The Sex Revolts: Gender, Rebellion, and Rock'N'Roll

The Sex Revolts is a book for those who don't just love rock music, but who also love to think about it. The book's subtitle, "Gender, Rebellion, and Rock 'n' Roll" might seem to presage solemn windiness. Yet the book is trenchantly written, well-researched (complete with footnotes and a helpful bibliography) and covers a very wide array of musicians. Best of all, the book is an entertaining way to bring yourself up to speed on many of rock's current upstarts.
