In Addition: Researchers looking for books on this subject will undoubtedly find Boze Hadleigh. He has published a number of books about celebrities, and also two on gay and lesbian music: "The Vinyl Closet" and "Sing Out." If you are tempted to acquire these I feel caution is warranted, as a number of reviewers have found his work suspect due to lack of substantiation and documentation, especially concerning gossipy assertions about now conveniently dead performers. A common reviewer comment was "the book really could have used a bibliography. Otherwise there is a question as to the truthfullness of some of the author's claims." Recommended
Website http://www.hotwirejournal.com/ Throughout the lesson I link to a number of websites, but the one above deserves special mention. "Hot Wire: The Journal of Women's Music and Culture" was published from 1984 through 1994 and was a scholarly and also entertaining wonder, indeed documenting the music and culture. The publishers have recently established a website where every issue can be downloaded, and I cannot recommend it more highly. |
