a foreword by British singer-songwriter Rumer and an afterword by Creed Bratton, the Grass Roots guitarist turned star of The Office, What's Exactly The Matter With Me? is a revelatory memoir of an extraordinary life through the most fascinating years of American and British musical and pop culture. P.F. Beginning with a chance meeting with Elvis Presley, this is the story of a boy whose only love was music--of dreams, success, destruction, and miraculous resurrection. This is the dangerous ride and inspiring story of one of the greatest songwriters in popular music--and also one of the most elusive and mysterious.. Along the way we encounter The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield, The Beach Boys, and more, as well as UFOs and psychiatric hospitals
Feinberg is a playwright, script consultant, and humorist based in Topanga Canyon, California. Sloan fan since he was fourteen and recently co-wrote, with P.F. He has been a P.F. Sloan, Louie! Louie!, a musical based on the life of Ludwig van Beethoven.. P.F.
