Welcome To "Papa
Do Run-
A Baby Boomer Looks (and Laughs) at Vintage
Rock and Roll"
This
autobiographical journey is an altogether hilarious guide to
pop music and pop culture.
Deborah Godin offers a unique look at the birth of not only pop
music, but also pop culture. In these 13 collected essays, the author
spins glorious tales of her teenage years spent in Detroit and croons
a bold ballad about the advent of pop culture across the world.
From the birth of Motown
to the British invasion, this book is a fun ride for those who
understand the joy of having “no particular
place to go”.
Beginning with a timeline of the love story between the author and
music that blossomed in the 1950s and 60s, these essays are filled
with anecdotes that share the finer points of the history of contemporary
music.
With an unconventional
and delightful viewpoint, Godin talks about the “Rock Enigmas” of
her generation as she examines the over-interpretation of music.
