Dr. Edward Whitelock spent most of the year 1978 stealing and hoarding his grandmother's meds in preparation for suicide. Why? Just the usual story: he was a poor, clumsy, socially awkward kid whose daily life was comprised of the seemingly unending torture of the middle-school outcast. Then, Devo appeared on Saturday Night Live. Everything changed; the future was revealed: The geeks would inherit the earth. APOCALYPSE JUKEBOX is an examination of American popular music - from hellfire hymnals though anarchic rock and roll - and reveals the nation's collective fixation on disaster, revelation, and impossible salvation.
