Useless Music Knowledge

Zusatztext

You can save lives by pumping to the beat of "Stayin' Alive", Fleetwood Mac once sued Fleetwood Mac and a zither melody once topped the US Billboard charts. As "useless" as all this may seem at first glance, "Useless Music Knowledge" teaches you a lot about the workings of the music industry and some of the bizarre background information behind personalities and hits. Or did they know what connects hip-hop history to "Dirty Dancing" or that Cher once babysat for Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Formally active in the Austrian music industry for more than two decades, Hannes Tschürtz has always been passionate about not only looking behind the curtain professionally, but also collecting stories and anecdotes from pop history. Now this curiosity has turned into a book: "Useless Music Knowledge" is an entertaining journey through pop culture of the past decades, follows anecdotes and reports of shameless stealing, absurd identity theft; tragic accidents and surprising connections.
