This book is not just a project for me; it’s a labor of love. It all began during my time at Berklee College of Music, when I was tasked with choosing a research topic. I found myself drawn to the question, “Why there are no more Black R&B groups in existence?” This wasn’t just an academic curiosity; it was a topic that resonated deeply with me, as my research revealed that 99% of all R&B groups are majority African American.

Story
You can’t truly understand the last decade of the 20th century without a look at the muddy, electrifying rock music that would come to define it: grunge. For such a short-lived genre—at least in the mainstream—grunge had a lasting impact on American music and culture. It also provides a unique lens through which to examine the post-Reagan, pre-internet America of the 1990s. In the six lectures of The Story of Grunge, you’ll explore the rise and evolution of the genre, tracing it from Seattle subculture to MTV and the Billboard charts, all the way to its decline and evolution into new forms.

Over the fifty years that Lorne Michaels has been at the helm of Saturday Night Live, he has become a revered and inimitable presence in the entertainment world. He’s a tastemaker, a mogul, a withholding father figure, a genius spotter of talent, a shrewd businessman, a name-dropper, a raconteur, the inspiration for Dr. Evil, the winner of more than a hundred Emmys—and, essentially, a mystery. Generations of writers and performers have spent their lives trying to figure him out, by turns demonizing and lionizing him.

Nostalgia Overload - In The Best Way!
I listened to this as a road trip companion, and wow, what a blast! My friends and I spent hours testing each other's 90s music knowledge, discovering I'm apparently a walking encyclopedia of one-hit wonders (who knew?). The mix of trivia and fun facts kept things challenging, and I learned some wild stuff about songs I've heard a thousand times. Perfect difficulty level - challenging enough to make you think but not so obscure that it gets frustrating. It's such a fun way to relive the golden age of music!

Fun Audio
I found this audio book to be very enjoyable, it was fun to listen to. During the 90 I was in High School an In College so Id found this book very relatable. It was great knowing that I could recall many of information shared and surprising to know that there was many thing I was not aware of that took place in those special years of my life. This would be a great book to listen to with your developed friendships of that time. It is also a great idea to use it when you are driving on heavy traffic.

This was a fun listen—loved it!
Right from the start, the book starts with trivia that makes you think and teaches you about fun fact facts of the 90s. I absolutely love that. It is a fun book. We used it on a car trip. We had the Kindle version also I used as the answer guide. The audiobook/book not only ask questions but gives fun facts about the artist too. One of my favorite facts that I read in this book was about how Chumbawamba got their name. I highly recommend this audiobook to learn fun facts about the 90s or to using it as a game as we did to past the time in a long road trip.
