\ From Barnes & NobleWith their roving, rowdy lives, rock stars attract more groupies than Boswells. Many rock biographies consist of little more than random vignettes picked up along the tour road. What makes Rock Shrines special is that it focuses on the spaces where these icons intersected with history, some fatally. This book touches dozens of superstar bases, including Bob Marley, Brian Jones, Buddy Holly, Dee Dee Ramone, Dennis Wilson, Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Sam Cooke, Sid Vicious, Kurt Cobain, and Michael Jackson.\ \ \
