My Rock and Roll Fantasy is a backstage pass to the wild, unpredictable, and deeply personal journey of Richard M. Adler, a teenage music fanatic from Forest Hills who found himself face-to-face with rock legends before he could even vote. Set against the explosive backdrop of the 1960s and '70s, this memoir brings readers into the heart of an era where music changed the world - and one young man's life. From working for The Beatles in their Apple Corps offices to sneaking backstage at Hullabaloo and jamming with The Yardbirds and The Hollies, Adler captures the thrill of being young and fearless in a time when rock music was at its peak. He tells unforgettable stories of dirt bomb fights between Beatles and Stones fans in the streets of Queens, backstage antics at Murray the K's legendary Easter rock shows, and witnessing history at the Shea Stadium Beatles concerts, including an infamous moment involving future punk icon Johnny Ramone. The book also delves into Adler's time in the music business during the Rock and Roll Revival era of the 1970s, working with Chuck Berry, Herman's Hermits, and Tina Turner. With humor and insight, he recounts managing talent, booking tours, and watching the industry evolve, all while hanging on to the wonder that first pulled him in. Filled with firsthand accounts, celebrity encounters, and rare behind-the-scenes perspectives, My Rock and Roll Fantasy is more than a memoir, it's a vivid portrait of coming of age in the golden era of rock. Whether you were there when it happened or wish you had been, Adler's stories will transport you back to a time when music was magic, concerts were electric, and dreams could become real, if you were bold enough to chase them. This is a must-read for fans of classic rock, Beatles devotees, and anyone who remembers (or wants to discover) what it was like when rock and roll ruled the world.
