Very Interesting,
By "starsgt" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dancing in the Distraction Factory: Music Television and Popular Culture (Paperback)
This book is one of many that I have to read for a class titled 1980's America. I think that the author makes some great arguments and points out a few diffrent connections between MTV and American society. It is very easy to lose interest in the first few chapters but keep going and it will become easier to follow. He goes into depth with various songs and breaks down the actual videos. Definitly an intersting view on the importance of MTV in the 80's. But it is also nice to have some background knowledge on the time period.
