Book Description

Continuum Publishing Group, 2008. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Thomson, a music journalist and author, documents references to death, disease, murder, suicide and natural disasters in popular songs, showing how these occasionally lurid themes reflect upon our attitudes about morality and how these attitudes change when we become older. Using interviews with such people as Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Ice T and Richard Thompson, the author explores our darker sides and why we continue to celebrate these morbid subjects through the years. Written for general audiences, this book concludes with a list of the 40 Greatest Death Records of All Time. (© Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
