Jonathan Taplin’s extraordinary journey has put him at the crest of every major cultural wave in the past half century. His is a lifetime marked not only by good timing but by impeccable instincts - from the folk scene of Woodstock, to Hollywood’s rebellious film movement and beyond, Taplin is not just a witness but a lifelong producer, the right-hand man to some of the greatest talents of both pop culture and the underground. 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.

Fascinating tale; poorly prepared reader.

Taplin’s saga is interesting and well told. He’s almost a Zelig-like character for being at so many cultural flashpoints through the years (I say almost because he’s not without agency). Roger Wayne’ narration would otherwise warrant high marks were it not for his mispronunciation of so many names. He gets right the ones everybody knows (Dylan, Beatles, Stones) but trips up on the less familiar. Ex. Leica camera becomes Lee-ca; the Eagles’ Glenn Frey he sounds out to rhyme with they rather than fry. And at least a dozen more. Kind of distracting. Blame for this must also rest with the careless production team.
