| Summary: | "Too Much Too Young explores the relationship between popular music, age and gender, examining the role of youth and youthfulness through a series of themed case studies. Sheila Whiteley begins by investigating the exploitation of young artists such as Brenda Lee and Michael Jackson, offering a psychoanalytic reading of the relationship between child star and oppressive manager, and looks at the current glut of boy- and girl-bands and solo performers in the mould of Britney Spears, to examine the continuing fatal fascination of stardom for adolescents."--BOOK JACKET. |
