Publisher's Summary

The always-outspoken hard rock vocalist Corey Taylor begins America 51 with a reflection on what his itinerant youth and frequent worldwide travels with his multiplatinum bands Slipknot and Stone Sour have taught him about what it means to be an American in an increasingly unstable world. He examines the way America sees itself, specifically with regard to the propaganda surrounding America's origins (like a heavy-metal Howard Zinn) while also celebrating the quirks and behavior that make a true-blue American.

Balancing humor, outrage, and disbelief, Taylor examines the rotting core of America, evaluating everything from politics and race relations to family and "man buns". By continuing the wave of moral outrage begun in You're Making Me Hate You, Taylor skewers contemporary America in his own signature style.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

America 51 is mostly broken.

Fan of Slipknot and most of Corey Taylor but I can't say I enjoyed this book. I tried to even give it the context of being from 2017, but the tongue bath he gives Democrats and Hillary in particular is just gross. Once again, the reason why people voted trump was more then racism and sexism. People like Taylor have such low resolution excuses for this topic. It serves the ideology well as the left doesn't have to reckon with the fact that they are straight up rotten at its core. Neolibs like Hillary are just as dangerous as the Repubs for the working class. Taylor's guilt of "bigotry of low expectations" is too numerous to quantify. I would expect someone who has travelled as much as he has would have a more solid outlook, but in my opinion this was a uneven mess. Not recommended.
