TED POLHEMUS

Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll . . . Straight from the fridge - I Love Lucy meets The Sopranos in The Twilight Zone. From Elvis to Johnny Rotten, Neptune, New Jersey (with Greetings from Asbury Park) to Swinging London. Some say 'it all happened in the 60s' but in BOOM! anthropologist and social historian Ted Polhemus shows how the roots of our (post) modern age go back to the heady years just after WWII. If you like Mad Men, Blade Runner, American Graffiti, Blow-up, The Wild One . . . wish you'd caught Monk at Minton's Playhouse in 1947, Sprinsteen at The Stone Pony or The Pistols in London in 1976 (or not) . . . Other books by Ted Polhemus include Streetstyle, Fashion & Anti-fashion, Style Surfing, Body Styles and Orbiting Neptune.
