From the back cover: When Norwegian Arnie Petterson left Ellis Island in November 1954, he was the last immigrant from the old continent to pass through the infamous gates to a new life in the United States. Ten years later, four lads from Liverpool opened the door of a Pan Am Boeing 707 at the newly renamed JFK airport in New York, to be met by thousands of screaming fans, heralding the start of a new European invasion. What happened in the ten years between would go on to shape the world’s vision of America for decades to come, determine the future path of music, and create a pantheon of idols and stars who would act as yardsticks for musicians worldwide. This is the story of how America invented rock and roll, then allowed older generations and the authorities to tame, maim, and shame the stars. Rock and roll should have died a death in the early 1960’s, to be viewed as a blip in an otherwise continuum of unchallenging family musical entertainment, and it probably would have if it were not for a bunch of behind-the-times young men in England. This is the story of the birth, rise, fall, and ultimate resurrection of a life-affirming cultural phenomenon.
