	The Lives of John Lennon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goldman also alleged that Lennon was a schizophrenic, a charge which had never been made before and of which there is scant evidence, and an anti-Semite, which seems to be based on casual offhand statements typical of working class Liverpudlians of a certain generation rather than any actual behavior.
		Goldman's most serious charge claims that Lennon was not only instrumental in the murder of a sailor whom he and Pete Best "rolled" in Hamburg, but also in the death of Lennon's close friend Stu Sutcliffe.
		Goldman alleges that Ono had been a prostitute while attending Sarah Lawrence College, and depicts her as a willing participant in the petty crimes and sexually based flmail schemes of her second husband, Tony Cox, whom she had been married to prior to Lennon.

	Beatles Reference Library - Albert Goldman
		It's not a question of hating or despising Goldman; it's a matter of using a source which is dependable, trustworthy, and carefully researched.
		Goldman failed to interview primary sources, and relied on people whose views of Lennon's life were colored by ulterior (and questionable) motives.
		Goldman's sources were heavily flawed, his research often laughably inaccurate, and his own motivations for writing the book quite questionable.

	Mike Daley - essay - "Representations of the Other in the blues revival"
		Albert Goldman, in "Why Do Whites Sing Black?", begins with a romanticized scene of old Memphis, at a time when "America was still a land of brutal innocence" (Goldman 1969).
		Goldman gives the example of Paul Butterfield, a white musician who came to study the blues and "so ingratiated himself with his fl masters that they took him on as an apprentice and taught him the blues the way no young fl boy is taught in these evil tradition-spurning days" (Goldman 1969).
		Albert Goldman's account of Paul Butterfield's musical development - his early apprenticeship in authentic blues, his mastery of the form and finally his fortified return to super-white rock, can be seen as a paradigm of the blues revival.

		Goldman has worked like a dog for five years with his research material (some of it provided by packager-promoter Lawrence Schilier much of it Goldman's own remembering, interviewing and man-hunting), but there is none of that academic fiddle-focus distancing.
		Goldman paints a brilliant picture of the sleazy underside of show be we where Bruce started out as just another weak, notalent schmuck", and gradually became the horrific prodigy of what was called sick comedy.
		Goldman, a writer for Life magazine (he was the one who kept writing those "Rock is dead" pieces whenever somebody OD’d), has patched together a kaleidoscopic view of Bruce, through research and interviews.

		Goldman's exhaustively researched book painted him as a depressed, drug-addled, frequently manipulated genius who consistently eluded the personal triumphs that his talent and popularity seemingly should have produced.
		Goldman utilized an almost novelistic narrative that gives you the sense of being there during the key events in Lennon's life, which also strains his credibility as an accurate reporter at times.
		Certainly Goldman's dark portrait of Lennon and his compatriots has to be taken with a grain of salt, but it remains essential reading for those interested in getting the full picture of Lennon's personal and artistic history.

	BeatleLinks Fab Forum - Is Albert Goldman A Character Assasin?
		Goldman has a reputation of trashing dead celebrities in his biographies of them.
		To me, Goldman was just one of these spineless jellyfishes because he had a reputation for ripping on people, who were not around to defend themselves ("The Lives Of John Lennon" being case in point).
		The other thing that bothered me about the Goldman book is that he failed to do his homework thoroughly; a number of dates are incorrect.

		Goldman himself, in his sly way, all but shows the tongue lodged in his cheek (to wit: "specious sentimentality and good cheer"; a comparison between John Lennon and John Cage that "was not to the former's disadvantage"; "dangers that have materialized beyond even [his] darkest foreboding").

	"Ladies and Gentlemen - Lenny Bruce!!!" by Albert Goldman - Ubqtous.com
		Once in every generation a man appears who seems intent on exploring to the bottom the fantasy system of his day: the shadowy network of dreams, desires and delusions that most people allow to lick around the edge of consciousness without ever once daring to act them out.
		All the trials for obscenity and drugs are described and analyzed, all the mad strategies of the ultimate operator caught in the ultimate trap unfolded to their full and surrealistic length.
		Perhaps Albert Goldman overemphasized Lenny Bruce's flaws—stretching the truth thin over the framework of his career-making biography—but his rendition of the truth is nonetheless engaging.

	Tucson Weekly: The King Revisited (July 24 - July 30, 1997)
		Goldman's mean-spirited, overly imaginative keyhole observations attempted to yank Elvis from the top shelf of American mythology by revealing potentially demeaning information about the King.
		Nonetheless, Whitmer exhumes some fresh clues--none of them suggesting that Elvis was a centerfold for mental health--as to why the Scarfed One both burned as brightly as he did and prematurely snuffed himself out.
		From the days when Freud wrote psychobiographies of Michelangelo and Moses, it's become obvious that a full quarter of the conclusions drawn would be rightfully dismissed by the subject were he/she still around to respond.

	Printed Matter -- Alan Elms -- December 4, 1994
		Goldman, you may recall, wrote a highly unflattering book about Elvis Presley a few years ago that included a diagnosis of the rock star as a split personality and a delusional paranoid.
		Elms says Goldman is a good example of an author who tried to employ a psychobiographical technique and failed utterly.
		Goldman attempted to augment his Elvis biography with a serious psychological analysis when all he really did was shove this famous person into a pathological pigeonhole, said Elms.

	The World's Most Dangerous Woman: A New Biography Of Emma Goldman :: AK Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In the United States, Goldman was notorious as "Red Emma" and "the most dangerous woman in America" because of her advanced anti-authoritarian views.
		In fact, she was "the world's most dangerous woman" in the sense that she immersed herself in local issues wherever she was exiled, and was accepted as a public personality to a degree that would seem astounding in today's mainstream press.
		In researching this new biography of Emma Goldman, Theresa Moritz and Albert Moritz have scoured previously ignored private papers in Europe and the United States, and a wealth of indigenous resources long unknown to, or undervalued by, anarchists and feminists.

	Albert King : Blues for Elvis: Albert King Does the King's Things - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Originally titled King Does the King's Thing, here's Albert King adding his own touch to a batch of Elvis Presley tunes.
		Because King's style is so irreducible, the concept actually works, as he fills this album with his traditional, high-voltage guitar work and strong vocals.
		That isn't surprising, since four of the nine tunes on here originally started as R&B hits covered by Presley, including an instrumental version of Smiley Lewis' "One Night." No matter what the original sources may be, though, this is a strong showing in King's catalog.

	Bagism: Library: John Lennon/Beatles Book Reviews
		Goldman is being painted as some "brave" writer who had the courage to bring out Lennon's faults when the entire book is based on nothing but rumors and unrevealed informants.
		Goldman used Allen Klein as a source and used "The Lives of John Lennon" to whitewash Klein and make it seem that Lennon was a helpless freak who needed Klein's financial and legal discipline to save him from himself.
		Goldman also says that John's "househusband" phase (during which John devoted himself to caring for Sean [that's why the Lennons never employed nannies or assistants] and baking bread for Elliot) was public relations BS.
