Simonelli, David,

Working class heroes : rock music and British society in the 1960s and 1970s / David Simonelli. - 316 pages : illustrations

Includes bibliographical references and index.

In this work, David Simonelli explores the influence of rock and roll on British society in the 1960s and 70s. At a time when social distinctions were becoming harder to measure, rock musicians appeared to embody the mythical qualities of the idealized working class by perpetuating the image of rebellious, irreverent, and authentic musicians.
