Late in the Reagan years, three young men at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University formed the Christian rap group dc Talk. The trio put out a series of records that quickly secured their place at the forefront of contemporary Christian music. But, with their fourth studio album Jesu...s Freak (1995), dc Talk staked a powerful claim on the worldly market of alternative music, becoming an evangelical group with secular selling power. This book sets out to study this mid-90s crossover phenomenon-a moment of cultural convergence between Christian and secular music and an era of particular political importance for American evangelicalism. Written by two queer scholars with evangelical pasts, Jesus Freak explores the importance of a multifarious album with complex ideas about race, sexuality, gender, and politics-an album where dc Talk wonders, What will people do when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak? and evangelical fans stake a claim for Christ-like coolness in a secular musical world.

More than 40 years after her death, the extraordinary voice of Maria Callas, La Divina Assoluta, still remains unsurpassed. It has the power to divide critics, some finding it monstrous, others transcendent. Artists like Patti Smith, Linda Ronstadt and Nina Simone have cited Call...as as a major influence and inspiration. She remains one of the most important female voices of the 20th century. Much has been written about Callas's sensational opera career and fraught private life, from her clashes with other artists, affair with billionaire playboy Aristotle Onassis, to her tragic death in 1977. And yet, the fascination with Callas's biography tends to overshadow her most seemingly superhuman qualities - her astounding voice and masterful technique. Callas often spoke of her voice as if it were something external, independent of her, with its own will, failings and desires. Nevertheless, she was a diva with iron discipline, taming her voice to forge roles that have become legendary. Using one of Callas's first recital recordings from 1954 as a foundation, this book envisions each song, each aria, as a lens to examine phenomena as diverse as the operatic screaming point, feminism and the voice, and music and violence.
