A good history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Growing up with punk rock and having constantly tried analyzing all the reasons why "rock and roll" is so 'evil' according to mainstream, this book gave me the greatest insight to how it all started. Listening to comedians like Bill Hicks who attack the subject of "anti-rockers" I still never new where rock and roll really came from except it had influences from African American roots in Blues, etc. But who WAS the first rock band. What WAS the first song classified as "rock"? This book defines all that and gives a great explanation for where the hatred came from. Maybe if you've read a thousand books on the subject like it seems the other reviewers did, then this book is redundant and too extremist, but from a perspective OF an extremist (or at least a listener of extremist music) this is a nice history lesson for ANYONE who is passionate about ANY kind of music.
