The Grammar Of Rock by Alexander Theroux
National Book Award nominee, critic and one of America's least compromising satirists, Alexander Theroux takes a comprehensive look at the colourful language of pop lyrics and the realm of rock music in general in The Grammar of Rock: silly song titles; maddening instruments; shrieking divas; clunker lines; the worst (and best) songs ever written; geniuses of the art; movie stars who should never have raised their voice in song but who were too shameless to refuse a mic and the excess of awful Christmas recordings.Laura Warholic or, The Sexual Intellectual, Estonia, and the two artist monographs The Strange Case of Edward Gorey and The Enigma of Al Capp are among the works of Alexander Theroux, an award-winning novelist, poet, and teacher whose prose works include Laura Warholic or, The Sexual Intellectual, Estonia, and the two artist monographs The Strange Case of Edward Gorey and The Enigma of Al Capp. Anthony Burgess named his novel Darconville's Cat as one of the 99 best postwar novels. With his wife and children, he resides in Massachusetts.
