Description:

The final word from one of popular music's greatest critics.

In the summer of 2020, acclaimed music critic and journalist Peter Goddard began work on a new book that would take readers on a journey back through his fifty-plus years spent writing professionally about rock music and the musical styles circling it-everything from blues and jazz to country and classical. His plan was to revisit his old haunts and their habitues, scenes and figures he first wrote about starting in the mid-1960s when he became Canada's first on-staff popular music critic, to show how ongoing revisions continually reframe first impressions.

Tragically, Goddard died in 2022 before work on the manuscript was complete. But many of the core essays-on Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the Who, k.d. lang, David Bowie, Liza Minelli, The Band, Neil Diamond, and others-are here. Accompanying these new essays is a collection of some of the best writing of Goddard's career-ranging from interviews with B. B. King, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, and Janis Joplin to reviews of classic albums by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Neil Young, to close readings of Leonard Cohen, Anne Murray, Led Zeppelin, and Gordon Lightfoot. Taken as a whole, One Foot on the Platform represents more than fifty years of thought and writing by one of Canada's foremost cultural critics.

Difficult Assembly and Very Unstable
Extremely difficult to assemble. It seems like the metal wasn't cut well. Some things screw right in, while others will make your hands raw trying. It is true to size, which is great, aside from the fact that with how hard it is to build, disassembling and reassembling for storage would be a nearly impossible task, and it's extremely hard to tuck away anywhere fully built with the size and feet on the bottom. It's also pretty unstable and doesn't stand fully straight, which is a little nerve wracking with pets in the room. I am dreading dissassembling this thing to return it once I have something to replace it, but trust that I will be ASAP.

Didn’t come with all the Parts - Essentially Worthlist Return in process. Huge inconvenience
Product came with everything but the rubber pads that receives the screws so it’s essentially worthless upon arrival. Now I have to go out of my way to go to UPS to send it back and process a return which will take 7 business days until I can receive a refund. I was excited for this package too what a complete let down !

Excellent privacy shade.
Color: Coal Black
This delivered on exactly what it promises. So happy with the quality for the value. The shades are a fabric, nylon like, that are attached with a pocket on one end and velcro that adheres around the bar on the other. This was incredibly easy and straightforward to put together. Every piece was clearly labeled, coordinated with the instruction sheet, and fit perfectly. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to leave a review but I was so impressed by how clearly labeled and well explained the instructions were that I felt compelled to note it. Especially for anyone who doesn’t like putting things together, or is used to subpar instructions, this is leagues above the rest. It’s such a simple build anyway, but after buying so many things that barely fit as they should, this stands out. It is lightweight and easy to move. Offers privacy when opened, then can be folded out of the way. It looks exactly as pictured. No complaints, it’s a solid item and worth the price.

Decent quality for the price
Color: Grey
Decent quality for the price. Other privacy screens were extremely out of my budget, but this looks and works just fine- I just needed something simple to place behind my couch to hide some clutter. It took me about a half hour to assemble, but it was easy enough. It might be due to my carpeting, but I don't trust that the screen would be stable enough to stand freely without falling. Thankfully my plan all along was to wedge the screen between the couch and a box of clutter anyway, so for me it works as l'd planned!
