Reviews for This Ain´t the Summer of Love: Conflict and Crossover in Heavy Metal and Punk
"One of the more potent and persuasive pieces of recent cultural critiques... Waksman, often quite brilliantly, fuses the fan and the critic into a rich voice for music criticism... Considerably raises the bar for engaged exploration of music subcultures." Baltimore City Paper "A wonderful mixture of fact, observation, interpretation, and humor."
