520    "Since the late 1960s, a legendary cadre of artists--
       including the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce
       Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Black Sabbath, and
       the Who--has revolutionized popular culture and the sounds
       of our lives. While their songs still get airtime and some
       of these bands continue to tour, its idols are leaving the
       stage permanently. Can classic rock remain relevant as 
       these legends die off, or will this major musical 
       subculture fade away as many have before, Steven Hyden 
       asks. In this mix of personal memoir, criticism, and 
       journalism, Hyden stands witness as classic rock reaches 
       the precipice. Traveling to the eclectic places where 
       geriatric rockers are still making music, he talks to the 
       artists and fans who have aged with them, explores the 
       ways that classic rock has changed the culture, 
       investigates the rise and fall of classic rock radio, and 
       turns to live bootlegs, tell-all rock biographies, and 
       even the liner notes of rock's greatest masterpieces to 
       tell the story of what this music meant, and how it will 
       be remembered, for fans like himself. Twilight of the Gods
       is also Hyden's story. Celebrating his love of this 
       incredible music that has taken him from adolescence to 
       fatherhood, he ponders two essential questions: Is it time
       to give up on his childhood heroes, or can this music 
       teach him about growing old with his hopes and dreams 
       intact? And what can we all learn from rock gods and their
       music--are they ephemeral or eternal?"--Amazon.com
