Why Music Matters: A Series of Essays on the State of Popular Music Today (Hooks and Harmony Book 1)

What's wrong with today's music? What was so good about the music of previous generations? And how do we try to relay the meaning of melody, harmony, and just plain good music to our kids? In these series of essays from his website Hooks and Harmony (http://hooksandharmony.com), author Peter Lee laments the lack of originality in today's music, reminisces about how music and memory are forever linked, and recounts some of the overlooked bands of the last few years. Funny, poignant and at some times biting, Why Music Matters will educate and raise issues that will have music lovers discussing for a while.
