The new book - Anthems We Love: - is a testament to the earworms we love (and sometimes hate).
"Rock and Roll All Nite" from KISS is the rare rock"anthem" that was written to be just that. Even if it took a few years.It was 1970 or 1971 and Carly Simon was waiting in her apartment for a dinner date to arrive. He was running a bit late so the singer/songwriter—to calm her nerves—picked up a guitar and began to casually put together a song. Less than 20 minutes later when the doorbell rang, she had written “Anticipation.” It became one of her best-known hits.
And even if some of the stories already known to the more hardcore music aficionado, it’s a tribute to Baltin’s skills as an interviewer that he’s able to get in many cases septuagenarians to offer fresh recollections and anecdotes on tunes that in some cases hover around the half century vintage. At least the book lays it out what “makes” an anthem. “Sometimes, it’s a combination of luck, risk, and art colliding in unexpected ways,” producer/songwriter Spencer Proffer writes in the book’s prologue. Baltin also mentions “timelessness and universality.”
