About the Book

A legendary journalist presents his rock 'n' roll journey, featuring more than one hundred short interviews with popular musicians from 1967 to 1973.

Book Synopsis

The Doors, James Brown, the Grateful Dead, the Sir Douglas Quintet, David Bowie--the list goes on. . . . From 1967 to 1973, Michael Oberman interviewed more than three hundred top musical artists. Collected together for the first time, Fast Forward, Play and Rewind presents more than one hundred interviews Oberman conducted with the most important musical artists of the day
Along the way, Oberman touches on the influence of his brother, who interviewed the Beatles and other top artists from 1964 to 1967. He also recounts stories from his later career working for the major Warner-Elektra Atlantic recording company and producing concerts for Cellar Door Productions and managing recording artists.
Want to know the true story of how David Bowie became Ziggy Stardust? That and dozens more true tales that might seem like fiction are waiting inside the pages of Fast Forward, Play and Rewind. Each short interview is an invitation for readers to relive (or live for the first time) one of the greatest periods in rock 'n' roll history.

Review Quotes

"Equal parts pop-cultural reportage and autobiography, these dispatches from the front lines of rock & roll are often as insightful as they are amusing, capturing the art form before it was one. Just as rock & roll was still defining itself, so was the role of rock critic. Mike Oberman was there." --Kevin Avery
