Registration is recommended in advance. About Waiting for Britney Spears. . .America, 2003: A country at war, its shiny veneer beginning to crack. Von Dutch and The Simple Life dominate. And on the cover of every magazine, a twenty-one-year-old pop star named Britney Spears. Tracking her every move for a third-tier gossip rag in Los Angeles was an unknown young writer taking whatever job he could while pursuing his distant literary dreams. He'd instead become an eyewitness to the slow tragedy of a changing nation, represented in spirit by “the coy it-girl at the end of history.”
Years later, after finally establishing himself as a celebrated journalist, Jeff Weiss presents Waiting for Britney Spears, a gonzo, nostalgic, and “allegedly true” recounting of his years as a tabloid spy in the lurid underbelly of Los Angeles. Weiss follows America’s sweetheart through Vegas superclubs and Malibu car chases, annulled marriages and soul-crushing legal battles, all the way to Britney’s infamous 2007 VMA performance. As Weiss lives through the chaos leading to Britney’s conservatorship, he observes, with peerless style, cringe-inducing fashion waves, destructive celebrity surveillance, and a country whose decline is embodied by the devastating downturn of its former golden child.
With the narrative flair that established him as a singular chronicler of modern pop culture, Weiss goes for broke in Waiting for Britney Spears, a descent into a neon hall of mirrors reflecting our obsession with fame, morality, and the mystery of what really happened to the last great pop star. Jeff Weiss is a music writer and cultural critic whose work has appeared in the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Pitchfork, FADER, and many other outlets. A former columnist for LA Weekly, he is the cofounder of The LAnd magazine and the founder of the pioneering hip-hop blog Passion of the Weiss, along with its record label, POW Recordings. He lives in Los Angeles. About Third Place BooksFounded in 1998 in Lake Forest Park, Washington, Third Place Books is dedicated to the creation of a community around books and the ideas inside them.

놀라운 해산물과 재미있는 분위기! 샌프란시스코를 생각나게 합니다. 가장 좋았던 부분은 버스커들을 보는 것이었습니다! 나는 Dr. Feel good by Motley Cr&uuml;에게 드럼을 연주 한 여성을 만났고 굉장했습니다! 맛있는 훈제 연어를 사면서 해산물 맹그 중 4명과 함께 굴 슈터를 먹었습니다. 스트립을 걷다 보니 얇은 바다 소금을 은 따뜻한 초콜릿 칩 쿠키를 판매하는 곳을 만났습니다. 맛있는! 마지막으로 터키에서 운영하는 가게가 있었고 그 여성은 나에게 선물에 대한 훌륭한 조언을 줬고 내가 먹어본 최고의 바클라바를 먹었습니다.
