Program Description

Description

JOIN Brian Rose for a VIRTUAL LECTURE via ZOOM in the SAFETY and COMFORT of YOUR HOME

Rock music exploded on the big screen when Bill Haley & the Comets sang Rock Around the Clock at the opening of Blackboard Jungle in 1955. Frenzied teenagers danced in the aisles and there were reports of violence and vandalism at theaters around the world. Recognizing the power of the teen audience, Hollywood began to unleash a series of films featuring Rock and R & B musicians in the midst of plots ranging from rebellious high schollers, out-of-control hot rodders or the romantic antics of spring break college students. This presentation will look at the first decade of rock movies in Hollywood.

Please be aware that there is no need to register more than once.
