"Is Rock Dead?" is an A-list rock book. The topic is the play of rock & roll's everlasting life against its constantly touted death. The content is by turns amusing, incisive, and revelatory. Pertinent allusions are used to highlight details, all kinds of great unusual info surfaces, and Dettmar rather objectively lays waste to the work of so-called rock scholars harboring narcissistic agendas. Dettmar's analysis of Kurt Cobain's suicide interpolated with Neil Young and Michael Stipe's work in relation to it is especially moving.
