	Australian rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roxon wrote the world's first Rock Encyclopedia, published in 1969, and her writings about pop music and musicians were central to the development of serious rock criticism and rock journalism in the late 1960s and 1970s.
		These rock dances were a continuation of the social dance circuit that had thrived in Australia's cities and suburbs since the 1800s.
		Detroit rock bands such as the Celibate Rifles, The Lime Spiders and The Hitmen would serve as a link between the garage rock revival of the 1980s and the grunge scene to follow.

	The Rock State -- Chicago Ink April 1997
		Rock journalism is a fixed feature of the Life Style sections of newspapers and Give Aways nationally.
		Rock coverage and the Rock "Scene" (as bogus a creation as Contra "freedom fighters") are tied in new and exciting ways to business profit.
		Rock journalists are as uncritical as they are compromised and apolitical.

		Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.
		Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.
		Journalism largely consists of saying 'Lord Jones is Dead' to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.

		Rock journalism's decline parallels the rise of MTV in the '80s.
		Informative profiles about the lives, intentions and musical merits of rock stars were no longer necessary since fans could see the stars on display 24 hours a day without having to, like, read and stuff.
		Rock 'n' roll became a section in the magazine, not its specialty, and Rolling Stone became the status quo that it was launched to rebel against.

	Rock Music & Culture
		“Rock musicians are musicians who have the balls to be themselves, speak the truth about their experience no matter who’s listening and always play and sing from the place in themselves that only they can get to.”
		The relationship I propose between rock and pop music is very similar to the one now widely accepted between film and theater: despite the obvious common elements, what makes a good work of art in the newer form is so different that it is worth addressing separately.
		But I will argue that they had a stronger impact on rock music than on other forms, and that it is only in great rock music that all or most of these elements are found to converge.

		But even if you accept the proposition that testosterone will always have a disproportionate role in rock and in rock criticism — which might or might not be true — male critics have often needlessly inflamed resentment through their treatment of female musicians.
		In her essay “Between a Rock and a Hard Place,” McLeod delineates criteria by which rock critics typically make judgements, and her analysis is not only dead-on but also points to other areas of tension.
		Probably because whereas rock was once a relatively easily discernable form of music that contrasted sharply with the innocuous radio hits that characterized “pop” in the 1960s, it is now an incredibly nebulous subset within a broader world of pop music.

		When Ann Powers and Evelyn McDonnell started writing about rock and roll in the early '80s, they found themselves operating in a largely male-dominated field.
		The "Big Daddies of rock criticism," as Powers refers to writers like Greil Marcus, Robert Christgau, Dave Marsh, and Robert Palmer, were all men.
		We did want to reveal areas of rock history that are usually in the shadows and show that the history of rock that's been presented by males is not the only history that there is."

	Lillian Roxon: Mother Of Rock - smh.com.au
		Rock journalism is, of course, the lowest of the low.
		As a proto-feminist and, indeed, one of the pioneers of rock writing - a graduate of the Sydney Push and another of its expatriate success stories - Greer dedicated The Female Eunuch to her - Roxon, who died in New York in 1973, has long been prime biography material.
		Students of rock and rock writing, however, will be disappointed by Robert Milliken's take on Roxon's life; but so might a more general readership.

		But we're a machine rock band, the key word in that phrase being "machine." And you have to be able to hear the machine part of it.
		Not being able to hear the backing tracks means that it's hard for me to sing in key, and it's hard for everyone else to hear the breaks and changes.
		And, yes, once again, because it is machine rock, part of its nature is to have either backing tapes or triggered sampled loops.

		Arriving with the first wave of rock critics, he was a fearless experimentalist, whose contagious spirit and disregard for the journalist's role as detached observer are his contributions to the trade.
		Due to either professionalization, industrialization or both, rock journalism has evolved into a different beast from what it was in the 1970s.
		According to DeRogatis, rock journalism "was born in the mid-sixties, blossomed along with New Journalism in the early seventies, and was professionalized and purged of much of its personality by the early eighties.

	Journalism - Wikiquote
		Journalism is a discipline of collecting, verifying, analyzing and presenting information gathered regarding current events, including trends, issues and people.
		Calling journalism the "first rough draft of history" (the phrase is widely credited to Philip Graham) has become a cliché; but the press literally created the cliché.
		But journalism cannot reasonably be expected thus to insist upon the permanent miracles.

		Rock began in the 1970s with her first documentary, The Bronx Irish at the Ramparts, lamenting the disappearing Irish neighborhoods in New York.
		With her students, Rock produced Israel Through the News, a documentary on the media coverage of the Intifada in Israel (1988), and Turning Inward (1999), a documentary about ethnic tensions in Russia.

	Nik Cohn - Music Books - Randy's Rodeo
		Englishman Nik Cohn was around when rock journalism was an ill-defined and poorly-read genre.
		In addition to these arguably dubious accomplishments, Cohn was reknowned (at least within rock circles) as a dandy and a character, and his work is infamously unburdened by an adherence to facts.
		Nik Cohn was barely a teenager in 1957 when he discovered rock and roll, and he was still a teenager when he published his first novel.

		He is already the subject of a biography and an earlier anthology, so it must be said that this second collection of his works is uneven and stretched thin, clearly feeding on Bangs' bad-boy image as much as on the merits of the material.
		Bangs' work, like the rock milieu he was immersed in, is raucous, atonal and often crude, delivered in hyperamplified, chemically enhanced heaves.
		But journalism would rock a lot more houses if more dared give birth to their own Sounds, however erratic they might be.

	Interview with Steve Jones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Now, if the question is whether U.S. writers have carved one in the psyche of rock critics generally, I think it's largely because US critics have probably had a fair bit of license to roam.
		The thing that provides the connection between rock criticism and the New Journalism to me is that the experience of music, even when it's at a mobbed festival with tens of thousands of others, is intensely personal.
		But it wouldn't fly for most rock fans, because it wouldn't get across to them what it was like to be there, what the show was like, what the people were like, what the music was like.

	LCD 24 \| Myths of Rock and Roll
		For almost 30 years, rock music's been a prisoner of some powerful, essentially bogus "natural laws" that have shaped artists' and audiences' perceptions and behavior.
		The Rock Is Art myth was largely institutionalized by the late '60s/early '70s advent of rock journalism: If rock was legit enough to be written about, it must be Saying Something.
		As a listener, I know that my favorite rock 'n' roll CDs lately are albums that were either produced before the rule of Myths 1 and 2, or, because of cultural lag-time, transcend them altogether.

		Rock and roll music played an enormous part in the way author Paul Raushenbush (Beliefnet’s Pastor Paul) came to understand the world and his role in it.
		As much as any sermon, he says, "Rock lyrics enlightened and challenged me and were instructional in my eventual calling as a Baptist preacher.” So, it is not surprising that he is fascinated with the musicians behind the music.
		Over his 25 years of rock journalism with Rolling Stone, VH1, and many other magazines, Anthony has interviewed just about every rock and roll artist who matters.

		To many, getting paid to listen to and write about rock music would be a dream job -- perhaps the next best thing to being an actual rock star.

	Music Commentary from The Bomp Bookshelf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Rock 'n roll seemed to be everywhere during the decade, exhilarating, influential, and an outrage to those Americans intent on wishing away all forms of dissent and conflict.
		The author offers a guided tour of rock music from the 1950s to the present, emphasizing the theoretical underpinnings of the style and, for the first time, systematically focusing not on rock music's history or sociology, but on the structural aspects of the music itself.
		Stephenson shows how rock music is stylistically unique, and he demonstrates how the features that make it distinct have tended to remain constant throughout the past half-century and within most substyles.

		Hoskyns, as evidenced by his introduction and his choices of "dangerous" rock articles, is a moron of a recognizable type, one of those garrulous, aging classic-rock corner preachers, which, come to think of it, describes an alarming percentage of white Anglo-American males.
		It’s as inane as signing up to be the backroom accountant for a Nevada whorehouse: A rock journalist is despised by the groupies, gets almost none of the trickle-down profits but is key to the business’s solvency (in rock, fame is capital, and fame requires magazine articles).
		The music is inevitably debased in the transfer to words, made worse by the fact that rock journalists are at the bottom of an already intellectually debased profession–most rockers are boring idiots.

	Rock's current pages few but fruitful
		Rock journalism and criticism first became serious pursuits in the late '60s, but with the exception of a handful of the greats who've been anthologized (among them, Nick Tosches, Richard Meltzer and Lester Bangs), much of the best music writing from years past has been lost to the ages.
		Rock's Backpages (www.rocksbackpages.com) is a British Web site that was established a few years ago to archive previously published work by a couple of dozen well-known critics and journalists for the benefit of fans and researchers (who may access this material for a subscription fee of $4 a month).
		Speaking of Bangs, the most famous of rock critics serves as the subject of a new collection, the awkwardly titled Mainlines, Blood Feasts and Bad Taste: A Lester Bangs Reader (Anchor Books, $15), the long-awaited and eagerly anticipated follow-up to 1987's posthumous anthology, Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung.

		Rock writers have grown so politicized in their bland advocacy of every outrage against established taste and so entombed in the fog of the therapeutic culture that they really don't care what's good and what's not anymore.
		Rock critics see the rock tradition as one unbroken line from Elvis to the Sex Pistol to Gansta Rap.
		But Elvis wasn't the revolutionary people claimed him to be (his music was about singing the blues and dancing, not revolt), and pop music has always had it's share of decency and talent — unlike Madonna, who's becoming increasingly difficult to grow old with.
