From Amazon:

All You Need is Myth proposes that the Beatles and the iconic stars of the classic rock era function as modern forms of classical archetypes familiar in mythologies and religious traditions throughout history. The book establishes a persuasive argument that these “Rock Gods” have not only achieved the status of mythic deities but were chosen and nurtured for these roles by the culture itself because of their inherent resonance with archetypal characters, narratives, and symbolism.

Wagner’s thoughtful inquiry makes original contributions to the field of mythology as it is understood in the modern day. The thesis is a fulcrum of philosophical perspectives connecting separate academic studies, merging theories by Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Marshall McLuhan, and Mircea Eliade, among many others. Like a modern version of Sir James George Frazer’s The Golden Bough, this book synthesizes mythic traditions from around the globe, identifies enduring archetypal symbolism in a new milieu, and provides innovative terminology to demarcate the various forms of mythic expression.

All You Need is Myth promises to be a cornerstone reference in a growing cultural dialogue and required reading for anyone—be they simply fans, New Age seekers, or scholars—interested in the compelling topics and ideas it explores.
