"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
