The 1960s saw the nexus of the revolution in popular music by a
post-war generation amid demographic upheavals and seismic shifts
in technology. Over the past two decades, musicians associated with
this period have produced a large amount of important
autobiographical writing. This book situates these works -- in the
forms of formal autobiographies and memoirs, auto-fiction, songs,
and self-fashioned museum exhibitions -- within the context of the
recent expansion of interest in autobiography, disability, and
celebrity studies. It argues that these writings express anxiety
over musical originality and authenticity, and seeks to dispel
their writers' celebrity status and particularly the association
with a lack of seriousness. These works often constitute a
meditation on the nature of postmodern fame within a
celebrity-obsessed culture, and paradoxically they aim to regain
the private self in a public forum.
