In which the Curmudgeons continue their revisitation of rock 'n' roll's magical yet tense rise as the music and attitude of American youth. Last episode, we discussed the parochial influences that shaped the earliest rock and the Black pioneers who introduced it to the world. Now, we discuss what happened when Whites got a load of it.
