Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:An electrifying collection of the most entertaining and illuminating writing on and from the rock-and-roll scene. "Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay" assembles the writing of those who played the music and pushed it to new limits, as well as those who were there to witness and celebrate its power. 20 photos. Book News Annotation:This anthology of almost 100 essays includes Joan Didion writing on a
Doors recording session, Tom Wolfe on the Beatles, Patti Smith
recalling her first response to the Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa
testifying before Congress, and Yoko Ono explaining John Lennon's
death to the press and her son. The offerings are divided into eight
sections: a definition of rock 'n roll, ancestors of the genre,
superstardom, weirdness (the excess of fame), first-hand rock
experiences, soul, the critics, and tributes. A rock's gallery of
glossy b&ws occupies the middle pages. McKeen is journalism chair at
the University of Florida where he teaches courses on rock and roll.
