ROCK MUSIC IN THE 1960S: FROM COMING OF AGE TO GOLDEN AGE

  • ROCK MUSIC IN THE 1960S: FROM COMING OF AGE TO GOLDEN AGE

Course description

The roots of rock music run deep in modern American history and culture. From the blending of different musical styles such as blues, country, jazz, and folk, to its connection to culture and politics, rock music has had a tremendous impact on our society. In the 1960s, that impact became even more pronounced as rock music became synonymous with one of the most turbulent and transformative decades in American history. Politics, protests, drugs, civil rights, exploration, peace, and love all became popular themes during the decade with rock music playing a role every step of the way. Add to that a generous infusion of talent from the UK, and you get what many consider to be a golden age of rock music. We will visit many of the artists and concepts that shaped Rock Music of the '60s. (Note: Course may contain offensive language and material. It’s rock and roll!)
