Jackson Browne - Information Wars

Rock and roll has evolved since its inception in the 1950s. As the decades progressed, rock and roll began to incorporate elements of other genres, such as jazz, folk, and classical music.

This evolution of styles led to the development of genres such as hard rock, heavy metal, punk rock, and alternative rock. As rock and roll continues to evolve, new genres and subgenres are constantly emerging, leading to an ever changing landscape of music.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a museum and hall of fame located in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, dedicated to recording the history of some of the best known and most influential artists, producers, engineers, and other notable figures who have had some major influence in the development of rock and roll music.

The Hall of Fame was established in 1983 by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, which is a non profit organization dedicated to preserving and honouring the history of rock and roll. The museum features a wide variety of artefacts, including instruments, costumes, photographs, and other memorabilia from influential musicians. The museum also hosts a variety of events, including concerts, lectures, and other educational programs.

Popular music has broken off into categories of rock, pop, country, and R&B, each with their own origin stories. But R&B and rock, usually codified as vastly different, Black and white styles, have long been intertwined in ways our historical memory may have us forget.  Despite the innovation that comes from separation, rock and R&B always find their way back to each other. In recent years, rock veterans have turned to the genre’s classics for inspiration. Queens of the Stone Age veered from their typical hard rock with 2017’s Villains, a dance y album inspired by frontman Josh Homme’s love of 1920s jazz and swing, other Black genres that laid the groundwork for the popular music of today.

Whilst some of the aforementioned jazz pioneers, like Ella Fitzgerald, stayed clean, several had a history of drug abuse... which often resulted in premature deaths. Louis Armstrong, who used the infinitely safer drug marijuana throughout his 69 years... Whilst drug use was not uncommon among musicians in general, this pattern that many of the greats of jazz died young due to addictions speaks of a consistent level of turmoil, and alludes to their common experience of racism as a depressive factor in 20th Century America.
