Abstract
The evolution of messages in rock and roll, diversity and disparity included, offers unique insights into an emerging ecocentric paradigm. The contagious affirmation of the gift of life that began with Rock’s primal beat became a revolt against and a questioning of authority’s values and, ultimately, has led to a quest for new forms of identity and spirituality. This essay examines the evolution through three particular lenses — the cultic forms of old-time rock and roll, the countercultural messages of folk and classic Rock, and the ecofeminism of contemporary singer-songwriters — as a means of elucidating the evolution of rock and roll’s religious and ecological themes.
