Well, one could argue that the modern age of rock started in the ‘60s. And our mantra back then was “question authority.”
It has served me well over the decades.
The poles have switched. Top musicians previously mocked politicians, fueled college sit-ins, lamented "four dead in Ohio," and preached against "the man."
Nowadays, top musicians play at inaugurations, fuel students protesting conservative speech, cheer government overreach, and are willingly controlled by "the man."
We watched a YouTube today - Rick Wakeman on Vivaldi. He posits that Vivaldi was the first real rock star-type phemom.
50 minutes, but very interesting and engaging:
