This book tells the intuiguing and culturally complex story of the art school influence on post-war British popular music.
Following Romantic attitudes from life class to the recording studio, the authors focus on two key moments: the early 1960's when art students like John Lennon and Eric Clapton began to play their own versions of American rock and blues and infected youth music with Bohemian dreams, and the late 1970's when punk musicians emerged from design courses and fashion departments to discrupt what were, by then, art-rock routines.
