The crucial element to a great road trip is direction. If your heart beats to a rock-and-roll tempo, Rock & Roll Traveler USA
is the ultimate road-trip reference for worshipping at the shrines of
the great. See the venue where Bruce Springsteen launched his Born in the U.S.A.
tour, the house where Chuck Berry was born, the theater where Jimi
Hendrix won Amateur Night in the sixties, and the spot where Janis
Joplin hit Jim Morrison over the head with a Southern Comfort bottle.
Also included are record stores across the U.S., funky cafés, details
on momentous gigs, and rock landmarks from New York to Los Angeles and
from Robert Johnson's Mississippi Delta to Kurt Cobain's Seattle.
Fodor's provides an unusual perspective here: a history of rock music
as seen through a road trip guide devoted to musical landmarks and rock
history archives. The regional and statewide organization assures
travelers easy access to local attractions, while tips on clubs, show
venues, and rock attractions makes for an excellent overview
