Hop on Pop

Wow, he really did it. David, my hairstylist for most of the last decade, used to talk about the book that he was working on in his spare time -- an encyclopedia of pop culture icons from the 1950s thru the 80s. Lo and behold, he actually got it published. Cool for him.

In this nostalgia-filled era where VH1 regularly proclaims its love for the 70s, 80s and the previous 20 minutes, I have to wonder if the world really needs even more info about this stuff. Hopefully David's book, creatively titled From Abba To Zoom, provides some unique details/analysis on the subjects. I'll say this for it, it's certainly going to be thorough -- 3,001 entries!
