ABSTRACT
At least once in every decade, rock ’n’ roll has been declared dead. When Elvis Presley went into the army in 1958; before the Beatles, in 1963; during disco fever in the 1970s; during a country music boomlet known as the moment of the Urban Cowboy in the 1980s. In 1990, rock was declared dead again. But this time, there was “proof.”
