Rock 'n' Roll: 1954-1994 © profelipe ™
Everything ends. With the rock n roll was no different. It died in 1994, with the suicide of Kurt Cobain. “That’s All Right (Mama)” by Elvis Presley was released in 1954. Ready: 1954-1994.
What happened really new after Nirvana and “Nevermind “? Famous groups (like U2 or Metallica) have become big business , with expensive concerts, real events for members of a middle class that can afford the tickets. These people are not necessarily fans of the group, those who know the albums and songs. They are “a public event ” here in Brazil, it can be a festival of country music, “axé”, ”pagode” (samba) or rock n roll .
These people buy tickets to a festival without knowing who will be the attraction. The band, which would be the reason for the event, became secondary.
People do not realize the minimal differences about musical styles. It is sad and… boring.
