Part of the magic of music is its ability to evoke feelings: happiness, sadness, laughter, tears, fears, and, of course, love.

Rock n’ roll caused an explosion in the world music scene like few others, but it also signaled a taste change in what made America laugh: while the pre-rock novelties of the ’50s were occasionally clever, they were also usually staid, the remnants of the Greatest Generation’s safe, homespun humor.
