| C’mon Everybody: Will Music Bring Us Together?
Gewen, Barry
Dissent, Winter 2008, online edition
In his new book "The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century," Alex Ross looks at twentieth century music from the perspective of an advocate of modern music in the classical tradition, arguing that audiences are only now catching on to the splendors of modern music. Gewen counters these arguments with a slightly different view of cultural globalization, looking at modern music through the focus of the aesthetics of rock music.
