Back cover
Literature, the press, fashion, cinema, television, graphic design, photography, comics, the internet – for nearly sixty years, rock has permeated every sphere of culture as well as our daily lives.
From Converse to Perfecto jackets, from Teppaz to Deezer, from the Golf Drouot to the BCGB, from scopitones to MTV, from hashish to heroin, from military service to rehab, from vinyl to iPods, from guitars to keyboards…
With 250 entries, this richly illustrated book offers a deep dive into a cosmopolitan world populated by uninhibited groupies, managers of varying degrees of shrewdness, obsessive scholars, foul-mouthed roadies, visionary journalists, cursed writers, and musicians who have mysteriously vanished…
Unique in its genre, this encyclopaedia tracks down rock culture in its furthest corners, dissects its influence, describes its excesses, unearths its treasures, exposes the frauds and reveals the scandals. A must-read at full volume!
