what a fun course! brought me back to the birth of metal and hair bands . thank you so much for doing this course!!
More than a course on history of rock, is a course on history of culture and american society in the 20th century. Recommended.
Excelent. Actually now is more fun to read about musicans (recently Iggy Pop & Black Sabbath) because context is better understood. (A bit weird that Tom Waits is not even mentioned)
A great course especially if you follow along with the book and use the extra videos and music links from the book's website.
