Description
Tracing the emergence of rock culture in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union from 1954 to the present day, "Rock Around the Bloc" looks at both sides of the 30-year conflict between rock fans and the Communist Party. It takes the reader into the Kremlin for special Central Committee meetings devoted to the "evil" of rock music; into the streets of beleagured 1968 Prague and 1981 Poland where rock bands helped spearhead social and political reforms; and into the bedrooms of young people secretly tuning into pop broadcasts from the BBC and Radio Free Europe.
