The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend, the Music, the Seventies in San FranciscoImagine a pied piper singing in falsetto, wearing sequins, and leading the young people of the nation to San Francisco and on to a liberation where nothing was straight laced or old fashioned. And everyone, finally, was welcome to come as themselves. This is not a fairy tale. This was real, mighty real, and disco sensation Sylvester was the piper. Yale trained sociologist Joshua Gamson uses Sylvester's life to lead us through the story of the 1970s,

Imagine a pied piper singing in falsetto, wearing sequins, and leading the young people of the nation to San Francisco and on to a liberation where nothing was straight-laced or old-fashioned. And everyone, finally, was welcome--to come as themselves. This is not a fairy tale. This was real, mighty real, and disco-sensation Sylvester was the piper.

Yale-trained sociologist Joshua Gamson uses Sylvester's life to lead us through the story of the 1970s, when a generation took off its shame. Celebrity, sociology, and music history mingle in this endlessly entertaining story of a singer who embodied the freedom, spirit, and flamboyance of a golden moment in American culture.

ZERO regrets purchasing this gorgeous screen!!
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 6 Panel, Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 6 Panel
I am just really blown away by how gorgeous this screen is and I could not be happier with it. It's lighter weight, but still substantial and the print and colors are just exquisite. I would buy this again 10 times over. I can't even believe it just over $200 for a 6 panel screen of this quality and beauty. WELL worth it and the best deal you will see out there for something like this. The screws and the way they work took a little bit of a learning curve, but once I realized what each controlled, it was smooth sailing. The screen arrives fully assembled, but you just need to tighten and loosen is some areas to accommodate your needs for its position and the floor it's standing on. Nothing too complicated at all, just a few tweaks here and there
