Editorial Reviews
Review
“The interviews are freewheeling and often very frank…[A]n important–and enjoyable–contribution to the scholarly literature on popular culture and aging.”–Library Journal, 15th February 2013 “Fifty-something Bennett’s sparkling short study dispenses with nostalgia and looking your age and extends our understanding of youth music subcultures beyond youth. No future? Of course there is!” – Times Higher Education
