CHADDS FORD, PA, July 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) In Rock Eras. Interpretations of Music and Society, 1954-1984, author Jim Curtis gives a comprehensive analysis of the first thirty years of rock music. Curtis shows that there are patterns in the evolution of rock music--a period of five years of innovation is often followed by five years of assimilation. For example, Elvis Presley's rise to stardom began in 1954; Beatlemania hit in 1964, and was followed by the disco craze, which began in 1974.
"This is a book I wanted to write ever since I saw Elvis live in concert in Tupelo, Mississippi," says Curtis.
Jim Curtis has a PhD from Columbia University, and taught at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he won numerous teaching awards. While at the university, he taught the first course on popular culture ever offered there. He is a Regular Contributor at The Morton Report (www.themortonreport.com), where he writes on popular culture.
