Why read it?

1 author picked Do It as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book reached me when I was a young rebellious man in 1971, and it had an immediate impact on my behavior. The youth revolt that we not only could watch on TV since 1968, but which we also could live with our anti-authoritarian behavior at schools, universities, and at work, this new style was given a fresh and funny voice in this book.

Later, Frank Zappa elevated it to more intellectual grounds in lyrics and Jazz-Rock. But for me, Rubin's book still is the best starter for getting the original spirit of the youth revolt of 68.
