Summary
  1. "Literary criticism, songwriting analysis, and cultural commentary, 'Words and Music into the Future' is an uncompromising examination of the current state of popular songs and songwriting in the English-speaking world. Devoid of hero worship and celebrity gossip, using mostly well-known songs from recent decades as examples, Michael Koppy presents a compelling case that we listeners have been force-fed a steady diet of industry illiteracy, and that the time has come for songwriting and song criticism to rise to greater heights."--Back cover
