Rock and roll has traditionally been a boys' game. It has forced female artists to work twice as hard, usually for half the recognition -- but without their contributions, American music would be radically impoverished. Called "a kind of female Cameron Crowe" by the Chicago Tribune, Gerri Hirshey has been writing about music for two decades. Now, in a narrative based on frank original interviews and a vise grasp of American cultural history, she serves up a tasty platter of girl groups and soul queens, acoustic goddesses and priestesses of the avant-garde, punk grrrls, glamazons, and innovators of hip-hop and neo-soul. We Gotta Get Out of This Place is the passionate history of a century of women in rock that is deft, authoritative, and a sheer delight to read. "A literary soul queen, an Aretha of the page ..." -- Karen Schoemer, Elle "We Gotta Get Out of This Place ... helps set the record straight." -- Dan Gilgoff, U.S. News & World Report "Hirshey doesn't write about rock aoll. She writes rock and roll." -- L. D. Meagher, CNN.com "Vivid, impassioned, and] lively." -- Francine Prose, O Magazine

I’ve been using this MacBook Air for a few weeks now and honestly I’m very impressed with the quality and performance. It’s super lightweight, fast, and the battery lasts all day without any problems. The screen quality is beautiful and everything runs smoothly, even when I have multiple apps open at the same time.

Worth the investment
Capacity: 16GB Unified Memory | 512GB SSD Storage, Color: Sky Blue, Set: Without AppleCare+
I don't usually write reviews, but I recently bought this computer and I'm loving it. I previously had an M2 2023 Macbook Air that I got water in and fried. This essentially does all the same things, but cooler. It also has a bigger screen, which is perfect for me since I do a lot of work on my computer and constantly have a million tabs open. I'm also a student, so there's that. No complaints! The battery life is great and much better than my old computer. The color is a beautiful blue, which I've never seen before and I think is quite unique. I've gotten compliments on it. It also runs much faster and for some reason connects better to my crappy printer! Win all around!

Impressive MacBook Air
Capacity: 16GB Unified Memory | 512GB SSD Storage, Color: Midnight, Set: Without AppleCare+
Ordered via Prime and the Mac arrived the next day. Setup was easy. The M5 chip flies but my usage is basically routine functions no heavy usage. Everything is speedy. This computer is an upgrade from my 2017 MacBook Pro and a 2020 iMac. Both of those old Macs are still functional. I've been using Macs since the Apple IIC and II GS. Over 35 years ago. The keyboard is one of the best I've used. I loved the 2017 MBP keyboard because if had a great feel. Others since then were not comfortable until this keyboard on the MB Air. Booting up is fast. For me the battery will last for four days before recharging. I really like the Mag Safe charger. Easy on and easy off especially if you happen to forget you're charging and pull the computer away from the connection. Connection just drops off. The touchpad is not as sensitive as others. If I accidentally rest my finger or fingers on the pad it doesn't execute an unwanted command. You have to use a little pressure to execute the task. No problems while typing and having the touchpad sending you off into space somewhere. A great Mac upgrade.

Beautiful, Super Thin, Fast
Capacity: 16GB Unified Memory | 512GB SSD Storage, Color: Silver, Set: Without AppleCare+
It’s beautiful, super thin, very fast, and the screen size reminds me of the large iPad Pro. I have to get used to not touching the screen like you do with an iPad. You must use a mouse or your finger. Also programs work differently than apps. Make sure you are ready for that if you are only used to using an iPad.

Awesome
Capacity: 16GB Unified Memory | 512GB SSD Storage, Color: Midnight, Set: Without AppleCare+
This computer is great, it's fast, reliable, and it has a great amount of screen real estate. It's great for people who have trouble reading or people who have to multitask.
