I finished reading Hip Hop Is History, the latest book by Questlove, on a recent Saturday afternoon. On my walk the next night, I was listening to Terri Gross’ interview with Questlove on Fresh Air. The first song that she mentioned was Rapper’s Delight, the first commercially successful hip hop song. I paused Fresh Air, found the long – like 15 minutes long – version of Rapper’s Delight, and listened to that. Then I went back to the interview. -

It took me a lot longer to read The Last Days of Letterman: The Final 6 Weeks, than it should have. It’s not a very long book, just over 300 pages, with more than 100 photographs. But I found myself turning again and again to YouTube to watch a clip of something that was mentioned in the text. -
I knew the ultimate ending of Altamont when I first picked up the book by the same name. In fact, the first sentence on the inside of the dust jacket gives it away: "The definitive story of the Rolling Stones' infamous Altamont concert and the murder that brought the sixties rock revolution to a shocking conclusion.”
