Born At The Right Time by Ray Connolly
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1 mb
Overview: Within a few days of interviewing Elvis Presley, Ray Connolly was answering Bob Dylan’s questions about the encounter. A week later it was the turn of John Lennon to ask the same Elvis questions. No matter how famous a star might be, Ray Connolly realized, he or she is always in awe of someone who went before. For Dylan and Lennon it was Elvis.
For over half a century Ray Connolly has been chronicling popular culture and asking questions of the famous. Muhammad Ali said ‘boxing was the best thing I could have done…if I could, I would have been a great doctor or something like that’; Spike Milligan described his call-up papers as ‘a cunningly worded invitation to partake in World War II’; Leonard Cohen said that, before he became a songwriter, he wrote poems as a way of getting off with girls; Dusty Springfield risked her career by suddenly coming out as bisexual in the interview; while Paul McCartney phoned him to ask to be interviewed about the Beatles’ break-up.
Born At The Right Time is Ray Connolly’s memoir of a career as a journalist, novelist and screenwriter, that also offers reflections on the rapidly changing world that he and his generation have lived through; one in which popular music became for many an ever-present accompaniment.
