Live Fast, Die Young, or Get Off the Stage

By Judy Berman

Why wouldn't they burn out instead of fade away? Berman examines the sad spectacle of punk-rock reunions and shows how they destroy the two elements that actually made punk attractive: sex appeal and impermanence. [3 April 2008]

Reviews

The Shape of Things to Come by Greil Marcus

By Erika Nanes

Convinced as I was by Marcus' readings, I couldn't help noticing that the primary subjects of all four chapters were works produced by white men: Philip Roth, David Lynch, Bill Pullmanm and David Thomas. [14 February 2008]

Like a Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan at the Crossroads by Greil Marcus

By Justin Cober-Lake

Like a Rolling Stone is not great cultural analysis or musical study, but it's a work that's both insightful and fantastic. [20 May 2005]
