Summary

  • Rock and roll may be here to stay, but individual artists and styles are not.
  • What were once vices are now habits.
  • Good is bad, and bad is good.
  • "My album may be number 1, but I'm not commercial!"
  • Not all music is art; most of it is simply product.
  • The audience for rock is getting both older and younger.
  • Music, including rock and roll, affects behaviour.
