History of Rock and Roll part the third

Meanwhile, while Holy Mother Church was gettingher vocal riffs together, the Irish people were playing with strings in 6/8 time. And the English, when not stealing various languages for their own, were discovering the value of music as the mass media of the time. This led to the invention of the Child Ballads. Although they would not be known as Child Ballads for several centuries.

This meant first of course the cultural issues were addressed..the early version of the soap opera. Then politics, horror stories, and the top 10 of the millenium..sex songs.

Now before any of you get too excited and dash off to the golden REALLY oldie section of the library, bear in mind that all of the songs were heterosexual and that the magic word of the time was "innuendo". But such fun innuendos they could be. Louie Louie but people actually knew the lyrics.

And coming soon on the horizon another ingredient toward the invention of Rock and Roll..the Superstar.
