rated by value.

expression.
 The Mother of Invention
Pete Townshend
Jim Morrison

Jon Entwistle
Keith Moon Robert Zimmerman

Janis Joplin Julie Driscoll

Brian Auger

“Rock-free rock, negation of rock.”
Assante 47
 GOTH

PUNK
The forgotten?
From the beginning
Renewal and Rebirth

 Ideas for Class Activities
• Make them play an Instrument. (My violin?)
• Name favorite songs/bands and why.
• Name an instrument that one would like to
play/play already. Possible share experiences.
• Ever been to a concert? Share?
