Has the global phenomenon that is Pop Idol ruined pop music, or is it
just the natural evolution of a genre of music that has always been
manufactured? From Tin Pan Alley to The Monkees, Bay City Rollers,
Spice Girls, and boy bands, Bubblegum showcases the rise of Pop Idol
and its many predecessors, in the process creating a witty, thorough
history of what is arguably the most popular musical genre ever. This
colorfully illustrated look at pop's manufactured mega-brands
includes original interviews with the movers and shakers of the pop
world.
