Böcker av David Stubbs

An examination of why modern art can be easier to appreciate than modern music.

A history of the great British comedy tradition of the twentieth century to the present day.

Each of Jimi Hendrix's recorded songs is explored, dissected and celebrated.

1996 And The End of History examines the year as it panned out in the UK not just in politics but in music, light entertainment and sport. It was the zenith of a decade which will go down as remarkably untroubled bymodern standards; following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, prior to 9/11, in which political conditions of peace and apparent economic prosperity created an overall mood of frivolity, postmodern anti-seriousness and a desire to get back to sunnier times before the grim onset of the strife-ridden 70's and 80's.
