Celebrated music writer Marc Weingarten offers the first exhaustive survey of pop music’s relationship with television for the past 60 years, from Elvis and Ed Sullivan to James Brown and Soul Train to Madonna and MTV. Entertaining and informative, Station to Station offers a passionate, in-depth perspective on pop culture, television and rock music. It started with DJ-hosted sock-hop broadcasts and led to VJ-hosted music stations such as MTV. Weingarten covers all the important events in this media marriage, including Elvis Presley’s history-making sexy performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, American Bandstand controlling pop-radio charts and soul-inflected rock and psychedelic drug culture influencing children’s programming. | Station To Station by Marc Weingarten, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
