More about the book
Charting the decline of a generation of rock icons, this book explores the transformation of legendary bands like the Rolling Stones and The Who from revolutionary artists to figures of nostalgia. It critiques the irony of middle-aged punk rockers who once sought to change the world now engaging in reunion tours, ultimately labeling their music as a parody of its former self. Through lively commentary, it captures the complexities of aging within the music industry and the cultural shifts that accompany it.
