The Great Women of Rock and Roll

Wed,  Oct 22

1-2:15pm

with Alan Steinfeld

The 1960s and ‘70s were full of great power bands of male superstars, but the women of that period made significant contributions and innovations to that special tradition of the American music scene. This class will survey some of the great artists, their contributions, and the importance of their work in contributing to the equality of women in the post-'60s era. Drawing on examples of the “Classic Age of Rock” from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, we will watch and listen to some of the cultural heroes that have helped give us more feeling and meaning in our lives. Alan is the producer/host of the YouTube channel program New Realities and author of the award-winning book, Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence.
