The Boswell Sisters, Rocket 88, Sh-Boom - even Ludwig Van still add up to that "public consciousness thing."

And in the Public's Perception, Alan Freed gets the nod, as does Bill Halley.

What year was Kay Starr's Rock & Roll Waltz? (well, it was a waltz . . .)

As a wise man at The Smitsonian once told the lovely Miranda, Rock and Roll began w/ Grog, a log, and a big stick. Same formula, I believe, as Metallica's drummer.

Rock occured, as Gary Larson once pointed out, in the days before Paper and Scissors.

Don't it make you feel aw-rite!
