The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
American culture and politics interwoven through popular music is the subject of Dick Weissman's book, Talkin' Bout a Revolution: Music and Social Change in America (Backbeat Books). From "Johnny Has Gone for a Solider," first heard during the Revolutionary War, through "Miss Destruction," written by the rappers Faithless during the Iraq War, Talkin' Bout a Revolution offers a comprehensive guide to the yearnings, frustrations, commitments, and hopes of many generations of American men and women, including Native Americans, Latinos, and African Americans. Portland-based music historian Dick Weissman, who was also a founding member of the folk trio the Journeymen, speaks, plays and sings some examples here today. This should be fun.
