[ebooks] The Madwoman in the Volvo (Modern Plays) by Sandra Tsing Loh in Arts-Photography

Description

Rock music today is universal and its popular history is well known. Yet few know how and why it really came about. Taking a fresh look at events long overlooked or misunderstood; this book tells how some of the most disenfranchised people in a free and prosperous nation strove to make themselves heardmdash;and changed the world. Describing the genesis of rock and roll; the author covers everything from its deep roots in the Mississippi Delta; key early figures; like deejay ldquo;Daddy-Ordquo; Dewey Phillips and gospel star Sister Rosetta Tharpe; and the influence of so-called ldquo;holy rollersrdquo; of the Pentecostal church who became crucial performersmdash;Elvis Presley; Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard.
