Carefully explaining this misunderstood genre, \u003ci\u003eThe Twisted Tale of Glam Rock\u003c\/i\u003e explores glam's attraction and the reasons it has endured. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the help of copious examples, the book covers the style from the pre-glam British invasion of 1964-69 through the classical glam era (1970-75); the metamorphosis into glam goth, glam metal, and glam new-romanticism (1976-90); and the style's reemergence (1990-present). It provides a theoretical basis for musicians' attraction to this highly visual and theatrical form of pop music and sets glam in a historical context, following the format through MTV, videos, and vibrant stage and theatre presentations. Finally, the book explores the hybridization of glam with other styles, illustrating how the genre has progressively reemerged as a premier form of performance pop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Lenig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313379866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313379864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 249","brand":"Stuart Lenig","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48152962302207,"sku":"9780313379864","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73ef28c6-95cf-4493-b30e-9a481099aba9.jpg?v=1770780372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-twisted-tale-of-glam-stuart-lenig-9780313379864","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
