COREY TAYLOR


America 51 A Probe into the Realities Hiding Inside the Greatest Country in the World


A hilarious takedown of contemporary society in all its excess coupled with how we could change things for the better by the New York Times bestselling author


T he always-outspoken hard rock vocalist


Corey Taylor begins America 51 with a reflec- tion on what his itinerant youth and frequent


worldwide travels with his multiplatinum bands Slipknot and Stone Sour have taught him about what it means to be an American in an increas- ingly unstable world. He examines the way America sees itself, specifically with regard to the propaganda surrounding America’s origins (like a heavy-metal Howard Zinn), while also celebrating the quirks and behavior that make a true-blue American. Balancing humor, outrage, and disbelief, Taylor


examines the rotting core of America, evaluating everything from politics and race relations to family and “man buns.” By continuing the wave of moral outrage begun in You’re Making Me Hate You, Taylor skewers contemporary America in his own signature style.
