Book synopsis

"Rocking My Life Away" represents nearly twenty years of writing by one of the premier critics of popular music in America today. In these pieces from "Rolling Stone", "The New York Times", and other publications, Anthony DeCurtis reveals his ongoing engagement with rock & roll as artistic forum, source of personal inspiration, and compelling site of cultural struggle. Including significant new work-liner notes commissioned for the Phil Spector box set, and a spirited discussion with Peter Buck of R.E.M. about rock criticism, for example-DeCurtis also ventures with insight and power beyond the world of rock & roll. A joint profile of the political writers, Neil Sheehan and Taylor Branch, and provocative looks at the work of novelists Don DeLillo and T. Coraghessan Boyle round out this eclectic collection.
