Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. Second printing, 1992. 317pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. 'The text of this book was originally published [as a prize-winning special issue] without index or the present preface as volume 90, number 4 of the South Atlantic Quarterly.' "The most compelling art form to emerge f…rom the United States in the second half of the twentieth century, rock & roll stands in an edgy relationship with its own mythology, its own musicological history and the broader culture in which it plays a part. In PRESENT TENSE, Anthony DeCurtis brings together writers from a wide variety of fields to explore how rock & roll is made, consumed, and experienced in our time. [] In this collection, Greil Marcus creates a collage of words and pictures that evokes and explores Elvis Presley's grisly fate as an American cultural image, while Robert Palmer tells the gripping tale of the origins and meanings of the electric guitar. Rap music, MTV, and the issue of gender identity in the work of Bruce Springsteen all undergo thorough examination; rock & roll's complex relationship with the forces of censorship gets a remarkably fresh reading; and the mainstreaming of rock & roll in the 1980s is detailed and analyzed. And, in an interview with Laurie Anderson and an essay by Atlanta musician Jeff Calder, the artists speak for themselves." [publisher copy] Contributors include Mark Dery, Alan Light, Martha Nell Smith, Robert Ray. "This shit rocks! To wit: Exhibiting a wide range of critical music writing, this collection speaks volumes about how music, and our varied perceptions of it, are intrinsically woven into the social and ideological web of end-of-the-century thought."--Michael Stipe. "This collection is a useful and provocative addition to rock literature. Its collage of forms--scholarship, journalism, interviews, and fiction--allows access to a variety of readers, and provides a diverse forum for addressing the current consciousness about rock."--Andrew Ross. "This collection brings together two of the cultural right's favorite targets--mass culture and high theory--and demonstrates brilliantly how mutually illuminating they can be as a way of understanding the American scene."--Stanley Fish. "This is a smart, witty, ingeniously balanced assortment of rock commentary, with a healthy number of pieces that seem prescient and even moving."--John Rockwell. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, in bright yellow wraps featuring a non-red-face Elvis. Quite presentable.
