Title: Don't face it, just enjoy it!
Review: I've always found that intellectual analyses of primarily non-intellectual subjects (like popular music) look completely ridiculous. And nothing has changed here. What mysterious impulse leads writers to mull over and complicate what was originally simple and primal?They want to tag every song and every album with a sub-genre, a sociological explanation, and a historical context, and to imbue deep and profound meaning where none may have been intended.One sentence from the book will serve to indicate its pointlessness. "But how Madonna survives into the nineties remains to be seen." Firstly, why did the writer bother to speculate? Why did it matter to her? And secondly, what does its lack of foresight say about everything else she wrote?
