Beatleness explains how the band became a source of emotional, intellectual, aesthetic, and spiritual nurturance in fans’ lives, creating a relationship that was historically unique. Looking at that relationship against the backdrop of the sexual revolution, the Vietnam War, political assassinations, and other events of those tumultuous years, the audiobook critically examines the often-heard assertion that the Beatles changed everything.

Story0
Wolfgang Kos erzählt das 20. Jahrhundert in 99 besonderen Liedern. Der historische Scheinwerfer richtet sich auf Zeitstimmungen, Lebensbedingungen und Moden ebenso wie auf kollektive Sehnsüchte, Ängste und neue Ideen, die mittels Songs unter die Leute kamen. In den Songs spiegeln sich Armut und Wohlstand, Konsumträume und Weltschmerz, gesellschaftliche oder Generationskonflikte. Songs "wirken", weil sie emotionale Identifikation bieten und unmittelbarer als andere Kulturmedien ihre Zeit und ihre Welt auf den Punkt bringen.

Story0
At the height of the ideological antagonism of the Cold War, the US State Department unleashed an unexpected tool in its battle against Communism: jazz. From 1956 through the late 1970s, America dispatched its finest jazz musicians to the far corners of the earth, from Iraq to India, from the Congo to the Soviet Union, in order to win the hearts and minds of the Third World and to counter perceptions of American racism.

Story0
Long before the United States had presidents from the world of movies and reality TV, we had scores of politicians with connections to country music. In I'd Fight the World, Peter La Chapelle traces the deep bonds between country music and politics. These performers and politicians both rode and resisted cultural waves: some advocated for the poor and dispossessed, and others voiced religious and racial anger, but they all walked the line between exploiting their celebrity and righteously taking on the world.

Rocking in the Free World explains how Americans came to believe they had learned the truth about rock 'n' roll, a truth shaped by the Cold War anxieties of the fifties, the countercultural revolutions (and counter-revolutions) of the sixties and seventies, and the end-of-history triumphalism of the eighties.
