Gina Arnold is an American author, music critic, and academic. A lecturer at Stanford University and an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco, she is the author of several books, including the 33⅓ book on Liz Phair, ''Exile in Guyville'', which the ''New York Times'' described as "charming and brave and unexpectedly moving." Between 1981 and 2003, Arnold contributed to publications including ''Spin'', ''Entertainment Weekly,'' the ''Los Angeles Times'', ''Rolling Stone'', and the ''Village Voice.'' Additionally, she wrote columns for the ''East Bay Express,'' ''Metro Silicon Valley'' and the ''San Jose Metro.'' Written in the first person, her work was frequently controversial. "In the ten years that Gina Arnold wrote for this paper, no one received more hate mail," the ''East Bay Express'' wrote in 2003."Arnold's writing usually contains three main items: fuzzy data, oversimplification, and half-assed reasoning," Dan Strachota wrote in the ''SF Weekly'' in 2000. "Her interest in music seemed to die around the time Kurt Cobain placed chrome to lip."〔 Srachota, Dan (Wednesday, Dec 6 2000) "Pop Philosophy" http://www.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/pop-philosophy/Content?oid=2140423〕 ==Early life and education== Arnold grew up in Palo Alto, California. As a teenager, she attended the Sex Pistols' 1978 Winterland show in San Francisco—their final show in their original incarnation—and disagreed with a negative review which subsequently appeared in the ''San Francisco Chronicle.'' Arnold wrote an angry letter to the editor in rebuttal. Her letter was published, and the ''Chronicle'' began to offer her assignments to cover music.〔 She was recruited for the swim team at UCLA, and attended the university for a year. She then transferred to University of California, Berkeley, where she graduated with a degree in communications. In 2011, Arnold was awarded a Ph.D. in modern thought and literature at Stanford University. Her doctoral dissertation, "Rock Crowds and Power: Race, Space, and Representation," drew on historical archives, literature, and films about counter cultural rock festivals of the 1960s and 1970s in addition to her own experience covering rock festivals in the 1990s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gina Arnold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
