I just got schooled in Miley. For the upcoming print edition of The Arts Politic (we promise, it's coming!), I interviewed Mr. Pop Culture, Joshua Clover. Clover is a UC Davis professor, poet, cultural critic, contributor to the Village Voice, former senior writer for Spin and author. Clover's new book 1989: Bob Dylan Didn't Have This to Sing About, presents a lyrical history and analysis of pop music during "the end of history" era. →]]> http://theartspolitic.com/2009/11/19/sneak-peak-interview-with-1989-author-joshua-clover/feed/
