Summary:
"
Los
Angeles
in
1974
exerted more influence over popular culture than any other city in America. Working in film, recording, and
television
studios, a cluster of transformative talents produced an explosion in popular culture which reflected the demographic, social, and cultural realities of a changing America. Popular culture was ahead of
politics
in predicting what America would become. Brownstein traces the confluence of
movies
,
music
,
television
, and
politics
in
Los
Angeles
month by month through that transformative, magical
year
. Today, we are again witnessing a generational cultural divide, and Brownstein shows how the voices resistant to change may win the political battle for a time, but they cannot hold back the future."--adapted from jacket.
