    Better Hang on to Yourself
  

*by Z***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2006*

Although I've only recently begun to read up on performance studies, it seems to me that Auslander has chosen a particularly illustrative case study in glam rock.  Within a genre so explicitly focused on the construction and performance of identity, it's actually a bit surprising that this book hadn't already been written.While Auslander comes from the performance studies tradition, Performing Glam Rock also serves as a great overview of the genre. The book includes a great deal of history, making it a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the genre.  The big guns are profiled in depth to illustrate the glam's traits: Bolan (style), Bowie (theatricality), Roxy Music (gender) and Suzi Quatro (more gender, specifically female masculinity).Overall, an accessible and compelling read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Most impressed -- When is the digital copy available?
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017*

I was impressed with this highly nuanced treatment of an often neglected genre. What would make this book even more perfect would be the release of a digital copy.

    Defining this moment in rock music
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2006*

Glam Rock was a short lived moment in popular music that essentially lasted only about five or six years, say from 1970 to 1975. In 1970 we were long past the time when Ed Sullivan would only show Elvis from the waist up. The pill has made basic changes in the outlook of the young towards sex. Here in the US, the Viet Nam war, Watergate and Kent state were changing the view of the people.In music the time was ripe for a change and a series of musicians did that with a new form of rock that featured extremely theatrical performances with outrageous (for the time) costume, makeup and sets. This was called Glam Rock. It drew upon the history of previous styles of rock and added a theatrical aspect to music that was minimally modified.This book traces the history of Glam Rock from its beginnings with T. Rex and goes through the advent of Suzi Quatro. It explains what Glam Rock was and a bit about how it evolved into the next phase of music.
