1977 / 1984

Andrew S. Guthrie

4.9/5 (14314 ratings)

Description:1977 / 1984 delineates those two years (and the span between them) by way of an American music lover and music (or noise) maker’s memories. Lifting off in the mid 1970s when it becomes clear that the tenor of the times had shifted from the over-whelming cultural influences of the 1960s, the text recounts recordings, technologies and attitudes particular to those years, in a memoir that is both personal and historical.Excerpt:“Two sevens had clashed; whether by coincidence or prophecy the numbers added up. Albums and singles turned to talismans; all the Jamaican albums that distinguished my taste along with tag- a-long AM radio hits: Two Sevens Clash by Culture or “I’m Your Boogie Man” by KC and the Sunshine Band.""Time passes quickly, quicker than you will ever be able to account for. Far off in the distance, obscure and musty titles are proudly presented by mere bones, your long gone ancestors. What is it that prevents you from connecting the dots? Your recent past? Certainly those ancestors had no idea of what would come next.”“You take the numbers that flash before your eyes, fall at your feet, and extrapolate meaning. You force the equation into something steadier than luck but still close to make believe. Were you looking for that book that you came across in the vast stacks of a public library, or did it find you? The title gains speed while yet hovering over the precise moment. It makes us wary of the future, even if the forecast came true long before the numbers coincide. For the most part, we were flummoxed that we now inhabited the select date of the past’s future: 1984."Available at: https://www.likink.com/product/1977-1...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
