In \u003ci\u003eMighty Real\u003c\/i\u003e, veteran journalist Barry Walters chronicles its LGBTQ history from the Velvet Underground to the 21st century s dawn as he honors the artists who redefined gender, defied tradition, and dared to challenge sexual norms with the help of a record business that wasn t as straight as commonly believed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on his decades as a New York- and San Francisco-based music critic, Walters examines how LGBTQ musicians, music industry executives, and fans reshaped the mainstream. He connects the dots between David Bowie s dazzling reinventions, Grace Jones s androgynous glamor, Prince s boundary-shattering sexuality, and the radical candor of the Indigo Girls to prove they re all doing the same thing: fighting oppression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith exuberance, insight, and encyclopedic knowledge, Walters brings to life the songs and society that filled dancefloors, bedrooms, and streets as he uncovers yesteryear s coded LGBTQ messages that paved the way for today s unabashedly queer hits. \u003ci\u003eMighty Real\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterful love letter to the music that liberated generations, and it s written in a page-turning, personal way that blurs distinctions between chronicle and memoir. This is the rare and revolutionary music history told to help you laugh, cry, and then rally against lingering inequality.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53943959585106,"sku":"9798217059829","price":33.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_3e726eed-b107-4a2e-b757-082053c730a2.jpg?v=1783418850","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/mighty-real","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
