Los Clash fueron un grupo insólito, una perfecta anomalía que pronto trascendería su militando en el punk más atroz, en compañía de bandas como los Sex Pistols, a fin de ir incorporando, sin renunciar a su combativo ideario ni a sus principios estéticos, otras tradiciones musicales a su paleta sonora. Pioneros, pues, del efervescente punk rock que haría las delicias de las hordas de encrestados imberbes que abominaban del jipismo burguesito, los mods, los Teddy Boys y la edulcorada grandilocuencia del Canterbury Sound y el prog rock no sin antes abjurar del folk.

Grunge wasn’t a genre. It was a condition. Before flannel became fashion. Before MTV turned sadness into style. Before Nirvana knocked Michael Jackson off the charts. There was rain. There was cheap rent. There were broken amplifiers in basement clubs no one outside Seattle cared about. In Grunge: The Sound That Crawled Out of the Rain, Kevin L. Whitworth delivers a powerful investigative cultural history of the Seattle music scene that changed the 1990s—and then collapsed under its own success. This is not another Nirvana biography.

In 1986, more people watched “The Mystery of Al Capone’s Vault” than the Superbowl. More people watched the two-hour live event than David Frost’s interview with Richard Nixon. Both events were high-wire, high-reward, high-disaster broadcasts. Geraldo Rivera had been fired from ABC after fifteen years and the live broadcast from Chicago of Al Capone’s vault was to be his comeback. On April 21, 1986, at nine fifteen Eastern, Geraldo gave the signal at the midpoint of the show to blow open the subterranean vault with dynamite and reveal to the world the great secrets of Al Capone...

Considerada la obra más madura de Lorca, La casa de Bernarda Alba cierra la llamada trilogía de la tragedia -formada también por Bodas de sangre y Yerma-. Su carácter realista y la opresión en el pecho que se siente ante la represión de unas mujeres atrapadas en un frío infierno de luto, celos, silencio y sueños truncados se ha interpretado como un presagio de los oscuros tiempos que se avecinaban y en los que el propio Lorca se convertiría en una víctima prematura.
