Steven Hyden + Rob Sheffield | Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me: What Pop Music Rivalries Reveal About the Meaning of Life

Whether it’s the good-natured laddishness of the Beatles doing battle for hearts and minds with the ragged Rolling Stones, or Kanye West’s irrepressible button-pushing pitted against Taylor Swift’s kid-sister underdog persona, rivalry has defined pop music’s biggest stage for decades. Steven Hyden, music writer late of Grantland and the AV Club, delves into the lives and songs of tendentious tunesmiths in Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me: What Pop Music Rivalries Reveal About the Meaning of Life. He’ll be joined by Turn Around Bright Eyes author and fellow music obsessive Rob Sheffield in exposing the currents that run through such rivalries as varied as Biggie’s with Tupac’s, Toby Keith’s with the Dixie Chicks’, and Clapton’s with Hendrix’s.
