About this product
Product Information
The essential playlist of great writing about the music that rocked America, from rockabilly and doo-wop to punk and hip-hop. In Shake It Up, Jonathan Lethem (The Fortress of Solitude) and Kevin Dettmar (Is Rock Dead?) offer a hit parade of the most outspoken and distinctly personal voices from a half century of writing about rock and pop music. Here is Lester Bangs on Elvis Presley, Lenny Kaye on doo wop, Ellen Willis on Janis Joplin, Nick Tosches on Jerry Lee Lewis, Nat Hentoff and Luc Sante on Bob Dylan, Nelson George on Marvin Gaye, Eve Babitz on Jim Morrison, Greg Tate on Kanye West, Jessica Harper on emo, Elijah Wald on The Beatles, and Greil Marcus on Christian Marclay's Guitar Drag. Rock music changed America, and Shake It Up reveals that the generation of writers that grew up with it found ways to write about it that mirrored the music's freedom, homemade inventiveness, and rebellious energy. High culture, pop culture, roots culture, the politics of race and gender, philosophical speculation, poetic exploration, and just plain obsessive enthusiasm all came together in a mix that articulated what had been implicit in the music and certified that rock and roll had both an aesthetic and a social significance that demanded critical response. The scope of rock writing has continued to deepen and widen as the music itself has gone through repeated transformations in the eras of punk and hip hop. In probing the roots of America's most popular music and giving voice to its widest implications and influences, these writers created a critical canon as cutting edge as the music they were writing about.

The book is the book it says it would be, but the cover is a different one than was listed in the description.
While the postage was included, I would advise the seller to be aware that the delivery service they used left the package outside and unprotected with no advice that my package had been delivered except for an email. If it wasn't for a helpful neighbour, I am pretty sure it would not have arrived.
