Acknowledgments I wish to thank the entire staff at ABC-CLIO as well as the copyeditors and others with whom they subcontract for all their help in getting this volume from the concept to the published book. I also wish to thank my wife and best friend, Karen Perone, for all the support that she continues to give me on my writing projects. I especially want to thank Karen for putting up with listening to some of the, shall we say, less-than-completely-satisfying recordings of these pop songs. I also wish to thank her for her good taste in acknowledging, as I do, that in its own curious and eerie way, Joey Ramone’s punk-rock version of “What a Wonderful World” actually works pretty darn well.
