Photo credit: Andrew FrolishWhen Kiefer Sutherland strode onto the stage at Norwich’s Adrian Flux Waterfront, the response from the packed crowd was immediate and thunderous.

Johnny Rogan’s Timeless Flight: The Definitive Biography of the Byrds, first published in 1981, belongs firmly in the latter categoryRogan was a twenty-something and still at Oxford when he completed the original book, and it’s very much the work of youthful enthusiasm. There’s a sense that every detail matters, that no session musician is too peripheral to interview, no contractual dispute too dry to document. I’ve got the 1989 revised edition, and he mentions in the introduction that it was up until that point 13 years’ worth of effort. It remains…
