Papa Do Run: A Baby Boomer Looks (and Laughs) at Vintage Roc

Deborah Godin offers a unique look at the birth of not only pop music, but also pop culture. In these 13 collected essays, the author spins glorious tales of her teenage years spent in Detroit and croons a bold ballad about the advent of pop culture across the world.

From the birth of Motown to the British invasion, this book is a fun ride for those who understand the joy of having "no particular place to go".

Beginning with a timeline of the love story between the author and music that blossomed in the 1950s and 60s, these essays are filled with anecdotes that share the finer points of the history of contemporary music.

With an unconventional and delightful viewpoint, Godin talks about the "Rock Enigmas" of her generation as she examines the over-interpretation of music.

I just read this book and this video makes me feel just like the book did when I read it. If you love music this book is a very worthwhile investment because it will bring you back to some of the very best times in musical history and you will find yourself grinning from ear to ear as you read the fun stories.

Hey Deb, I like your trailer -- it shows great. Your book certainly entertained me -- of course I happen to be a boomer -- however my Son who is in his 20's really had a lot of laughs with it as well. In fact your book helped open us some great 'talk-time' between my son and me. For that I am grateful.
