Summary of Tom Beaujour & Richard Bienstock's Nöthin' But a Good Time
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Hard rock has always had a core audience that sustains it through times when the mainstream is occupied elsewhere. The period at the tail end of the 1970s was one of these troughs in popularity for the genre. #2 The Starwood was a club in Hollywood that was frequented by rock stars. It was a completely different vibe than the Hot 100 Club, which was upstairs. The behind-the-scenes stories were wild, and drugs were rampant. #3 Van Halen were an oddity in the music scene in Los Angeles. They were a house band at the Starwood, but their clientele was mostly college kids. #4 The Boyz were a local Los Angeles band that were struggling to get noticed. They were similar to Van Halen in their bombastic attitude and lack of refinement. They would often play shows with Van Halen.
Nöthin' But a Good Time
Soon to be a Paramount+ exclusive docuseries!

Hard rock in the 1980s was a hedonistic and often intensely creative wellspring of escapism that perfectly encapsulated—and maybe even helped to define—a spectacularly over-the-top decade. Indeed, fist-pumping hits like Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” Mötl...

She's a Badass
Feminism has always been a complex and controversial topic, as female rock musicians know especially well. When they’ve stayed true to their own vision, these artists have alternately been adored as role models or denounced as bad influences. Either way, they’re asked to cope with certain pressures that their male counterparts haven’t faced. With each successive feminism movement since the 1960s, women in rock have been prominent proponents of progress as they’ve increasingly taken control of their own music, message, and image. This, in its way, is just as revolutionary as any protest demonstration. In She’s a Badass, music journalist Katherine Yeske Taylor interviews twenty signi...
Religion of Fear
Conservative evangelicalism has transformed American politics, disseminating a sometimes fearful message not just through conventional channels, but through subcultures and alternate modes of communication. Within this world is a "Religion of Fear," a critical impulse that dramatizes cultural and political conflicts and issues in frightening ways that serve to contrast "orthodox" behaviors and beliefs with those linked to darkness, fear, and demonology. Jason Bivins offers close examinations of several popular evangelical cultural creations including the Left Behind novels, church-sponsored Halloween "Hell Houses," sensational comic books, especially those disseminated by Jack Chick, and ant...
