Title: Anybody Can
Product review: Terrific detail, an interesting mix of bands profiled, and one big common theme: get out there and do your thing, write some songs, find your audience, and keep playing. The chapter on Beat Happening underscores this more than any other. An acquired taste to be sure, but once I saw their name on the back cover I knew I had to own a copy of the book, to remind of the time when start-up bands and start-up labels took the music back and blew fresh life into rock. The chapters on The Minutemen and Replacements are excellent. Yes, I do remember where I was when I heard D. Boon died. Readers who enjoy this should check out the DVD about The Minutemen, "We Jam Econo." Nice job, Michael Azerrad. Thanks for putting this together.
