PAUL WILLIAMS (CRAWDADDY! CREATOR)

'Paul Williams' (born May 19, 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts) created the first US magazine of rock music criticism '' in January of 1966 on the campus of Swarthmore College with the help of some of his fellow science fiction fans (he had previously put out some science fiction fanzines). He left the magazine in 1968, reclaimed the title in 1993, but had to end it in 2003 due to financial difficulties.
He is also the author of more than 25 books, of which the best-known are ''Outlaw Blues'', ''Das Energi'', and ''Bob Dylan, Performing Artist'', the acclaimed three-part series. Williams is a leading authority on the works of musicians Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, and Neil Young, and science fiction writers Philip K. Dick and Theodore Sturgeon. His most recent book is ''The 20th Century's Greatest Hits'' (a "Top 40" list that includes movies, books & other documents [1]).
In 1992 Williams began a relationship with anti-folk co-founder and singer Cindy Lee Berryhill, now his wife. He currently lives in San Diego, California with Berryhill and their son working on his latest book.
