Question: According to George Lipsitz, rock and roll has a fascinating history tied to race and the working class. What does he think made rock and roll a powerful art form historically, and why? How do songs like Louis Jordan's "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens" or Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" communicate protest against society's norms? How does the form and/or content of such songs (or others you can think of) communicate an alternative narrative or alternative set of values?
