Mar 8, 2008
By Barbara, San Francisco, CA

"The sensational title is a little misleading. The book is more about class and the economic factors surrounding the emergence of rock 'n' roll. That said, the analysis is interesting. It reads like a PhD thesis -- repetitive and dryer than it needs to be. The author is a historian; thankfully, he does not write in the "high academese" that is common to some other disciplines."

"It was good, but a little repetitive at times. The author gives great insight into how popular culture of the time really was and how it effected the people who experienced it. He also makes an excellent argument for the inclusion of popular culture as a legitimate factor in understanding history that historians often neglect. I definitely recommend it for that reason alone. If you are an Elvis fan, this may be a little too comprehensive for your taste."
