“WELCOME TO WOODSTOCK 99: AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE THERE’S JUST SHIT EVERYWHERE.”
I found my favorite Woodstock video while researching a piece for BOOKFORUM, and thinking a lot about Rage Against the Machine.
I reviewed Dorian Lynskey’s new book 33 Revolutions Per Minute: A History of Protest Songs, from Billie Holiday to Green Day and David Stowe’s study No Sympathy for the Devil: Christian Pop Music and the Transformation of American Evangelicalism. I talk about Limp Bizkit, Rage, Carl Bean, Chic, Jesus freaks, and Dylan.
