How the Left Lost Teen Spirit: (And How They're Getting It Back!) - Paperback

by Danny Goldberg (Author)

"Danny Goldberg's memoir contains the powerful reflections of the most progressive activist in the recording industry. His candor, vision and sense of humor is infectious." --Cornel West

"If Lester Bangs and Maureen Dowd had a love child, he'd have written this book." --Arianna Hufflington

When did American government become the enemy of American pop culture?

Music insider and progressive activist Danny Goldberg has spent decades tuning in to the rhythms and voices that speak straight to the hearts and desires of America's youth. In that time, one fact has become increasingly clear: Our venerable political leaders are too often tone deaf. In this startling, provocative book, Goldberg shows how today's professional public servants have managed to achieve nothing less than the indefensible, wholesale alienation of an entire generation.
