In this sequel to 'No One Needs 21 Versions of “Purple Haze,”' Dave Whitaker trots out another collection of music-themed essays, this time as originally featured in the PopMatters.com column “Aural Fixation.” He takes on the Grammys, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Glee, terrestrial radio, Tom Cruise, and the state of the music industry, often voicing a contrary opinion to the all-too-common laments of the typical music critic. Whitaker asserts that rock and roll isn’t dead, that pop music matters, and that best-of lists are a good thing. To help fuel Dave’s aural fixation and maintain proper care and feeding of your own musical obsession, check out DavesMusicDatabase.com.
