chronicles the first forty years of rock/pop music history. Picture
the various musical styles as locations on a giant unfolding road
map. As you open the map, you travel from place to place, stopping
at each chapter to sample the artistry. Don't forget to dress your
imagination appropriately for this trip, because each genre is
affected by the societal topography and climate that surround it.
Enjoy your trip. We promise it will be a good one!'.
