The book delves into the vibrant GLAM movement that emerged in the wake of the sixties, highlighting its impact on music and culture across the Atlantic. It features iconic artists like Bowie, Bolan, and Alice Cooper, examining the era's distinctive sounds, flamboyant styles, and gender-fluid politics. Reynolds not only traces the evolution of glam through the early seventies but also connects its legacy to contemporary influences in hip hop and pop, including Lady Gaga and the cultural reverberations following David Bowie's death.
