McDonald has a lot of interesting points to make about the music, the band, and what was going on in the world surrounding them at the time. Rush fans who are interested in something more in-depth than the normal run of band biographies should at least take a look at this volume., "McDonald has a lot of interesting points to make about the music, the band, and what was going on in the world surrounding them at the time.

This book should be welcomed not only by those with an interest in hard and progressive rock, but also by anyone who wishes to understand the role of social class in recent popular culture."--William Echard, Carleton University "As Chris McDonald correctly points out in Dreaming in Middletown, writing on rock music traditionally has tended to privilege the working class as the ultimate site of authentic expression. It is refreshing to encounter a scholarly book that finally takes up the challenge of interpreting popular music's meanings in relation to its substantial, yet often neglected, middle class fan base. Deftly interweaving in-depth musical analyses with the insights of sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, and the voices of Rush fans themselves, McDonald has produced a smart, probing, and illuminating scholarly work that deserves a place alongside Susan Fast's In the Houses of the Holy as one of the best musicological studies of a single rock band."--Theo Cateforis, Syracuse University, A well-researched, provocative glimpse into one of the most popular, yet oft-overlooked bands in the history of rock., "McDonald has a lot of interesting points to make about the music, the band, and what was going on in the world surrounding them at the time.
