More on Dave Marsh
Description from Wikipedia:
Dave Marsh (born March 1, 1950, Detroit, Michigan) is an American music critic who briefly attended Wayne State University, became a formative editor of Creem magazine, wrote for various publications such as Newsday, The Village Voice, and Rolling Stone, and also edited Rock and Roll Confidential, a newsletter about rock music and social issues. Marsh is also a member of the National Advisory Board of PROTECT: The National Association to Protect Children.
His other credits include being rock n roll entertainer Bruce Springsteen's quasi-official biographer, with a total of four books published. Bestsellers include Born to Run and Glory Days. Mr. Marsh is closely associated with Mr. Springsteen, and Marsh's wife, Barbara Carr, is one of Springsteen's co-managers. Marsh is also closely associated with Jon Landau, a Springsteen manager and producer.
Marsh has been credited as a performer in the "cult group" the Rock Bottom Remainders, a rock band which includes authors Stephen King and Amy Tan, and humorist Dave Barry, among others.
Along with Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner, Marsh has been involved organizing and maintaining the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. However, Marsh has courted, at times, controversy with his style of maintaining selections and at one time was asked to resign.
Dave Marsh has a Sirius XM Radio show called Kick Out the Jams, airing Sundays on eclectic-rock channel The Loft. (The title references the well-known MC5 album, a record which does not appear in the aforementioned Marsh-edited Rolling Stone Record Guide.)
