Though American attitudes toward religion changed dramatically
during the 1960s, interest in spirituality itself never diminished.
If we listen closely, Michael Gilmour contends, we can hear an
extensive religious vocabulary in the popular music of the decades
that followed--articulating each generation's spiritual quest, a
yearning for social justice, and the emotional highs of love and
sex.
Probing the lyrical canons of seminal artists including Cat
Stevens, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Joni
Mitchell, Neil Young, U2, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, Madonna, and
Kanye West, Gilmour considers the ways--and reasons why--pop
music's secular poets and prophets adopted religious phrases,
motifs, and sacred texts.
