This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll

In This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll, award-winning music historian Daniel Rachel explores the controversial connections between rock 'n' roll and the imagery of the Third Reich over the last seventy years. He examines how prominent artists have, at times, engaged with troubling associations to Nazism, provoking discussions about accountability among fans, the media, and the music industry. Through a careful analysis of these complex relationships, Rachel invites listeners to reconsider the historical context of rock music and its often problematic fascination with the dark aesthetics of fascism.
