Ugh, this was painful to get through. The anecdotes were weak-sauce and the narrator was god-awful... reminded me of a low-rent Casey Kasem. Not insightful and grating all the while. Would have been less painful to check the Wikipedia pages for each of the songs. Also I disagree on the songs selected... That Elvis Costello song was terrible and same with the Stevie Wonder and many others. Disproprotionate amount of time spent on songs by artists the author interviewed in person (which you would think would be time well spent but this book is just not good...the anecdotes for even these songs were bad). Droll and surfacey. It's too bad... couldn't find many other titles like this one. Wish it had been better.
