In Hello, It’s Me, pop culture historian Chris Epting celebrates the cultural touchstones of the past 40 years--the music, movies, television, hobbies, and fads that have defined recent generations.

Beginning in the 1970s and continuing through the 1980s, 1990s, and up to the present day, Epting writes about the humorous, ironic, poignant, and inspiring moments he’s experienced with a host of pop-culture icons--Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jay Leno, Johnny Thunders, Edward Albee, John Cheever, Milton Berle, etc.--as well as his personal memories of the era’s most famous pop-culture fads, products, and gimmicks--Pet Rocks, lava lamps, mood rings, 8-track tapes, bootleg records, Zotz, halter tops, strawberry wine. . . .… (more)
