Synopsis

From the debuts of the great guitar players (Robert Johnson and Chuck Berry) to the historic festivals (Altamont and Live Aid) Bordowitz captures the excitement of five decades of Rock and Roll history. This book explores it all, from those early seemingly innocent songs like |Rock Around the Clock| to the outright raunchy |Soft and Wet| and from the birth of the term |Rock and Roll| in 1954 on the Alan Freed Show to the first fusion of rock with rap on Aerosmith's |Walk This Way|. These are the moments that made music possible, and that changed music forever.
