Robert Hilburn: "Cornflakes with John Lennon: And Other Tales from a Rock ‘n’ Roll Life" November 11, 2009

Hilburn's storied career as a rock critic has allowed him a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of some of the most iconic figures of our time. From exclusive interviews with Johnny Cash in Folsom prison and Bob Dylan during his “born-again” period, to cartoons with Michael Jackson and a friendship with John Lennon, Hilburn has been more than just a critic. In this unique account of the symbiotic relationship, Hilburn reflects on the ways in which he has changed and been changed by the subjects he's covered, and how music reshapes the way we think about the world and define the American character.
