520 1 $a"How does music infiltrate your life and shape the way you remember it? What do you really hear when you listen, for perhaps the thousandth time, to a well-loved song, a song inextricably tied to who you are and where you've been?" "Geoffrey O'Brien - whom Luc Sante has called "a school unto himself" - has written a history of pop music from the listener's side. Part memoir, part meditation on how music can be part of a personal mythology, this wide-ranging book is as diverse, eclectic, and satisfying as the music itself. Sonata for Jukebox is a mix tape including Tin Pan Alley and Western Swing, ska and soca, surf music, movie themes and radio jingles, Burt Bacharach and Smokey Robinson, Dock Boggs, the Shirelles, and the Beach Boys: a free-floating archive of shared sounds that has become, in the age of recording, almost physically part of us. Drawing on memories of a family steeped in music - a grandfather's Depression-era dance band, a father's radio career as a Top 40 DJ, a brother's early forays as a rock drummer - O'Brien interweaves his personal story with this public soundtrack, tracing the many ways in which music becomes a gateway to private worlds." "From one of our most original essayists and critics, Sonata for Jukebox, with its dizzying array of musical references, its heartrending personal stories, and its vivid evocation of half a century of pop music's evolution, is a remarkable exploration of how people use music to understand and give cadence to their lives."--BOOK JACKET.
