About this title

Review:

'Lipstick Traces time travels on the wings of philosophy, history, conjecture and copious research to visit parallel movements of cultural rebellion... they range dizzyingly from punk to Dadaism, from French situationists to Anabaptism... destined, in other words, to achieve cult status.' The New York Times 'The world's greatest living rock critic.' Charles Shaar Murray, Independent

From the Publisher:

One of America's leading critics on popular culture
A brilliant and original investigation into underground, alternative and revolutionary movements into art, music and other cultural forms using the Sex Pistols' famous cry 'I am an Antichrist' as its starting point.
