From Bookmarks Magazine
Revisiting original sources to understand how music has been received over the past century, Wald neatly traces the evolution of popular music. As with many books that set out to prove sensational claims in the title (the Christian Science Monitor calls the book’s tag “blatantly disingenuous”), Wald’s work doesn’t really deliver on its claim (or, in fact, pay it a great deal of attention). But look past the title, and readers will discover that even when he’s not being provocative, Wald can be thought-provoking, as in his profiles of lesser-known musicians and their influence on subsequent generations of musicians. Those pieces complement more mainstream — and, in Wald’s hands, refreshingly honest — discussions of superstars and issues of race and gender. The result, despite the Los Angeles Times’s sharp criticism of the thesis, is both passionate and informative.

![Cop Out (Rock Out with Your Glock Out Edition) [Blu-ray]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51qWmg0TllL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
Amazon.com
Fan-favorite filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) directs the first movie he didn’t write himself: Cop Out, starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan (30 Rock) as mismatched cops. When a bust goes wrong, they get suspended, forcing Willis to sell a treasured baseball card in order to pay for his daughter’s wedding. But while selling the card, it gets stolen, sending the pair on a wild chase featuring a parkour-loving housebreaker, a hot Latina trapped in the trunk of a Mercedes-Benz, a 10-year-old car thief, and a lot of other goofiness. It’s hard to believe that Smith didn’t have a hand in the writing, as the comedy has all of his loose, ramshackle habits (and his reliance on jokes about poop and male genitalia)–though much of it also has the feel of being improvised by Willis and Morgan. Cop Out wants to mock buddy-cop movies, but it also wants to be a buddy-cop movie; these conflicting impulses are never harmonized, so the whole movie feels out of tun (more…)
