Title: Name-dropping 101
Product review: This book is hyped as a history lesson/collection of social observations from the prespective of a record label exec. It is anything but. This book is a collection of chapters with all the same overtone, "Hi, look at me I'm an ex-hippy, that knows every recording artist!"Goldberg's never-ending rant about "culture" is strictly confined to the record industry, and how he has single-handedly changed the country for the better. It is a blazing disappointment that social thought icons lend their recommendation to this book. People like Michael Moore, Chris Matthews, and Cornell West.This book reflects the record industry in more way than one. We've all thoroughly researched a CD, yet when we buy it and it fails to meet our expectations the disc sits on the shelf forever, i.e. Goldberg's book. Keep an eye out for my copy of "Dispatches..." on e-bay!
