'Young Hearts Run Free' is an antidote to 'I Love the 1970s'; it is
the real story of the 1970s from the critically acclaimed author of
'Manchester, England'. The 1970s is a decade frequently miscast; a
parade of fashion disasters backed by a soundtrack of glam rock or
frothy, mainstream disco. The generation who grew up in the 1970s
remember the decade differently: inflation, strikes, and power
cuts; the rise of the National Front; IRA terror campaigns on the
British mainland; women's liberation; 'Mean Streets'; 'Taxi Driver'
and 'Apocalypse Now'. 'Young Hearts Run Free' tells the story of
the 1970s, celebrating the musicians and songs that illuminated the
ideas, fashions and sexual revolutions of the decade including: the
politicised soul and funk of Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye, the
Punk explosion, New Wave, David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust, gay
disco, the Stooges, Patti Smith, the Raincoats, Cabaret Voltaire,
the Specials, and black British reggae. 'Young Hearts Run Free'
uses in-depth research, drawing not only on interviews with
musicians, writers, and artists but also a wide range of
representatives of the 70s generation. They introduce us to life
and music away from the mainstream: nothing bland, nothing obvious,
definitely not Abba. CHAPTERS Intro: Boogie Wonderland (Earth, Wind
