I break down each chapter using quotes & observations, and discuss whether Nick Hornby \u2013 excellent author and passionate music lover \u2013 was or wasn\u2019t the best person to write this book.\nOne of my missions with MxG is to find connections where none seem to be. Dickens and Prince are two of my all-time favorite artists in any medium, yet I NEVER would have thought to connect them. I love that Hornby has done it, and even though some of the parallels AND some of Hornby\u2019s Prince critique seem like stretches, ultimately the book treats both subjects with reverence and understanding, and it\u2019s a real pleasure and an easy read.\nAre you fans of Dickens and/or Prince? Would you have thought to connect them in any way? If you read this book, how well do you feel Hornby did? Discuss dammit!\n~~~\n*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
