Book Review: 'When We Get to Surf City'


» Read similar stories filed under:

G. Barry Anderson Book Review of “When We Get to Surf City: A Journey through America in Pursuit of Rock and Roll, Friendship, and Dreams," by Bob Greene.

It all began quite simply.

Bob Greene was invited to a Jan and Dean gig and took advantage of what looked to be a one-shot opportunity to play the guitar briefly on stage. It led to 15 years of on-again, off-again touring with the 1960s rock-and-roll band known as Jan and Dean, all recounted here in “When We Get to Surf City.”

On May 11, Minnesota will officially turn 150. To celebrate this event, the Minnesota History Center opened an exhibit this past fall titled “MN150.” It features 150 people, places and things that shaped our state.

The exhibit was created from more than 2,700 nominations submitted by the public. A committee whittled the list down to 150, basing their choices on the compelling case made by the nominator as well as the potential for each topic to be developed into a successful exhibit component.

If the ingredient list on your favorite lotion or face cream contains words that you can’t pronounce and have no clue with they do, it might be time to consider a different approach.

With more and more people adopting a “green” lifestyle, it makes sense to consider making your own personalized body-care products.

This do-it-yourself approach allows for the creation of customized treatments using favorite herbs and other natural ingredients. It’s also a good way to save money and banish irritating or harmful chemicals.

About the book
“My Grandfather’s Son”
By Clarence Thomas
2007, HarperCollins Books
289 pages
$26.95, hardcover

It is with some trepidation that I write this review of the new Clarence Thomas autobiography. There seems no end of opinion about Justice Thomas, and that opinion seems to be divided into two camps, for and against, and never the twain shall meet.
