Mixed bag of essays on power pop. Don't look for a comprehensive history of the genre; the focus is either on a single artist (and sometimes, annoyingly, why they are NOT really power pop - why do we need 2 chapters on Jeff Lynne/ELO if that's the case?), or autobiographical vignettes describing how a specific artist had an impact on the author's life. The essay on Fountains of Wayne, written before Adam Schlesinger's untimely 2020 death from COVID, made me cry. And I will love Dave Holmes forever for writing about the criminally unheralded Tommy Keene (another artist gone too soon). The book's opening essay comes from Justin Fielding, an independent filmmaker who has been working on a power pop movie for years. If it is ever released, it will celebrate this genre much more than a book ever could. Until then, Go All The Way (and its sequel [b:Go Further: More Literary Appreciations of Power Pop 58045098 Go Further More Literary Appreciations of Power Pop (Mixtape #4) Paul Myers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1621034088l/58045098.SY75.jpg 90967383]) will have to suffice.
