It Came From the Garage.mp3
Rock and roll was born with two strikes against it, needing a shave and late for detention. It popped its cherry in 1955 and looked back with no regrets. One can't ascribe its fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. Rock couldn't lose what it lacked at conception.
Mass-market nostalgia gets us hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive DJs and producers and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great weight. Rock's continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight by hipper-than-thou critics. Only a reckless verisimilitude will set the record straight.
Witnesses for the prosecution include: leather-clad demon bikers, Motor City punk rockers, Dixie-fried harmonica players, barbecued Memphis bandleaders, gutbucket bass players from Louisiana swamps and post-pubescent axe slingers. They came storming out of the garage with crude instruments, a point and a shaking fist.
It's time to demythologize an era and build a new myth from the gutters to the stars. It's time to embrace the men who paid to secretly define their time. Here's to them.
