We will not meet on Friday 11/6. However, here are some study questions for your Rock n Roll quiz as well as notes that you will need to have concerning Monday's class. Take care that you get all of this information so that you are well prepared.
Quiz Questions (Choose 5 and make sure to support your answers)
1) What was American Bandstand, and how does it relate to today's music?
2) What does the "Royalty Clause" mean legally, and how does that affect today's music?
3) How did rock n roll make its way to the British during World War II?
4) What was the start of negative connotations concerning Rock n Roll?
5) Rock n Roll has roots in what types of music?
6) Many artist's record labels used the "Royalty Clause" to legally distort and "steal" other artists music and make profit. Has the 'game' changed since then? Is inappropiate downloading just as guilty of a violation as distorting music back in the 40's and 50's?
