Title: Academic who doesn't know a thing
Product review: Really, really bad. Martha Bayles is no Adorno. There are somelegitmate criticisms to be made regarding popular music, but Baylesisn't making them. In reality she is an apologist for vacant popconstructions like Springsteen (read Meltzer for the real lowdown on him) or even Boys II Men (!) and an incoherent reactionary towards anything that may express true dissatifaction with the status quo (punk, early hip-hop). The worst example of how the hippy ethos has degenerated into the most simple-minded neoconservatism. END
