Samenvatting
Exploration of the relationship between popular music, age and gender, examining the role of youth and youthfulness through a series of themed case studies. Investigation of the exploitation of young artists such as Brenda Lee and Michael Jackson, offering a psychoanalytic reading of the relationship between child star and oppressive manager, and view at the current glut of boy- and girl-bands and solo performers in the mould of Britney Spears, to examine the continuing fatal fascination of stardom for adolescents. What happens to artists when they begin to age? The manipulation of youthfulness has been integral to the careers of pop artists such as Kylie Minogue and Cher. The image of male stars as 'wild boys', such as Jim Morrison, or 'nice boys' as Cliff Richard. |
