520 a| This book is an important investigation of the music that more than any other has defined our century.

From a careful examination of the roles of addictions and female sexuality in the remakings of Courtney Love and Madonna, to the politics of George Clinton's uses and abuses of language, to the referencing of Elvis Costello in two recent novels and the use of 1970s rock in recent film soundtracks, these essays are as varied as the artists they consider. Arguing that from its inception rock and roll has exhibited the self-consciousness and irony characteristic of other postmodern art forms, the writings featured in this book regularly call attention to the allusiveness and intertextuality of rock and roll, whether it is Kurt Cobain undermining the Beatles, M.
