I really liked reading this book.
The format is that each chapter explores some sort of pop
music feud, but even Hyden acknowledges that most of these feuds are not real
(you can’t keep score except only in the crassest dollar-denominated way, maybe
awards and influence but no band really goes head to head with another band).
What makes this book is that the nominal structure makes it
so that the author can go off on interesting pop culture tangents.
It is like reading Klosterman fifteen years ago, before he
decided to be…whatever he is now.
