Years from now, if the Democrats have long faded from American memory, anthropologists and historians will ask, Didnt any of them read this book by Danny Goldberg?Michael MooreDanny Goldberg has written with pinpoint accuracy an important memoir filled with fascinating insights.

His candor, vision and sense of humor is infectious.Cornel WestWhen did American government become the enemy of American pop culture? Music insider and progressive activist Danny Goldberg has spent decades tuning in to the rhythms and voices that speak straight to the hearts and desires of Americas youth. In that time, one fact has become increasingly clear: our venerable political leaders are tone deaf. In this startling, provocative book, Goldberg shows how todays professional public servants have managed to achieve nothing less than the indefensible, wholesale alienation of an entire generation.
