In this Episode we continue to CELEBRATE 70 Years of Rock N Roll!

1956 - 2026

...from the very first HIT BLUES song ever in 1920 on the deep down low through the murky waters of the Mississippi Delta onto Robert Johnson, FOUNDING MEMBER of the 27 Club, through his TWO HISTORIC Texas Recording Sessions (1936 & 1937), Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Charley Patton, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, Ry Cooder, the Rolling Stones and MORE! MORE! MORE!

Generations in the making, Rock N Roll officially became part of the cultural zeitgeist in 1956, the first year this perpetually evolving NEW MUSIC produced the most popular song of the year.

Rock N Rollers Little Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Frankie Lymon And The Teenagers, Bill Haley And The Comets, vocal group The Platters, Johnny Ray and British skiffle sensation Lonnie Donegan were also present in the Top 50 Year End Singles Chart of 1956.

This had never happened before in the history of recorded music...

From this point on, Rock N Roll ruled the charts, becoming the most dominant genre of popular music for the next 40 plus years.

To celebrate this milestone. The GXO music podcast will, over the next few episodes, be exploring and expanding upon the ever evolving nature of Rock N Roll from it's humble acoustic beginnings through numerous other incarnations including, but not limited to, pub rock, punk rock, proto punk, post punk, industrial, disco, electronic, hardcore, rap, EDM, post rock, new rock and ultimately where she currently resides in the hills of contemporary NPR = New Post Rock where nary a guitar is likely to be found.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCK N ROLL!

1956 - 2026

70 Years of Maximum Rock N Roll!

 

Years in the making, Rock N Roll officially became part of the cultural zeitgeist in 1956, the first year this perpetually evolving NEW MUSIC produced the most popular song of the year, Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley.

Fellow Rock N Rollers Little Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Frankie Lymon And The Teenagers, Bill Haley And The Comets, vocal group The Platters and British skiffle sensation Lonnie Donegan were also present in the Top 50 Year End Singles Chart of 1956.

This had never happened before in the history of recorded music...

From that point on, Rock N Roll instantly took over the charts, becoming the most dominant genre of popular music for the next 40 plus years.

To celebrate this milestone. The GXO music podcast will, over the coarse of a number of episodes, be exploring and expanding upon the ever evolving nature of Rock N Roll from it's humble acoustic beginnings through numerous other incarnations including, but not limited to, pub rock, punk rock, proto punk, post punk, industrial, disco, electronic, hardcore, rap, EDM, post rock, new rock and ultimately where she currently resides in the hills of contemporary NPR = New Post Rock where nary a guitar is likely to be found.

In the first of the series: "Its...Rock N Roll 01" we find ourselves milling about the ghastly mellow saxophones of 1973, walking Carnaby Street in fashionable London in the Swinging 60's, trolling the Bowery in 1970s East Village, lower Manhattan, frequenting both Max's Kansas City AND CBGBs, dodging THREE of The Big Four while giving up the ghost to the Heavy Metal strains of ragged orchestral cellos and all that Jazz.

All this and MORE...

In the latest installment of the GXO, Generation X Offender music podcast, offending friend and foe alike since 1966

...and so we conclude at the Conclusion of our multi episodic Three Part Dissemination exploring Three Main Ingredients of what 21st Century British Psychedelic Poet Laureate Robyn Hitchcock once famously described as, "the great Civilizing Force of the 20th Century, Rock N Roll"

 
DRUGS
SEX (parts 1 & 2)
ROCK N ROLL
 
SEX, humanity's ORIGINAL DRUG, gets a Subsection B, of course. It is what it is.
 
Sex being Sex, there's gonna be some bad words, degenerate ideation and base behavior voiced in some of the songs. For this we do not apologize, however, we do STRONGLY URGE LISTENER DISCRETION. We got GG Allin in the house today kids so it's time to lock up your doors to protect the youth of tomorrow.

 
As you may have noticed, after 80 odd episodes of The Generation X Offender, we have finally given up Dancing about Architecture, or rather, talking about music, essentially the same thing. Music is meant to be listened to. FULL STOP.
 
We will resume talking about music in future episodes...

In the immortal words of 70's disco singer and pornographic actress Andrea True, "More, more, more. How do you like it? How do you like it?"

Why?

Because more is, MORE!

Right?

Why choose when you can have more?

Why chose when you can have both?

 

"This is what you want, this is what you get" - John Lydon

 

MORE SEX please! (no, we're not British)

 

Back by popular demand, we've extended the Sex segment of our three episode dissemination of "the great civilizing force of the 20th Century, Rock N Roll"

 

Why?

Because we love you.

We love to love you baby.

Not to mention the oft cited X-Rated tome "Tales From The Camelot Motel" by Dame Mary Gauthier herself, both King & Queen of the storied Ryman

"He's lying on the double bed acting self assured
In his T-shirt and his underwear he's barely said a word
She pours a cup of coffee lights the day's first cigarette
Picks up the phone and call her kids from the motel kitchenette

And there's two guys moving slowly in the room across the hall
Both their heads are pounding from last night's alcohol
They met in a chat room then they took it here
They both go by pseudonyms and soon they'll disappear

Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels
Come looking for the grace from which they fell
So they hold on to each other in the darkness
Cuz the morning light is hell

At the Camelot Motel

He met her at the pool hall the guys told him she's touched
Now she's ranting and she's raving 'bout the Devil, Christ and such
He's thinking 'bout the highway and the way she begged last night
He's wishing that he'd blown this dump before the morning light

Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels 
Come looking for the grace from which they fell
So they hold on to each other in the darkness
Cuz the morning light is hell

At the Camelot Motel

 

Lancelot and Guenivere bang their bedpost in my ear

Neon lights the castle walls bug lights in the entrance halls
I lie awake with a troubled mind thinking 'bout what I left behind
Me and the royal denizens got damn good reasons for our sins

Now there's a couple counting money in Room 124
They're wrapping 10's and 20's throwing their 1's on the floor
They're strung out and they're nervous, they jump at every little sound
He keeps picking up his pistol then putting his pistol down

Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels
Come looking for the grace
From which they fell
So they hold on to each other
In the darkness
Cuz the morning light is hell
At the Camelot Motel
The Camelot Motel"
 
This episode is dedicated to all those with deep and reoccurring knowledge of the Walk Of Shame. We know who we are.
