PART 1: Big Star. I am never bored when they drag out the same-old power pop records. It only makes my problem worse.

Anyway, this (previously publishded) is a good primer on the topic and more of the Big Star story than I have previously read. (Disclosure: I've not read the Radio City 33 1/3 book)

    • PART 2: "How the Beatles Destroyed Rock n' Roll"

    Quoting a friend who sent this today

  • "Kind of cool and definitely not what the crowds are saying — the idea of musician-as-artist-and-now-everyone-can-listen-to-just-what-they-want-and-the-idea-of-a-unified-experience-is-dead has been in the ascendant for so long that it's being taken as gospel."
