Rocking My Life Away represents nearly twenty years of writing by
one of the premier critics of popular music in America today. In
these pieces from Rolling Stone, the New York Times, and other
publications, Anthony DeCurtis reveals his ongoing engagement with
rock & roll as artistic forum, source of personal inspiration,
and compelling site of cultural struggle. Including significant new
work—liner notes commissioned for the Phil Spector box set and a
spirited discussion with Peter Buck of R.E.M. about rock criticism,
for example—DeCurtis also ventures with insight and power beyond
the world of rock & roll. A joint profile of the political
writers Neil Sheehan and Taylor Branch and provocative looks at the
work of novelists Don DeLillo and T. Coraghessan Boyle round out
this eclectic collection.
