오늘날 팝차트를 차지하고 있는 다양한 음악장르의 원형이 본격적으로 다듬어지기 시작했던 특정 장소와 특정 시대를 들자면 뉴욕의
1970년대를 빼놓을 수 없을 것이다. Talking Heads의 싱글 제목에서 따온 Love Goes to Buildings
on Fire: Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever라는 제목의 책은
1973년부터 1977년까지의 뉴욕 음악씬을 다루고 있다.
Love Goes to Buildings on Fire is the first book to tell
the full story of the era’s music scenes and the phenomenal and
surprising ways they intersected. From New Year’s Day 1973 to New Year’s
Eve 1977, the book moves panoramically from post-Dylan Greenwich
Village, to the arson-scarred South Bronx barrios where salsa and
hip-hop were created, to the Lower Manhattan lofts where jazz and
classical music were reimagined, to ramshackle clubs like CBGBs and The
Gallery, where rock and dance music were hot-wired for a new
generation.(from)
