Reader Reviews:A good resource... for some (1/5 people found this helpful)This book is not for the casual student of popular music. You'll find no cool stories of amazing concerts and no tales of studio high jinx here (well, almost none anyway), and a good biography or fifteen would serve you better for that. This is about analyzing popular music writ large in a deep and profound manner, even about taking a stab at defining popular music as a field of study. The language is fairly academic and the points made seem less than exciting at times. Simply put, this is mainly for college students (especially those involved in musicology) and for those it will be a good resource. Others would be much better off buying something else.
