Working Class Heroes: Rock Music and British Society in the 1960s and 1970s Hardcover - 2012

by David Simonelli


From the publisher

In Working Class Heroes, David Simonelli explores the influence of rock and roll on British society in the 1960s and '70s. At a time when social distinctions were becoming harder to measure, rock musicians appeared to embody the mythical qualities of the idealized working class by perpetuating the image of rebellious, irreverent, and authentic musicians.
