It’s not a bad book. I’ll admit that I skipped a lot of the 1800’s. But the early 1900’s were interesting. However it really got botched around the 80’s and 90’s. First of all, they seemed really wedged in at the end. The author didn’t seem to really get those eras. MTV was barely mentioned, nor was the influx of teen movies, music or TV shows. Most of the things talked about for the 80’s were for the older generations. He spends a great deal of time talking about talk shows, and radio. And a ton on country music. And comics. Lots of talk about comics.
Oddly enough, he mentions horror in the 90’s but not the 80’s where they had a huge resurgence. He calls Silence of the Lambs a “slasher” movie. Shows like Seinfeld, 90210 and Friends were not even mentioned. Instead, he talked about who owned with news station. Which, IMO, isn’t really pop culture.
The narration wasn’t bad. There were a few times sentences were repeated, and a few mispronounced words.
Probably better suited for listeners at least in their 50’s.
