Reviews
""Kent, Ohio, infamous for the 1970 Kent State University shootings, also spawned a robust and influential music scene. Drawing on vintage concert reviews and firsthand reminiscences, Prufer paints an affectionate picture of a music-hungry community that welcomed artists including Pink Floyd, the Clash, the Replacements, and Bruce Springsteen—as well as hometown heroes Devo and Joe Walsh—often at early, pivotal stages of their careers."" —Publishers Weekly ""What brought all those people—those artists, photographers, poets, filmmakers, and musicians—together? College. Kent State is what made Kent such a magical place at the time and what continues to make it special. And I would never be able to be where I am now without that experience. It was just a magical time."" —Joe Walsh, from the Foreword
