What is the essential of the Rock N' Roll? Let's begin with the following story:
a young man & the God
One evening, the God went out for a walk, by chance the God met a young man who was going to suicide.
God: Hey, young man, i'm the God, you needn't to suicide, i may realize your wish what ever it is.
Young man: Really? Any wish is ok?
God: i'm the lord of all gods, will i be faithless?
Young man: i want to be the most extraordinary rock n' roll guitarist!
God: what's rock n' roll? and what's guitarist?
Young man: all right, let's know what are they.
the God and the young man went to a rock n' roll concert, the God was shaken, he was infatuated with the rock n' roll. People were crazy about the rock n' roll star, the rock n' roll star was soloing insanely crying out his feelings. I have to do something, the God said. After a flash, the young man waked up and find himself was in a holy hall, two wings came out from the back, what happened? At that time, a scrip fly to him said: YOU ARE THE GOD AND I'M THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY ROCK N' ROLL GUITARIST! AHA......
the young man poken the clouds and found the God is soloing insanely on the stage, people croweded with him, and the God put out his middle finger to him once and once again.
Look, the fascination of the rock n' roll is obviously to see, and we all know this music is always come with drags, violence, decadence, cynical. Rock n' roll is bad? I don't believe it.
In 1950s, the word Rock N' Roll was born. This new music is mixed with the two different music, Blues & Country. Only the Black enjoy the Blues and only the White love the country music. Some people who was tired to make some change to the music to enjoy more people, and the rock n' roll was there.
The 1960s to 1980s is a very important period to rock, the meaning of rock n' roll has changed, it's not a music but a attuide to life, people shuold be himself or herself, breaking the traditions, expressing your own mind, longing for peace, changing this world... etc.. It is the Rock N' Roll, you can play rock n' roll if you want to, no matter who you are and where you are, are you black or white, are you rich or poor, the only thing we need is to be ourselves, to produce a peaceful world through rock n' roll!
There is a famous slogan said: MAKE LOVE NO WAR! It reprensent the essential of the Rock N' Roll. Thoes people want to make this world better through this music, it is what they are doing.
Sometimes, people believed rock n' roll is noise, the violence is derived from it, and drags, decadence, cynical even more, they are not rock n' roll, not the real meaning of rock n' roll.
Believe me, Rock N' Roll is just using high volume, strange clothes, unusual doings to attract people to know their mind,
WE WANT TO MAKE THIS WORLD BETTER, A PEACEFUL WORLD, NO WAR!
