Britannica says, “Rock … is not just an eclectic form musically but also a contradictory form ideologically. In making sense of its contradictions, two terms are critical. The first is presence. The effect of rock’s musical promiscuity, its use of technology, and its emphasis on the individual voice is a unique sonic presence. Rock has the remarkable power both to dominate the soundscape and to entice the listener into the performers’ emotional lives. The second is do-it-yourself (DIY).” “To rock” is to, ostensibly, wallow in one’s basest desires and champion your inner-self.
Rock of Ages (I hope) purposefully has mashed together a lot of the 80’s most resilient hits in a fun and sing-a-long worthy way. Welcome Nostalgia! So, like the second critical term, do-it-yourself….PLEASE SING ALONG!!!
