I GUESS MOST PEOPLE THINK SO....THERE IS ANOTHER , MORE RECENT "BUBBLEGUM" BOOK , THAT FOCUSES MORE ON BOY BANDS , SPICE GIRLS , BRITNEY , WHOEVER , AND THE ACTUAL LATE 60'S - EARLY 70'S STUFF IS ONLY MENTIONED AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. I DON'T THINK KASENETZ - KATZ EVEN GOT NAME-DROPPED. THE "ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BAD TASTE " HAD A CHAPTER ON BUBBLEGUM THAT
MENTIONS UK GLAM ROCK , NOT IN A FLATTERING LIGHT (FUCK EM.) , BUT , MAKES THE POINT , WHICH OTHERS HAVE , TOO , THAT MUCH OF THAT STUFF IS AN EXTENSION OF BUBBLEGUM . BUT,THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT , AND BRITNEY , BIEBER , ETC. , IS GLAM ROCK , LIKE EARLY BUBBLEGUM , IS SO DAMNED CATCHY !

I've heard of the book, which even covers Eurovision. Aren't people like Britney Spears and a certain Mr Justin Bieber contemporary bubblegum?
