Description

The history of rock and roll music can be seen in a long arc of Western civilization's struggle for societal stability.

In the 1960s, the West's relationship with authority ruptured as a search for greater individual expression merged with a rock revolution.

While though its effects are still with us today, the importance of this musical age has yet to be fully grasped. This book tells the story of the key artists, music, and events from the classic rock era--specifically from 1964 to 1980--through a visual psychoanalysis of the West.

In two parts, it chronologically unfolds important truths about groups like the British Invaders, hippies, and proto-punks, as well as topics such as primal scream therapy, drugs, and disco.

With a narrative that is equal parts entertaining, scholarly, and even spiritual, readers will gain an appreciation for rock music, better understand the confusing world we live in today, and obtain some clues as to where we might be headed.
