Publisher Description

Popoff turns the microphone outward to an assembled panel of Lizzy scholars and devotees. Together, the moderator and his brain trust deconstruct each of Thin Lizzy's 12 studio albums and every single song inside of them. What emerges is a series of 12 substantive conversations, with theories proposed and debated, parts of songs pointed out and praised, and, repeatedly, punches not pulled. It's likely that the most demanding of Thin Lizzy fans will come away with fresh perspectives on the band they hadn't as of yet considered. And that's the point of Popoff's panel presentation-to send the devoted listener back to the sacred texts for a reminder of why he or she fell in love with Thin Lizzy in the first place.
