“Rock and roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played, and written for the most part by cretinous goons. By means of its almost imbecilic reiteration it manages to be the martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth.. Rock and roll is the most brutal, ugly, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear” (Frank Sinatra, 1957)
