Pop music's a simple pleasure. Is it catchy? Can you dance to it?
Do you fancy the singer? But what's fascinating about pop is our
relationship with it. David Hepworth is interested in the human
side of pop. He's interested in how people make the stuff and, more
importantly, what it means to us. In this collection of essays
written throughout his career, Hepworth shows how it is possible to
take music seriously and, at the same time, not drain the life out
of it. From the legacy of the Beatles to the dramatic decline of
the record shop via the bewildering nomenclature of musical genres;
with characteristic insight and humour Hepworth asks some essential
questions about music and, indeed, life: is it all about the
drummer; are band managers misunderstood; and is it appropriate to
play 'Angels' at funerals? As Pope John Paul II said 'of all the
unimportant things, football is the most important'. David Hepworth
believes the same to be true of music and this selection of his
best writing, covering the music of last fifty years, shows you
precisely why.
