Welcome back to the Rock 'n Roll Ghost Podcast. On this week's episode, the Ghost speaks with author Jonathan Taplin about his new book, The Magic Years, which details his wild career that goes from being a tour manager for Bob Dylan and the Band in the 60s, to producing films directed by Martin Scorsese in the 70s, to Wall Street in the 80s, new technology pioneering in the 90s and now an esteemed author.   

From the publisher: With cameos by Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Martin Scorsese, and countless other icons, The Magic Years is both a rock memoir and a work of cultural criticism from a key player who watched a nation turn from idealism to nihilism. Taplin offers a clear-eyed roadmap of how we got here and makes a convincing case for art’s power to deliver us from “passionless detachment” and rekindle our humanism.
