Replay-The Secret History of Rock and Roll with Christopher
Knowles. Scott Cluthe has an extraordinary guest tonight,
Christopher KnowlesI. The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll with
Christopher Knowles. Rock 'N' Roll Religion. Sex. Drugs. Loud
music. Wild costumes. Dazzling light shows. These sights and sounds
all describe a great rock concert or a hot dance club; but they
were also part and parcel of the ancient cultural phenomenon known
as the "Mystery religions," whose rites often made Lollapalooza
look like a church picnic. The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll
picks up where other rock histories leave off. It tells the story
of the Mysteries—their rise, fall, and eventual rebirth in the New
World, where rhythms and melodies from the West African and the
Celtic diasporas collided with the sound of popular music forever.
You'll meet history's first pop divas, headbangers and guitar
heroes, and learn the true story of the Puritan Woodstock The
Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll also traces the development of
rock's most popular genres, such as punk and heavy metal, and
explains why stars like Jim Morrison were called "modern
Dionysians." You'll learn why rock legends, like The Rolling
Stones, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, mixed gurus and gods with
guitars and groupies. And you'll see how Deadheads, PhishHeads, and
many of rock's other great cults are simply folllowing in their
ancient ancestors' footsteps. Get ready for a wild ride that will
take you from the Stone Age to the Space Age.
