"Radio City" (the book) is the improbable but true story of an ardent fan who gets close enough to Alex Chilton, the prime architect of the best power pop album ever made outside of Abbey Road Studios, to see what's on the other side of genius, fame, and expectations.This book examines the key ingredients of "Radio City's" lasting appeal, including the unique confluence of circumstances that channeled Alex Chilton's creative energies toward the possibility of commercial success for perhaps the last time.
