A modern Bible for the Popular Culture

Andrew Ross has done a terrific job here, with this in depth fascinating study of the parameters of Popular Culture that touches on so many subjects it is impossible to describe. Here you will find all kinds of explorations that have to do with Jazz, Poetry, Painting, Politics and Rock n' Roll all interconnected by the searing intelligence of Ross, who is able to connect so many disparate subjects and draw valid and penetrating conclusions that will help anyone draw some valid conclusions about the influence of Popular Culture on Highbrow Culture and vice versa in our confusing modern times. Very helpful for anyone interested in Art and Sociology.
