"nothing natural about it!"
Wednesday, 6 December 2006
I swear I had a video of Billy Idol singing White Christmas. Only that video is “no longer available.” Or was it some sort of nightmare? Oh well. Here’s a great song from the Idol, relevant to the season, called Plastic Jesus. He’s still cool, at least sometimes, even if he did not write the song himself.
Get my book at Southern Illinois University Press, Amazon, or Powell's Books.
The C.C.C.C webpage, A Taste for Language: Literacy, Class, and English Studies includes a short podcast interview with me along with links to these reviews:
... by Victor Villanueva in CCC 62.4 (June 2011)
... by Chanon Adsanatham in Teaching English in the Two-Year College 38.3 (March 2011)
... by Scott McLemee in Inside Higher Education (17 Feb 2010)
Note: you need to be a member of NCTE, and a subscriber to the relevant journal, to read the reviews by Villanueva and Adsanatham; the review by McLemee is available to the general public.
