"American music critic and journalist, Greil Marcus changed the face of rock criticism with his books "Mystery Train" (1975) and "Lipstick Traces" (1989) which placed rock and roll in American folk history and western civilization, respectively. He is the author of many books on rock music and pop culture, including "Dead Elvis: A Chronicle of a Cultural Obsession" (1991) and "Like a Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan at the Crossroads" (2005). He was the first review editor at Rolling Stone and has been critic and columnist for Creem, the Village Voice and Artforum and a contributor to The New Yorker, The New York Times and Esquire. His latest book, "The Shape of Things to Come: Prophecy and the American Voice," was released in September."
