Rock And Roll Generation Teen Life In The 50s

This fully illustrated volume in the Time-Life series, Our American Century, is a scrapbook of that long-ago Ô50s teen scene that still seems so close today. It was a time, above all, when teens gave the world a new music -- the wild beat called rock & roll. The editors talked to veteran hot rodders, guitar & jukebox enthusiasts, collectors of vintage 45s, & a host of Ô50s high schoolers still happy to share memories of those magic years. They went everywhere from the Library of Congress to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum. The resulting book, containing more than 300 pictures & countless quotations, brings back the hopes, fears, & dreams of a one-of-a-kind generation, a generation that could only have exited in the fabulous, nifty Ô50s.Brash, Sarah is the author of 'Rock And Roll Generation Teen Life In The 50s', published 1998 under ISBN 9780756778835 and ISBN 0756778832.
