It is common to hear people say rock and roll music has lost its
edge. Disillusioned by the sound of modern pop radio, many fans
wonder why a revolutionary voice has not yet emerged to define
these tumultuous times the way Bob Dylan, The Clash, and Public
Enemy once did. In many people's minds, rock and roll is dead,
killed off by Britney Spears and an MTV that has taken the music
out of television.
"Rock 'N' Politics" aims to breathe new life into the spirit of
rock and roll. It explains how the virtues of great political
action are present in great rock music. By surveying the
contemporary music scene in chapters about Bruce Springsteen, Green
Day, Bono, Madonna, indie rock, and OutKast, "Rock 'N' Politics"
reveals how rock music recently lost touch with its political
ambitions and explains how musicians and fans can-and must-restore
rock and roll's revolutionary voice.
In an era characterized by lackluster rock music and uninspiring
politics, "Rock 'N' Politics" captures the excitement of
world-changing rock and roll for a generation longing for music
that matters. Written with intelligence and a passion for rock and
roll music from all styles and eras, "Rock 'N' Politics" offers
readers a new perspective on a subject crucial to our times.
