{"product_id":"9780061139024","title":"The Boy Who Cried Freebird : Rock \u0026 Roll Fables and Sonic Storytelling","description":"\u003cp\u003eWedding the American oral storytelling tradition with progressive music journalism, Mitch Myers' The Boy Who Cried Freebird is a treatise on the popular music culture of the twentieth century. Trenchant, insightful, and wonderfully strange, this literary mix-tape is authentic music history . . . except when it isn't. Myers outrageously blends short fiction, straight journalism, comic interludes, memoirs, serious artist profiles, satire, and related fan-boy hokum-including the classic stories he first narrated on NPR's All Things Considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on iconic recordings, events, communities, and individuals, Myers riffs on Deadheads, sixties nostalgia, rock concert decorum, glockenspiels, and all manner of pop phenomena. From tales of rock-and-roll time travel to science fiction revealing Black Sabbath's power to melt space aliens, The Boy Who Cried Freebird is about music, culture, legend, and lore-all to be lovingly passed on to future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49091983016163,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780061139024-1.jpg?v=1788493330","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/ja\/products\/9780061139024","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
