This Ain't the Summer of Love: Conflict and Crossover in Heavy Metal and Punk Paperback - 2009
by Steve Waksman
From the rear cover
"Waksman brings a new understanding to familiar material by treating it in an original and stimulating manner. This book tells 'the other side of the story.'"--Philip Auslander, author of Performing Glam Rock: Gender and Theatricality in Popular Music
"While there are a number of histories of punk and metal and numerous biographies of important bands within each genre, there is no comparable book to This Ain't the Summer of Love. The ultimate contribution the book makes is to provoke the reader into rethinking the ongoing fluid relationship between punk, a music that enjoyed considerable critical support, and metal, a music that has been systematically denigrated by critics. This book is the product of superior scholarship; it truly breaks fresh ground and as such it is an important book that will be regularly cited in future work."--Rob Bowman, Professor of Music at York University and author of Soulsville USA: The Story of Stax Records
"Debunking simplistic assumptions that punk rebelled and heavy metal conformed, Steve Waksman demonstrates with precisely chosen examples that for decades the two shared strategies and concerns. As a result, this important volume is among the first to extend to rock history the same much-needed revisionism that elsewhere has transformed our understanding of minstrelsy, blues, country music, and pop."--Eric Weisbard, author of Use Your Illusion I & II
