A History of Rock and Roll Music

Posted by admin on 4th March 2010 in Rock n Roll

The immediate origins of rock and roll lie in the late 1940s and early 1950s through a mixing of the genres of blues, country, R&B, folk and gospel music. Alan Freed, a disc jockey based in Cleveland, Ohio is generally credited with first using the phrase rock and roll in 1951, though the phrase was in constant use at time in lyrics of R&B songs of the time. The phrase rocking and rolling has its origins in slang for dancing or having sex. Many early rock and roll hits were re-writes of earlier R&B or blues songs. Black music was still taboo on radio stations, so producers and artists began making white versions of black music. In 1955, Bill Haley’s Rock Around the Clock became the first rock and roll song to top the charts. The song became one of the biggest hits in history, and hordes of teenagers began flocking to hear Haley and his band The Comets. Blues would continue to inspire rock for decades with great acts like Cream, The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin drawing their inspiration from musicians like Robert Johnson and Skip James. Rock and Roll influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes and language. It also appeared at a time when racial tensions were coming to a head in the United States, the music contributed to the civil rights movement as both black and white teenagers followed the music. It was a fresh sound which spawned fresh ideas and approaches which paved the way for the swinging sixties.

My Definition of Rock and Roll

“Rock and roll is sexual energy expressed in sound”

It all started with “Elvis the Pelvis”. Why do you think all the girls started fainting all over this country when they heard Elvis’ voice for the first time? It was because nobody had ever heard a man sing something like “All Shook Up” and it shook them to the core. Being sexy like that just came naturally for Elvis and the girls picked up on it immediately like some kind of sexual email was being sent directly into their brains! Other rock and roll stars followed in Elvis’ steps very quickly. Jerry Lee Lewis knew what to do and he got himself into a great big ball of fire with his underage lover. Chuck Berry was another natural, and he also created some serious trouble simply because he was black and the white girls went for him big time. I think that may have been the first time that the pathetic and hung up white male population had to deal with the racial sex issue at this level.

Then The Beatles exploded. It was the Elvis phenomenon again except that all The Beatles really did was sing like gods, shake their mop top heads around and look adorable, and thousands of girls got wet panties at the very same time. The effect was enhanced by their memorable simple love songs because those young girls who were coming of age and dreaming about falling in love connected on the emotional level too. At first all they needed to write was “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “Please Please Me” and millions of girls wanted to please them and hold something of theirs. The sexual message in their music was often very subtle but Ringo’s driving beat made them want to get up and shake it all around.

Mick Jagger was another natural, just like Elvis. Right from the beginning, “The Lips” knew how to give and get Satisfaction and he followed that up with a long series of balls to the wall hits with strong sexual messages like “Play with Fire, “Live With Me” and the all time classic musical expression of sex, “Going Home”. Strangely enough, it wasn’t Mick who actually got all the girls into bed, it was Bill Wyman, the Stones’ bass player. In his autobiographical book Bill told all, and his groupies totaled in the thousands. He never made it clear in his book exactly why that happened to him and not the same way to Mick who must have gotten and still be getting whoever he really wants to have. But it did happen and all Bill ever did was stand there completely still and play his bass guitar looking sort of sad and forlorn. There simply has to be a logical explanation for Bill’s success, and I think I know what it is. (Don’t ask, I won’t tell).

Not much needs to be said about that most powerful sexual dynamo, Jim Morrison, who told all the girls to “Come on Baby Light My Fire” and before fainting dead away, they did whatever he wanted them to do. I’m not sure how many net surfers understand what “Back Door Man” is all about but the song itself says “the men don’t know but little girls understand”. Enough said on that one.

And then came Jimi Hendrix. The pun is intended. Jimi had to have been the sexiest black musician of all time and few girls didn’t want to be his “Foxy Lady”. They actually used to line up outside his dressing room backstage and Jimi would come out and choose one or more at a time. He was another one who simply couldn’t help himself, although he did understand exactly what he was doing and why. Later on in his career he stopped his sexy performance on purpose because he was a serious musician who wanted people to appreciate his playing and his songwriting for being as creative as it was. He felt that his sex show was getting in the way of that kind of appreciation so after the Experience broke up, he pretty much stood still playing with his eyes shut because he didn’t even want to see the girls out there anymore.

I believe the best example of sexual energy expressed in sound is Led Zeppelin. Whenever they played live Jimmy Page seemed to stagger around the stage as if he was drunk, but he wasn’t drunk. It was just that the hurricane of sexual force that blew out of his amp was too much for even Jimmy to withstand. Now I’m sure that most people are aware that rhythmically beating drums awaken the sexual forces. Africans were despised and envied by white people because of the sexual way they danced to their own drum music. John Bonham, who was unquestionably the best rock and roll drummer who ever walked the face of this planet, pounded his drums with such power that Led Zep’s sexual energy increased dramatically. Irresistible sexual energy in their music is only one of the many good reasons why I say that Led Zeppelin is the #1 Rock and Roll Band of All Time.

Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll

Well lets first of all talk about the title which is a very clear indication to what I am going to talk about, firstly Sex yes I said it sex I aint a prude you know! Lets face it we all love sex it’s a natural act to all humans I wouldn’t be writing this if my mum was a virgin now would I. The reality is we all do it, your mother, your dad, your sister even your grandmother if she is still up for it.

Its all about the circle of life your born you have sex reproduce have a bit of fun along the way and then die at a respectful age if your lucky, but sex should not be treated as a chore especially women they should love every minute of it, I mean come on girls can a guy have multiple orgasms No! so why should we treat it like it is a bad thing everybody should be pushing there own sexual desires higher and higher because you will never be able to say that was the best sex ever in the missionary position, come on its boring that’s how your great grandparents did it because the Religion made it out to be an evil thing with a thousand sins – looks like I am going to Hell.

Drugs, I aint saying go out and get some there great, each to there own in my opinion but I don’t see nothing wrong with experimenting. I have had every drug available and have never had a bad thing to say about them except for cannabis I hate it, especially when you see the effects it has on most peoples sense of humour Zombified is the word. If you add sex and Drugs together though forget about the Rock ‘n’ Roll band you will be having a sex party all night long especially the Male population out there, I can have continuous orgasms and he is like the Duracell bunny “Wahey”

Well Rock ‘n’ Roll sounds very dated nowadays maybe it should be replaced with “Part F*%kers all the way” or something like that, Rock ‘n’ Roll is something your dad used to listen to but then again he most probably took drugs and had plenty of sex I have enough brothers and sisters to prove that.

Everything for the party generation is based on the weekend is it the drugs or the sex or maybe because we just want to go out and socialise No! unfortunately times have changed for the better and its all about getting shit faced and getting laid, come on that’s all we work for nowadays what else is there to do I am not going to stop in and watch “who’s trying to be a millionaire again” I mean come on our grandparents stopped because they had no money and sex was just a way of reproducing. Not for me when I found out were my G-Spot was and what my clitoris was all about I was out clubbing a few Drugs and a decent shag if I was lucky and if not straight home to my Vibrator (I have needs as well)

Well I guess everything in life compliments something and all I can say is live life to the fullest and enjoy yourself whilst you can and yes Sex, Drugs and Rock’n’ Roll is still an on going thing in my eyes.

the max & thats what i plan in doing.
