Bubblegum Music Is the Naked Truth: The Dark History of Prepubescent Pop, from the Banana Splits to Britney Spears

Rating:
Summary: Won't Stick To Your Face
Review: Why don't you own this already? Don't you want to know the connections between the Ramones and the Bay City Rollers, or the Beatles and the Backstreet Boys? At times frightening, often hilarious, and always illuminating, this collection of essays is written by people who clearly know music--not just the sub-genre known as Bubblegum Pop--backwards and forwards. This is a smart book, and a must for everyone from music criticism completists to closet Partridge Family fans.
