History of Music

For a question aimed at an intro audience, it's more clever than I initially thought.

Exactly! But oh well, it is what it is.

It’s been both, with potential for lots more. Thanks, DT!

well what i see is that the social issues in the song are too hot for television of the time so they bring on some older guy to act silly on a bike and make a joke out of the whole thing.

doubtingthomas, I suspect that Rockabilly is a flexible category. I checked Wikipedia and found it starts out talking about Jimmy Rodgers and Blind Lemon Jefferson. That is definitely background background for country music electrically amped up for play in bars.

I am fond of Hank Williams Sr., Lefty Frizzel, Earnst Tubbs, thinking of the more country side of the music family.

I like to listen to Blind Lemon Jefferson from time to time.

Me Dot Org, you have expressed a bit of concern about rock and roll stars and underage girls. I realize that is a real thing with more than just one star. I really do not have an understanding of that. Stars loose perspective and judgement. With Elvis it seems to be a deeper psychological attachment. I guess.

I remember thinking or wondering a few times during the 50s if rock and roll encouraged people to bypass clear judgement in decision making. It might be noticed that power wealth and fame may encourage that in all sorts of contexts not just music.
