Description
"Where did Rock and Roll come from? And what has it come to?"--BOOK JACKET. "These are the sorts of questions that cultural historian and veteran music journalist Jim Miller raises in his new book about the rise - and arrested development - of rock and roll. Concentrating on the music in its early, formative decades, he explores how rock and roll was transformed from a joyous and sometimes earthy dance music in the 1940s into an abrasive, often angry art music by the end of the 1970s. Along the way, he celebrates a culture of youthful exuberance - and critically analyzes how it was organized into a billion-dollar global industry."--BOOK JACKET.
