Revolt Into Style: The Pop Arts'The first serious attempt to analyse pop culture by someone who was part of it.' Julian Mitchell, "Guardian" The redoubtable GeorgeMelly (1926-2007): flamboyant jazz singer, sexually ambiguous raconteur, prodigiously gifted critic. In the early sixties, at the birth of what we now recognise as the pop revolution, Mellybegan work as a broadsheet journalist, commenting upon this new cultural phenomenon.Revoltinto Style (1970) is his first-hand account of those turbulent and exciting years when all things creative - whether music, fashion, film, art or literature - were changed utterly. Central to the book are The Beatles - the epitome of the swinging sixties - who charted the decade's changes and about whose significance the Liverpudlian Melly had a special feel and insight. Alongside the Fab Four is a large cast of movers and shakers, of wannabes and taste-makers, all dissected by Melly's surgical mind. |
