Reviews

“A pleasure to read straight through, like a novel or abiography.”
“The extent of Mr. Simon’s genius hits you like a shot.... In aHemingway-size fistful of words, he creates a world as precise as any.... Anessential document of arguably the greatest popular songwriter of our time.”
“It's almost impossible to read, and not mentally sing, his familiarlines.”
“Long overdue, but well worth the wait.”
