Reviews

"This is the most brilliant study yet written of the modern phenomenon of rock music."--National Review
"An articulate elucidation of rock 'n' roll as the heir apparent to 19th-century romantic pantheism.... Makes a convincing case for rock as the central aesthetic manifestation of our culture.... Pattison writes amusingly and his rock 'n' roll fever is infectious."--Kirkus Reviews. "A provocative, opinionated study about the origins of rock and about rock as an idea."--Library Journal
