      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet f8abfb57       PID: OpenXP/5.0.51 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0500       The author of the critically acclaimed Your Favorite Band is        Killing Me offers an eye-opening exploration of the state of        classic rock, its past and future, the impact it has had, and        what its loss would mean to an industry, a culture, and a way        of life.              Since the late 1960s, a legendary cadre of artists-including       the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen,       Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Black Sabbath, and the Who-has       revolutionized popular culture and the sounds of our lives.       While their songs still get airtime and some of these bands       continue to tour, its idols are leaving the stage permanently.              Can classic rock remain relevant as these legends die off, or       will this major musical subculture fade away as many have       before, Steven Hyden asks.              In this mix of personal memoir, criticism, and journalism,       Hyden stands witness as classic rock reaches the precipice.       Traveling to the eclectic places where geriatric rockers are       still making music, he talks to the artists and fans who have       aged with them, explores the ways that classic rock has changed       the culture, investigates the rise and fall of classic rock       radio, and turns to live bootlegs, tell-all rock biographies,       and even the liner notes of rock's greatest masterpieces to       tell the story of what this music meant, and how it will be       remembered, for fans like himself.              Twilight of the Gods is also Hyden's story. Celebrating his       love of this incredible music that has taken him from       adolescence to fatherhood, he ponders two essential questions:       Is it time to give up on his childhood heroes, or can this       music teach him about growing old with his hopes and dreams       intact? And what can we all learn from rock gods and their       music-are they ephemeral or eternal?              Title: Twilight of the Gods: A Journey to the End of Classic        Rock | Paperback              Author: Steven Hyden              Publisher: HarperCollins | Dey Street Books              Music / Genres & Styles - Punk / Genres & Styles - Rock / History & Criticism              Published Mar 19, 2019       --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Got mobile?
