Rocking My Life Away represents nearly twenty years of writing by one of the premier critics of popular music in America today. In these pieces from Rolling Stone, the New York Times, and other publications, Anthony DeCurtis reveals his ongoing engagement with rock & roll as artistic forum, source of personal inspiration, and compelling site of cultural struggle. Including significant new work-liner notes commissioned for the Phil Spector box set and a spirited discussion with Peter Buck of R.E.M. about rock criticism, for example-DeCurtis also ventures with insight and power beyond the world of rock & roll. A joint profile of the political writers Neil Sheehan and Taylor Branch and provocative looks at the work of novelists Don DeLillo and T. Coraghessan Boyle round out this eclectic collection.

"ROCKING MY LIFE AWAY is a collection of nearly twenty years of writing by one of the premier critics of popular music in America today. In these pieces from Rolling Stone, The New York Times and other publications, Anthony DeCurtis reveals his ongoing engagement with rock & roll as artistic forum, source of personal inspiration, and compelling site of cultural struggle. Ranging over artists as diverse as Sting, the Wu-Tang Clan, Kurt Cobain and Ice T, this volume also includes significant work that has never before been published---including liner notes commissioned for the Phil Spector box set and a spirited discussion with Peter Buck of R.E.M. about rock criticism as seen from the sometimes congruent, sometimes vastly dissimilar points of view of fans, critics and performers. Viewing all aspects of culture---popular and traditional---as rich subjects of inquiry, DeCurtis also ventures with insight beyond the world of rock & roll. An eyewitness account of the collapse of the Soviet Union, a joint profile of the political writers Neil Sheehan and Taylor Branch, and probing looks at the work of novelists Don DeLillo and T. Coraghessan Boyle round out this eclectic compilation." Attractive, intact jacket on a bright copy, all quite presentable. Nº de ref. del artículo: RUB597
