Description
Love and Let Die: A Cultural History of the Beatles and Bond The Beatles and James Bond - two cultural touchstones that continue to shape our aspirations and fantasies. Released on the same day in 1962, 'Dr No' and 'Love Me Do' marked a pivotal moment in British popular culture. This book tells the story of how these two phenomena came to define our era, and the clash between working-class liberation and establishment control that exploded on the global stage. Over sixty years, Love and Let Die explores the opposing values and visions of Britain that these two icons represent. It's a story of male identity, of how the post-war generation sought to challenge the status quo and create a new kind of freedom. With page after page of glorious anecdotes, this book is a poignant and entertaining exploration of the cultural history that has shaped us. If you take popular culture seriously, this is the book for you.
