Can’t Buy Me Love : The Beatles, Britain, And America

    Jonathan Gould

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Harmony Books, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    Nearly twenty years in the making, Can?t Buy Me Love is a masterful work of group biography, cultural history, and musical criticism. Most significantly, by chronicling their revolutionary impact on popular culture during the 1960s, Can?t Buy Me Love illuminates the Beatles as a charismatic phenomenon of international proportions, whose anarchic energy and unexpected import was derived from the historic shifts in fortune that transformed the relationship between Britain and America in the decades after World War II. Beautifully written, consistently insightful, and utterly original, Can?t Buy Me Love is a landmark work about the Beatles, Britain, and America. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

  • Description

    by Andy Warhol in 1966, the VU-with their original line-up of Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Mo Tucker-would soon become the house band of the avant-garde, composing songs simultaneously furious in their abrasiveness and beautiful in their pathos, standing in striking contrast to the prevailing flower power of the era.With such a notorious pedigree, it?s only natural that the story of the VU has become shrouded in myth and hyperbole.

    Glenn C. Altschuler

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2003

  • Description

    The birth of rock ‘n roll ignited a firestorm of controversy–one critic called it “musical riots put to a switchblade beat”–but if it generated much sound and fury, what, if anything, did it signify? Altschuler includes vivid biographical sketches of the great rock ‘n rollers, including Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly–plus their white-bread doppelgangers such as Pat Boone.
