It is full-on rock and roll with the volume and the syncopation and the downbeats and the noise, yet it is used for worship, evangelism, and the entertainment of abstinent youth-group members and 50-year- old biker pastors. [...] The idea that rock and roll must be synonymous with rebellion was promoted by both the marketers of the music (sin sells better) and the conservative majority in the church. [...] Rock really combined the sonic tension of the blues, the rhythm and groove of black gospel, and the melodic and lyrical simplicity of vocal pop music. [...] By the time Elvis Presley blended the vocal approach of the white southern gospel and pop stars with the energy and charisma of the blues and jump bands, the new genre was firmly en- sconced in American culture. [...] The famous Li/e-magazine photo of a student placing a flower in the barrel of a soldier's rifle captured the story of the decade.
