Product Description

Review
"The undercutting of the distinction between classical and rock music is one of the great insights of this book. Miklitsch sees how classical music is not really autonomous in the way that someone that Adorno would claim. It instead, suffers from the same heteronomy that infects rock music. By working to eliminate the barrier between high and low, the author helps to open us up to a whole new way of experiencing the aesthetic, a mode of experiencing that we must adopt in order to exist within contemporary culture."

Synopsis
Moves from Beethoven to Buffy to examine the blurred nexus of elite and popular culture in the twenty-first century.

First Sentence
In 1954, one year before Bill Haley and the Comets' "Rock around the Clock"-what Palmer calls the "original white rock 'n' roll" song-became number one on the pop charts, marking a "turning point in the history of popular music," and one year before Elvis covered Little Junior Parker's "Mystery Train" (then signed, under the self-interested tutelage of Colonel Parker, with RCA), IN 1954-the same year the Supreme Court ruled racial segregation unconstitutional-the nineteen-year-old and still very much alive Elvis Presley walked into the Memphis Recording Service and cut Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's "That's All Right." Read the first page
