For 35 years, Robert Hilburn chronicled the evolution of rock music -- from
the Beatles to U2 to Green Day -- in the Los Angeles Times. One of the most
influential music writers in the nation, his reviews helped launch Elton John in
America and popularize other top artists. His myriad adventures included being
the only journalist present for Johnny Cash's concert at Folsom prison and being
invited to watch cartoons with Michael Jackson in his bedroom. Hilburn's new
book traces his journey through the rock n' roll age and how the music affects
us all. He will take questions from Geoff Boucher, an arts reporter whose
diverse work in the Times recently included a ode to Hilburn and his long
career, and from the audience.
