DESCRIPTION:
About the Author Goodwin is a professor at the University of San Francisco.
A Customer said Very Interesting. This book is one of many that I have to read for a class titled 1980's America. I think that the author makes some great arguments and points out a few diffrent connections between MTV and American society. It is very easy to lose interest in the first few chapters but keep going and it will become easier to follow. He goes into depth with various songs and breaks down the actual videos. Definitly an intersting view on the importance of MTV in the 80's. But it is also nice to have some background knowledge on the time period.. Majel Connery said Highly recommend.. This book is dated, but its arguments are airtight and carefully argued. Highly recommend.
