David Hamilton Golland, Ph.D., dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and professor of history, will publish his third book, \u201cLivin’ Just to Find Emotion: Journey and the Story of American Rock<\/a>\u201d (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2024) on Feb. 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In \u201cLivin\u2019 Just to Find Emotion,\u201d Golland writes the band\u2019s complete biography, based on over a decade of interviews and thousands of sources. The book takes readers through Journey\u2019s greatest songs and moments in this 50th anniversary tribute that is a complex story of ambition, larger-than-life personalities, and clashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a lifelong Journey fan, Golland felt compelled to tell their story, but his roots as a historian encouraged him to dig beyond the surface, and he was surprised by what he uncovered. \u201c[My] thesis [was] that the story of Journey\u2014once voted America\u2019s most popular band, according to a Gallup Poll\u2014was the story of the re-segregation of popular music,\u201d he explained. While chronicling the band\u2019s history, \u201cLivin\u2019 Just to Find Emotion\u201d also seeks to understand the context of how race in popular music contributed to Journey’s breakout success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golland explores the band\u2019s rise to the top with their hit album \u201cEscape\u201d in 1981; front man Steve Perry\u2019s quest for control and subsequent downfall; and ultimately the unlikely comeback of iconic song \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Believin\u2019\u201d and its relevance to a new generation of music fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGolland leaves no stone unturned in this fine-grained chronicle of the rock group Journey,\u201d according to a review in Publisher\u2019s Weekly. \u201cGolland\u2019s passion and precision make this a pleasure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
