{"product_id":"music-vs-the-man","title":"Music vs The Man","description":"For centuries, a war has raged between singers, musicians, bands--and the authorities. The conflict comes to life in Music vs The Man.\n\nWhat is it about musicians like John Lennon, Billie Holiday, Paul Robeson, Michael Jackson and Pussy Riot that has put them so frequently in the cross-hairs of the police, immigration officials, city councils, the FBI, and the Kremlin?\n\nMusic vs The Man explores the question in chapters featuring artists from Strauss and Shostakovich to Sinatra and the Stones.\n\nMusic wields the type of revolutionary power that politicians and authorities only dream of. Music has the power to open hearts, change minds, and motivate people to stand up for what they believe in. That's why, through the centuries, authorities have been trying to censor it, by throwing musicians in prison, raiding their homes and sometimes even killing them.\n\nIn Music vs The Man acclaimed filmmaker and author Peter Rowe tells the wild stories of the efforts of a wide group of musical artists to make their voices heard, and the bold and forceful efforts of the authorities to shut them up.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1735465070\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1735465070.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rowe, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
