Lovely review of That Gun In Your Hand today in @winnipegfreepress.com "At first blush, it sounds silly to build a book around a single song. But the genius of this book is that it both is, and isn’t, about a single song." @anvilpress.bsky.social www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

Review of That Gun In Your Hand at That Shakespearean Rag: www.shakespeareanrag.com/i-heard-you-... "Schneider does a good job of delineating the extent to which violent material has pervaded the history of music... and how 'Hey Joe' can serve as a persuasive case study" @anvilpress.bsky.social
