Deborah Godin offers a unique look at the birth of not only pop music, but also pop culture. In these 13 collected essays, the author spins glorious tales of her teenage years spent in Detroit and croons a bold ballad about the advent of pop culture across the world.
From the birth of Motown to the British invasion, this book is a fun ride for those who understand the joy of having “no particular place to go”.
Beginning with a timeline of the love story between the author and music that blossomed in the 1950s and 60s, these essays are filled with anecdotes that share the finer points of the history of contemporary music.
With an unconventional and delightful viewpoint, Godin talks about the “Rock Enigmas” of her generation as she examines the over-interpretation of music.
