Since it's out of print, you should find it pretty cheap used but you can also scoop it up for less than ten dollars. If you're a big music fan for the sake of its impact on American culture, don't wait for the summer reading list - go by it now. This was one of those books that I picked up to escape from the world. Cultural analysis and parallel - imagine reading about Dylan's three phases as an artist in the Sixties being compared to Picasso's blue, cubist and postmodern eras? Hope you're doing well.

I will try to get that book for my summer reading. I hope your class on the history of Rock-n-Roll is going well. Paul, Thanks for responding to my question on your blog.

I'll get the book at school Monday. It's sadly not revised since 1984 but covering the postwar era to the early '80s, it's the most amazing piece of scholarly writing on rock history I've ever had. It totally changed my life and I can't tell you the number of times I've read the dumb thing. I've probably read certain chapters at least ten or so times. A wonderful tome. Anthony -
