Jon Fine

    Questo autore esamina le crude realtà e gli aspetti inespressi dell'industria musicale, spesso con arguzia tagliente e ironia penetrante. La sua scrittura si addentra nei temi degli ideali perduti e nel panorama in continua evoluzione della cultura popolare. Attraverso la sua voce distintiva, cattura l'essenza della scena musicale indie, i suoi trionfi e i suoi fallimenti. I lettori apprezzeranno la sua capacità di fondere l'esperienza personale con osservazioni culturali più ampie.

      What I Saw at Indie Rock's Failed Revolution (but Can No Longer Hear)

      "Jon Fine spent nearly thirty years performing and recording with bands that played various forms of aggressive and challenging underground rock music, and, as he writes in this memoir, at no point were any of those bands 'ever threatened, even distantly, by actual fame.' Yet when members of his first band, Bitch Magnet, reunited after twenty-one years to tour ... diehard longtime fans traveled from far and wide to attend those shows, despite creeping middle-age obligations of parenthood and 9-to-5 jobs, testament to the remarkable staying power of the indie culture that the bands predating the likes of Bitch Magnet--among them Black Flag, Mission of Burma, and Sonic Youth --willed into existence through sheer determination and a shared disdain for the mediocrity of contemporary popular music"--Amazon.com.
