Discussion
Only choose two:
1. What does it mean to say that rock music is a mixture of all the American music that came before it? What are some examples of elements, not just musical but cultural, political, etc.; that connect all of this music?
2. What are some of the historical, economic, or social circumstances that had an influence on this music?
3. Do you think there are stereotypes inherent in the performances we have heard or watched? What are they? Remember that stereotypes could be musical or otherwise and not just racial.
