learning how to rock and roll.

Some asshole called the police, complaining that the "noise" the Beatles were making was "too loud", and made them turn down the volume (or stop the concert altogether, I forget which). The studio whose building's roof they were playing on was located in a very conservative London business district, but so what? They were the fucking Beatles! 

I guess it's just as well that history does not know the identity of the sorry-ass complainer...

I heard some people claim, on some TV news show, that "black people invented rock & roll". But that's not true. Rock was a synthesis of black rhythm & blues and black gospel music with white country music and white gospel music. For every Little Richard or Chuck Berry, there was a Jerry Lee Lewis or Elvis Presley.

In fact, white country musicians Bill Haley & the Comets are usually credited with the first rock & roll hit song, with "Rock Around the Clock".

Much of the initial breakthrough of rock and roll into the wider pop music market came from white musicians, such as Haley, Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, re-recording earlier rhythm and blues hits, often making use of technological improvements in recording and innovations such as double tracking, developed by the large mainstream record companies, as well as the invention of the 45-rpm record and the rapid growth of its use in jukeboxes. At the same time, younger black musicians such as Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley took advantage of the gradual breakdown of ethnic barriers in America to become equally popular and help launch the rock and roll era.

By the time of Haley's first hits in 1953, and those of Berry, Little Richard and then Presley the next year, the term and the concept of rock and roll was firmly established.^[9][24]

For me, it's a few Duane Eddy tracks that get me properly agitated. The horsey-ridin' fun of "Detour", for example.

McCartney underrated on bass. Freakin' "Rain"!
