Finally! An appreciation of those massively popular blues-influenced songs delivered by deliciously loud guitars celebrating testosteroned teenage freedom. Packing arenas as industry in the West was rusting out, fans celebrated the now with odes to the power and vitality that should have been their future. Freebird! * Deena Weinstein, Professor of Sociology, DePaul University * Booksmart and streetsmart, with a rock & roll heart and keen understanding of class culture, Case crafts a compelling argument tying protest music to social class and aesthetics. Drawing from a wide variety of scholarly and popcult references, Takin' Care of Business is an invaluable resource for music fans, activists, scholars, critics and students to get schooled - and validated. On my Spring reading list already! * Donna Gaines, author of Teenage Wasteland, A Misfit's Manifesto and Why the Ramones Matter *
