After getting in trouble for almost ruining Field Day at Matt's school, Spot proves himself a hero.

Mucky Pup can never sit still, and he is never happier than when he's chasing something, or sniffing something out. That is how the trouble started. He had to check out the tin of green paint on the counter-top, and then it spilled all over him. Just to be really sure, he rolled in it as well! And then, he went to the barn and got covered in lots of straw. Now Mucky Pup was green with great clumps of straw sticking to his head, so it's hardly surprising that the donkey mistook him for a monster! Luckily Mucky Pup found his friend the piglet before any more harm was done, and they plunged into the stream together, washing everything off!

Popular music, today, has supposedly collapsed into a 'retromania' which, according to leading critic Simon Reynolds, has brought a 'slow and steady fading of the artistic imperative to be original.' Meanwhile, in the estimation of philosopher Alain Badiou, a significant political event will always require 'the dictatorial power of a creation ex nihilo'. Everywhere, it seems, at least amongst commentators of a certain age and type, pessimism prevails with regards to the predominant aesthetic preferences of the twenty first century: popular music, supposedly, is in a rut. Yet when, if ever, did the political engagement kindled by popular music amount to more than it does today? The sixties? The punk explosion of the late 1970s? Despite an on-going fixation upon these periods in much rock journalism and academic writing, this book demonstrates that the utilisation of popular music to promote political causes, on the one hand, and the expression of dissent through the medium of 'popular song', on the other hand, remain widely in practice today. This is not to argue, however, for complacency with regards to the need for expressions of political dissent through popular culture. Rather, the book looks carefully at actual usages of popular music in political processes, as well as expressions of political feeling through song, and argues that there is much to encourage us to think that the demand for radical change remains in circulation. The question is, though, how necessary is it for politically-motivated popular music to offer aesthetic novelty?
