Dave Marsh Dave Marsh

Dave Marsh has written more than a dozen books about rock and popular music, as well as editing several others. He co-founded Creem, the legendary Motor City rock and roll magazine that helped launch heavy metal, glam and punk, among other styles, and spent five years as an associate and contributing editor of Rolling Stone, where he was chief music critic, columnist and feature writer. In 1969, the nineteen-year-old Marsh dropped out of Detroit's Wayne State University to edit Creem. He departed in 1973 to become Newsday's pop music critic, music editor of The Real Paper, and then joined Rolling Stone as an associate editor. He and several others started Rock and Roll Confidential - later Rock and Rap Confidential - in 1983.

Marsh's first book, Born to Run: The Bruce Springsteen Story (Doubleday) was published in 1979. His other books include Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who, The Heart of Rock and Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made, and Louie Louie: The History and Mythology of the World's Most Famous Rock'n'Roll Song.
