With the energy and irreverent humour of a fanzine, the acuity of investigative journalism, and the eye of an art book, this new, expanded edition of Golden Miles explores the archetypal product of Australian suburbia - the muscle car. Clinton Walker is the author of seven books and several hit documentaries including the 2001 series on the history of Australian rock, Long Way to the Top. 'A rambling journey that's provocative and lavishly illustrated ... as much for pop culture lovers as rev heads.' - Sydney Morning Herald.

Popular live-music commentator Clinton Walker mourns the closing of pub rock music venues in our cities and suburbs, outlines the history behinds this, defends the cultural vitality being lost and calls for a change to the policies and state and local council regulations that stand in the way of restoration. New research shows that the venue-based music industry has an annual output of $1.21 billion, creates 15,000 full-time jobs and draws audiences of over 41 million. Contemporary music is a legitimate and integral branch of arts and culture, he says, but one that has for too long suffered discrimination and contempt.

Performing punk rock in many of these places wasn’t just rebellious, it was legitimately dangerous, thanks to regimes far more oppressive and brutal than what existed in the West.
