Master of Music Rock Vol 2 (ePub)

In this the second of our Series we visit profile the lives and legends of the biggest names in Rock. Before Rock there was Rock and Roll... Elvis Presley came outof nowhere, hip snaking onto an almost empty stage, with Little Richard, black and gay, lurking in the wings. He singlehandedlytook the underbelly of America... dirt-poor greaser, glorifying it. Elvis was all four Jungian archetypes rolled into one - the child- the wise man, the fool or trickster and lastly, the sexual being, desirable, yet unobtainable. In his wake spawning countless scores ofBobbies from Darren to Rydell. Into this vacuum stepped the Beatles, this time they split the archetype into four unbeatable single units, along with a darker, more sinister Rolling Stones, setting the blueprint for what was yet to come. The law could not touch these New Gods; Keith Richards became the patron saint of Junkies, while the Velvet Underground. the defining forefathers of art rock, made Heroin an accessory, way before Black Sabbath's Ozzie Osborne made Bipolar - Bipopular. Pink Floyd's L.S.D. landscapes became an homage to cash registers, and stadium rock was born.
