Rock ’n’ Roll, the Opposites, & Our Greatest Hopes—A Celebration!
Why has Rock ’n’ Roll affected people so much? Singing and commenting on songs from the ’50s and ’60s to the present, we illustrate these sentences from an Aesthetic Realism lesson Eli Siegel gave to a rock musician: “Rock ’n’ roll has the answer to people’s problem of, on the one hand, wanting to be very private and sad, and on the other, wanting to have something like sunlight and public force. Every person has to make a one of the most secret thing in him and the most public thing. Rock ’n’ roll shows it can be done.”
