The B-52s were far more than just a ?tacky dance band.? Their aesthetic was shaped by the radical social and political conditions in Athens, Georgia, and their arrival in New York City profoundly influenced the next several years of music and art to come out of that city. The Story of the B-52s provides a deep critical analysis of the band?s music and original insights into the extraordinary people who made it. Their story, told here in full for the first time, contains all the elements of a great novel?success and failure, tragedy and triumph, life and death. Yet, at the heart of the B-52s music is a love for being alive that verges on the radical. 606 $aPopular music 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aEthnology 606 $aCulture 606 $aPopular Music 606 $aPop and Rock 606 $aQueer Studies 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aRegional Cultural Studies 615 0$aPopular music. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aPopular Music. 615 24$aPop and Rock. 615 24$aQueer Studies. 615 24$aPopular Culture. 615 24$aRegional Cultural Studies. 676 $a782.421640922 676 $a782.421640922 700 $aCreney$b Scott$01355153 701 $aHerron$b Brigette Adair$01355154 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910720094103321 996 $aThe Story of the B-52s$93359249 997 $aUNINA
