Book Description
Rock ‘n Roll is the first music to span generations. What youth enjoyed in the ’20s was ignored in the ’30s. Music from the ’30s was ignored in the ’40s and so on – that is until Rock ‘n’ Roll hit the mainstream in the 1960s. Every generation wants a music they can call their own. The difference with Rock ‘n’ Roll is that new generations embrace what’s past as well as present.This volume brings each decade of Rock to life, and additionally includes chapters on Elvis, The Beatles, Music in the Video Age, Rock Festivals, Women in Rock, and lots of urban legends… both true and mythic. Rock music reinvents itself regularly and shows no signs of slowing down.
