It's pub day for Hound Dog. My 33 book put Axl re Kurt re the decline of rock and rock criticism. This Singles one is Thornton v. Presley (plus "Doggie in the Window" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog") re how the battle fought to extend rock via punk became a debate around inclusion.
Hey all, one final reminder to get me your Oxford Handbook of Pop Music chapter proposals ASAP -- I asked for them by Aug 15. Let me know if you need a brief extension. Email me for the full call.

For the record, I prefer Facebook and only went to Twitter, and now Bluesky, for those friends who disagreed. (And NBA time-outs.) If that subset goes to Threads, so will I, but Facebook remains fine for paragraph-long writing between people actually in my life cohort.
