Publisher Description A rousing, poignant look at the cultural history of rock & roll during the early 1960s.Received Gold for the IPPY Book Award in the Catergory of Popular Culture by the Independent PublisherIn the early 1960s, the nation was on track to fulfill its destiny in what was being called "the American Century." Baby boomers and rock & roll shared the countrys optimism and energy. For "one brief, shining moment" in the early 1960s, both President John F. Kennedy and young people across the country were riding high. The dream of a New Frontier would soon give way, however, to a new reality involving assassinations, the Vietnam War, Cold War crises, the civil rights movement, a new feminist movement, and various culture wars.From the former host of NPRs Rock & Roll America, Richard Aquilas Rock & Roll in Kennedys America offers an in-depth look at early 1960s rock & roll, as well as an unconventional history of Kennedys America through the lens of popular music. Based on extensive research and exclusive interviews with Dion, Bo Diddley, Brenda Lee, Martha Reeves, Pete Seeger, Bob Gaudio, Dick Clark, and other legendary figures, the book rejects the myth that Buddy Hollys death in 1959 was "the day the music died." It proves that rock & roll during the early 1960s was vibrant and in tune with the history and events of this colorful era. These interviews and Aquilas research reveal unique insights and new details about politics, gender, race, ethnicity, youth culture, and everyday life. Rock & Roll in Kennedys America recalls an important chapter in rock & roll and American history.
