Arts Remembrance: Be the Rock Star — A Tribute to Jules Siegel

Legendary music journalist Jules Siegel died of a heart attack on November 17, 2012 at the age of 77. There was no “New York Times” obituary, no mention in “Rolling Stone.” But to me, he was a rock star.

By: Adam Ellsworth Filed Under: Featured, Music, Rock Tagged: Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Goodbye Surfing, Hello God!, Jules Siegel, rock journalism, Smile
