Peter Bebergal, "Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll"
English | ISBN: 0399174966 | 2015 | 288 pages | EPUB | 1081 KB
This epic cultural and historical odyssey unearths the full influence of occult traditions on rock and roll – from the Beatles to Black Sabbath – and shows how the marriage between mysticism and music changed our world.
From the hoodoo-inspired sounds of Elvis Presley to the Eastern odysseys of George Harrison, from the dark dalliances of Led Zeppelin to the Masonic imagery of today’s hip-hop scene, the occult has long breathed life into rock and hip-hop-and, indeed, esoteric and supernatural traditions are a key ingredient behind the emergence and development of rock and roll.
With vivid storytelling and laser-sharp analysis, writer and critic Peter Bebergal illuminates this web of influences to produce the definitive work on how the occult shaped – and saved – popular music.
As Bebergal explains, occult and mystical ideals gave rock and roll its heart and purpose, making rock into more than just backbeat music, but into a cultural revolution of political, spiritual, sexual, and social liberation.
