Audio Books →Kick Out the Jams Jibes, Barbs, Tributes, and Rallying Cries from 35 Years of Music Writing [Audiobook]

That passion is evident in a heart-wrenching piece on Cobain's suicide and legacy; a humorous attack on "Bono's bullshit;" an indignant look at James Brown and the FBI; deep, revelatory probes into the work of underappreciated artists like Patty Griffin and Alejandro Escovedo; and inspiring insight into what drives Marsh as a writer, namely "a raging passion to explain things in the hope that others would not be trapped and to keep the way clear so that others from the trashy outskirts of barbarous America still had a place to stand-if not in the culture at large, at least in rock and roll." If you want to explore the recent history of pop music-its politics as well as its performers-Kick Out the Jams is the perfect guidebook.
