Genesis and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series)
In 1974, the British progressive rock group Genesis released their double concept album “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”, now widely regarded as a classic album of 1970s progressive rock. The story was described by Genesis’ then front-man Peter Gabriel as a ‘moral fable’ about a half-Puerto-Rican street tough from New York City named Rael, who is engulfed by a solid cloud into a series of strange adventures in a metaphysical realm. This album has inspired nearly fanatical devotion among progressive rock fans, some of whom have constructed elaborate web sites purporting to ‘explain’ “The Lamb”. The album is a surreal allegory drawing its material from religious, literary and psychological themes. More than thirty years after its release, “Th

Soccer and Philosophy: Beautiful Thoughts on the Beautiful Game (Popular Culture and Philosophy)
This collection of incisive articles gives a leading team of international philosophers a free kick toward exploring the complex and often hidden contours of the world of soccer.

From the ethics of refereeing to the metaphysics of bent (like Beckham) space-time, this book shows soccer fans and philosophy buffs alike new ways to appreciate and understand the world’s favorite sport.

The Beatles, Boy George, and Susan Boyle: An historical-interpretive approach to three British “invasions” of American popular music from 1964 to 2009.
The Beatles, Boy George, and Susan Boyle: An historical-interpretive approach to three British “invasions” of American popular music from 1964 to 2009.
From 2006 to 2009, British popular music flourished in America, prompting some in the British and American media to declare this as the “third” British Invasion. In order to evaluate this assertion, this latest cycle of success was compared to the two previous British popular music invasions of the 1960s and 1980s. As there has been little scholarship devoted to understanding this more recent period, the purpose of this study was to establish how significant this latest era of British popular music success has been and in what ways its characteristics are similar to or different from the two previous British Invasions. This was partly achieved by comparing the more recent cycle of success with previous cycles through examination of both pri

Disco Divas: Women and Popular Culture in the 1970s
Wedged between the idealism and activism of the 1960s and the avarice of the 1980s, the 1970s tend to be allocated a slender role in American cultural and social history. Only now have scholars begun to examine the suspect decade—perhaps in part because it has seemed too close, at least for many who lived through it, and in part because cultural critics have rendered it synonymous with cultural stagnation and overall frivolity. Ironically, in everything from retro fashion to interior design to music, American culture today is heavily influenced by this decade so routinely scorned by the academy. Proceeding from the idea that the preoccupation with nostalgia veils the decade’s true cultural significance, the essays in Disco Divas reveal th

- Over 2,000 Popular Music Facts Covering Every Day of the Year by Jay Warner
- Author: Jay Warner
The dictionary defines trivia as: “matter or things of very slight importance, commonplace, or ordinary.” Yet anyone who has ever read anything about a favorite sports star, singer, historic figure or celebrity will find that it is often the so-called trivia that makes things memorable about that person or event. Nowhere is this more apparent than in this book. Add the context of the progression of hundreds of parallel lives through the timeline of a pseudo calendar format and it becomes anything but commonplace. This is especially intriguing when coupled with music history. Over 2,000 entries are listed in chronological order, covering every day of the year.
