Rolling Stone

Not only the origin of rock and roll, but also the short history of it can be seen as a series of hybridisations, that constantly changing styles and fads,as rock assi milaets every conceivable musical style (folk, blues,soul,indian,classical, psychedelic,ballad,country)but one that goes bank to the  Drifters,Elvis Presley, Little Richard,Buddy Holly,and so on.Rock and roll‘s longevity is its ability to assimilate the energy and style of all these musical traditions.Rock and roll at once exists and doesn’t exist; that is why the term  “rock and roll” is the best term we have,as it means nothing and thus everything- and that is quite possibly the musical and mystical secret of the most overwhelming popular music the world has known.
