What does it all mean, this thing called arock and rolla? This is
different from asking what happened, and who did what. A lot books
have dealt with these questions. The meaning of rock music in
American Culture is another matter entirely. From its roots in the
black and white aunder-classes, a through its clash with the
established culture and the inevitable backlash, to its
multi-faceted incarnation today, rock and roll has both fostered
and reflected a genuine cultural revolution which has gone on to
influence the world. Looking at this phenomenon is what
distinguishes You Say You Want a Revolution from all the others.
Specifically, during the brief history of rock music, American
culture has undergone a period of continuous turbulence, with the
fundamental values pertaining to race, sex, work and authority
undergoing challenge and change. You Say You Want a Revolution
examines the interplay in this period between the larger American
culture and this musical phenomenon that has become so much a part
of it. One Reviewer notes: aThis is one of the most accurate and
significant books ever written describing the impact of rock 'n'
roll as a cultural form that worked to transform American culture.a
