Rock’n’roll mirrors society’s changing attitudes about sex. The women who fainted at Little Richard and Elvis Presley concerts, Sid and Nancy’s troubled punk-rock relationship, and the Riot Grrrl movement transformed sexual mores. Renowned historian Edward Shorter explores the connection between sex and the music that defined 20th Century culture in this funny and incisive short account.
