Praise for The Kennedys' New York: "The Kennedys' New York is a literary tour of the places the family frequented - and how they shaped them. From the W. 16th St. doctor's office that John F. Kennedy visited to heal his back pain to the Greenwich Village club that hosted the Velvet Underground (with Bobby Kennedy in the audience), this is a romp through the city like no other." - People Magazine Praise for John Lennon: 1980 Playlist "A fascinating read" - KRON-TV San Francisco "It's a fantastic book!" - The Strange Brew Podcast "...Chock full of great musical anecdotes and oddball surprises..Carefully researched...an excellent addition to anyone's Beatles bookshelf." - Culture Sonar "If you think you know everything about Mr. Lennon you will be gobsmacked when reading this book." - Evan's Gate Blog Praise for Sounds Like Teen Spirit: "This book is a winner...one of those 'Why didn't I think of that projects.'" - Kirkus Reviews "It's a good book." - Howard Stern, SiriusXM Praise for Popology: "Well written...English examines the connections between these men and music, adding a new wrinkle in chronicling their life stories...An enlightening, accessible book that will appeal to pop music fans and well as history and pop culture buffs." - Kirkus Reviews
