ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

                                             It's not only rock 'n' roll! It's rock wisdom.


             All You Need is Love:
 And 99 Other Life Lessons From Classic Rock Songs.

I love this book, All you need is love by Pete Fornatale and Bill Ayres, and give it 5 stars. There are so many little gems inside. I use it as a daily mantra by flipping through the pages and opening to just one page, find a nugget of wisdom for the day just for me from the message it gives. Try it, the feedback it gives really works like magic with this book. I find myself re-reading so many of them. It's deep, cleverly written and inspiring. You also re-learn a lot about the history of classic rock and musicians in a very light manner. You can make this kind of book a friend. Its also the perfect gift for someone special. Although first published in 2000, it reads as a timeless master-piece for your library shelf.   Sure hope to see an e-book in the future.  Enjoy!

Also just to read up on both these guys via google is quite an experience.
