Alan Cross: How Rats & Fireworks Led To The Beginning Of "Rock & Roll"

It may be a bit of a stretch, but radio vet Alan Cross outlines the long and circuitous route from 9th century fireworks and rats to Alan Freed and the beginning of rock and roll. You may not buy it, but it's an interesting read anyway.

What an interesting read! In the 1990’s I discovered Moondog, the artist at the centre of this article, and sourced his 1969 release simply titled Moondog, pretty cool album, still play it from time to time.
Thanks for sharing RA.
