Recensioner i media

"The interviews are freewheeling and often very frank...[A]n important--and enjoyable--contribution to the scholarly literature on popular culture and aging."--Library Journal, 15th February 2013 "Fifty-something Bennett's sparkling short study dispenses with nostalgia and looking your age and extends our understanding of youth music subcultures beyond youth. No future? Of course there is!" - Times Higher Education
