I feel McGuinn is indeed a legend. But he nowhere near has the status of a Lennon/McCartney or a Jagger/Richards, while the Byrds as a band do come closer to the status the Beatles and the Stones enjoy. Unfortunately McGuinn is soley a household name among music lovers, not so much amongst the general public. His later solo career suffered as a consequence. McGuinn admitted as much himself.SoulBoogieAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166276731612362941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642032278032679287.post-39259058131125998322009-06-08T22:29:24.041-07:002009-06-08T22:29:24.041-07:00I have to dispute this blog.......your dismissiven...I have to dispute this blog.......your dismissiveness of Roger McGuinn here is unbelievable really. You failed to mention that the Byrds first covered Goin Back in 1967 on the "Notorious Byrd Brothers" album....8 years before Springsteen did it. Roger McGuinn is a legend in most parts of the world to this day, he has never slipped into obscurity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642032278032679287.post-74151825020946874402008-09-04T10:47:00.000-07:002008-09-04T10:47:00.000-07:00Indeed; the book THE BYRDS by Bud Scoppa was copyr...Indeed; the book THE BYRDS by Bud Scoppa was copyrighted in 1971 by Scholastic Magazines, Inc. and distributed through Scholastic Book Services, accompanied by the aforementioned EP.
