He asks what role culture plays in shaping identity and why pop continues to thrill gay men. These 40 essays and interviews look at how performers, from The Kinks' Ray Davies to Gene's Martin Rossiter, have used pop as a platform to explore and articulate, conform to or contest notions of sexuality and gender. A defence of cultural differences and an attack on cultural elitism, Seduced and Abandoned is as passionate and provocative as pop itself."--Provided by publisher.Gender Studies: Bloomsbury Academic CollectionsHomosexuality and musicSex in musicGay musiciansBiographyTheologybicsscHomosexualityRelated toMusicHomosexuality and music.Sex in music.Gay musiciansTheology782.4216408664781.64086642Smith Richard1968-1472330OCLCECaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910798678203321Seduced and abandoned3685108UNINA
