Description: The Poetry of Rockby Richard Goldstein. (Bantam Books, NY, 1969, paperback, 147 pages.) As thehippie era of rock’n’roll evolved into the psychedelic era, Goldstein fought backagainst the persistent criticism that the music was lyrically illiterate andinfantile. He collected 71 “typical” lyrics from 1952 to 1968 and offers themup as a new kind of poetry. Each is preceded by a few lines of essay in whichGoldstein explains its importance and its meaning; he also includes a prefaceand introduction that help set out his argument and the cultural background. C’mon,don’t you want to understand the complex message of the vocal sounds to “Get AJob”? This copy is in near-mint condition except for a previous owner’s addresslabel on the title page.
