Description:
In a world dominated by teenagers, it's easy to forget that popular culture once catered to adults. Mark Judge shows that the simultaneous rise of rock and suburbia produced a narcissistic society drained of joy and hope. Yet in the revival of swing dancing, he detects a model for cultural renewal.
-- What can Duke Ellington teach us about life?
-- Why are suburbs pits of despair?
-- How is rock 'n' roll conformist?
