For nearly thirty years; Greil Marcus has written a remarkable column called ldquo;Real Life Rock Top Ten.rdquo; It has been a laboratory where he has fearlessly explored and wittily dissected an enormous variety of cultural artifacts; from songs to books to movies to advertisements. Taken together; his musings; reflections; and sallies amount to a subtle and implicit theory of how cultural objects fall through time and circumstance and often deliver unintended consequences; both in the present and in the future. Real Life Rock reveals the critic in full: direct; erudite; funny; fierce; vivid; uninhibited; and possessing an unerring instinct for art and fraud. The result is an indispensable volume packed with startling arguments and casual brilliance.
