In high school I was obsessed with the Beat Poets and recognized this author’s name at a library book sale for likely less than 25 cents. This author is an absolute lotus flower - I had no idea that such an ebullient poet could create a ground-breaking work of historical musicology/sociology.

I found myself making connections in things I had never imagined.

This book has been needed for too long, and is necessary curriculum for students young and old. Required reading for anyone who cares about the American people and society, especially in the present. Put this in your library next to A People’s History of the United States and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
