{"product_id":"9781931608084","title":"I Was A Teenage Angel of Death","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Teen Tragedy” songs were all the rage in the 1950’s. Songs like Jody Reynolds’ “Endless Sleep”, Mark Dinning’s “Teen Angel”, Ray Peterson’s “Tell Laura I Love Her”, and J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers’ cover of “Last Kiss”, not only climbed the charts, but would decades later inspire Robert Dwight “Buddy” Brown to compose a Rock Opera that was “one big Teen Tragedy song.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking the archetypes of the cowlicked nerd, the girl-next-door, and the greaser from the wrong side of the tracks, Buddy Brown spins a yarn that weaves from prose into song lyrics and back into prose and into lyrics again, composing the tapestry that is unique: I Was A Teenage Angel of Death, a rock opera without any music. Buddy Brown is hopelessly in unrequited love for Sarah Sue, the girl-next-door, who is smitten with Johnny Angel, a greaser from the wrong of side of the tracks. It is a tale as old as time... well, as old as the 1950’s anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chi Xi Stigma Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49972841414896,"sku":"9781931608084","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781931608084","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
