From Green Day and co-authored and illustrated by artist Frank Caruso comes a timely, inspiring illustrated rendition of the Grammy winning band's classic hit "Last of the American Girls"--the song Rolling Stone&nbsp;called "a fabulous left-wing love song to a rebel girl . . . when Armstrong sings, 'she won't cooperate,' he's giving her the highest compliment he can imagine." One of the most important and influential artists of their generation, the high-energy rock band Green Day has continued to inspire millions of fans worldwide with their music, political views, and iconoclastic conviction. Now, they&nbsp;transform their Billboard hit "Last of the American Girls" into a full-color illustrated book of the song's lyrics. She's a runaway of the establishment incorporated She won't cooperate She will come in first For the end of western civilization She's a natural disaster She's the last of the American girls Since they exploded in the culture in 1994, Green Day has continued to surprise and energize its fans through the evolution of its music, songwriting, and artistic ambition. The band has long been ahead of its time, and "Last of the American Girls" is a testament to their vision. Released in 2010, the song about a spirited nonconformist young woman named Gloria embodies today's cultural zeitgeist and is a salute and tribute to female empowerment and individuality.&nbsp;Celebrating true rebel girls--girls who push back, girls who use their voice, girls who say no--Last of the American Girls takes on both the establishment and the upwardly mobile, espousing an infectious spirit that has never been more relevant.

Outlaw Pete is a modern legend of a criminal who starts out in diapers and confronts the roughest edges of adulthood. It’s one of the most ambitious and original story songs Springsteen has written. When Bruce Springsteen was a little boy, he learned the story of Brave Cowboy Bill, about a pure-hearted little cowboy. It was the first of Bruce’s Western loves, which now range from John Ford movies to Mexican music to Native American art. Each of these inspirations, plus what he’s learned as a man and a rock ’n’ roller about how to combine whimsy and wisdom, were stations on the way to Outlaw Pete, a modern legend of a criminal who starts out in diapers and confronts the roughest edges of adulthood. It’s one of the most ambitious and original story songs Springsteen has written—rhapsodic and harsh, a meditation on destiny, filled with absurdities but not for one second of its eight minutes exactly a joke. It’s an elaborate musical drama, weaving into a single tapestry several styles of rock and an orchestration reminiscent of a Morricone soundtrack. Outlaw Pete is an adult book, illustrated by Frank Caruso, who drew and painted its pages. Caruso does more than illustrate the song. His approach, immaculately detailed, simple when it needs to be, parallels Springsteen’s blend of absurdity and meditation. The questions about destiny remain unanswered, as they must be, but they’re also brought into a different kind of focus. Details that pass by almost unnoticed in the lyrics become central. Reading and listening have rarely so superbly complemented each other. The result becomes the most intense kind of artistic collaboration, a vision shared. But I’m not trying to start anything, so buy it, don’t steal it, OK? —Dave Marsh

Teens, according to our recent survey, wish their parents knew:\n“You can’t pause online games”; “TikTok”; “that not every song is about sex and drugs”; “K-pop”; and “that it is different from when they were teenagers!”\nThe Plugged-In Parent Almanac is the one volume parents need to better understand the pop culture that consumes tweens’ and teens’ attention in 2022.\nPop culture makers both feed teens’ need for discovery and independence as well as transform that need into massive commercial opportunities. Ever since Elvis and the Beatles (...and as far back as Sherlock Holmes), what young people like, and why young people like it, has been a source of friction between the generations.\nIn today’s increasingly fractured pop culture landscape, there is an even larger generational divide. Parents don’t get the chance to express admiration or dismay about the newest celebrity. Rather, parents are frequently just clueless—left mystified or out of the loop all together.\nThe Plugged-In Parent Almanac—full of information about popular entertainment genres, from music, movies and series, and books to social media and fashion, as well as the top performers and influencers—will help parents better connect with their tweens and teens this year.\nAnd to help parents make sense of it all, The Plugged-In Parent Almanac features expert essays, including “How Does Something Become Popular,” “Talking about Media Use,” “What to Watch on TV with Your Teen,” “A Teenager’s Guide to Sneaker Culture,” and “A Parent’s Guide to Fan Fiction.”\nThe Plugged-In Parent Almanac also includes the results of a survey of teens from across the country about their passions, hopes, and ambitions, and an inventory of the costs of raising a teenager.\nExpert contributors to The Plugged-In Parent Almanacinclude Eric Deggans, National Public Radio’s TV critic; Drs. Carrie James and Emily Weinstein of the Harvard Graduate School of Education; Cannes Lion winner Nick Braccia; and University of Southern California Professor Henry Jenkins.\nThe Plugged-In Parent Almanac is edited by Fanologist Meredith Levine and Emmy Award–winning media executive Dan Solomon.
