Famous news reporter Tom Brokaw wrote another book that got published a few months ago: Boom! Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections on the '60s and Today. You may recall that Brokaw wrote a book about the 40s a few years ago called The Greatest Generation. This one is a colection of stories from people, both famous and non-famous, about their experiences during one of the most favorite and famous eras of the 20th century. I haven't read the book yet, but the problem is I can't imagine it's terribly exciting with Brokaw at the helm. I have nothing against the guy, but I don't think there's ever been a stiffer stuffed shirt in the media biz. Brokaw went on Ellen Degeneres' show a few months ago to talk about the book and what the sixties were like for him. It was so boring. I was so hoping Ellen would've asked him, "Tom, do you remember the first time you dropped acid? When did you smoke your first joint?" I mean this was the 60s, after all. That would've thrown him for a loop!
The book seems to be getting positive reviews from readers on Amazon, though. You can buy it there for only $17 or so.
