Synopsis

Mikal Gilmore's twenty-year career writing about rock and roll is celebrated in this collection of cultural criticism, interviews, reviews, and musings. Tracing the genre from Elvis's birth to the seismic shifts in American youth culture, Gilmore explores the voices of unrest in Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison, the rise and fall of punk, and the complexities of artists like Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson. This book offers an inimitable lens on four decades of American life through the powerful expressions of love, soul, politics, and redemption found in music.
