This is a fascinating collection of interviews with one of America's most influential authors, music journalists, and cultural critics. For more than four decades, Greil Marcus has explored the connections among figures, sounds, and events in culture, relating unrelated points of departure, mapping alternate histories and surprising correspondences. He is a unique and influential voice in American letters. In 1969 he published his first piece, a review of "Magic Bus: The Who on Tour", in "Rolling Stone", where he became the magazine's first records editor. Renowned for his ongoing "Real Life Top Ten" column, Marcus has been a writer for a number of magazines and websites and is the author and editor of over fifteen books. His critique is egalitarian - no figure, object, or event is too high, low, celebrated, or obscure for an inquiry into the ways in which our lives can open outward, often unexpectedly.
