Love Is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield
4.0

A little book for any music lover.

Sheffied is the editor of the Rolling Stones. Renee was his wife until she passed in 1997. This book is about how much he loves music, how rock and roll moved him, how it drowned him and how it saved him.

This book is an intimate lens looking into somebody's past. The sorrow following Renee's death is so palpable, so real. So is Sheffield's love for mix tapes, despite how advanced technology is nowadays and how much the music industry has changed. I do wish I had been born in an era when people still make each other tapes.
