Why Does Cliff Get All the Best Notes?

You could go read all of Luc Sante's review of Hip: The History by John Leland in the new Voice Literary Supplement, or I could give you the killer ending:

Just doing my service for all of you with too much to read and too little time on your eyes (so to speak).

I'm also waiting for Hip: The Future. History is like so yesterday.
