註釋Who in this generation will ever forget years like 1958, when "That'll Be the Day" and "Teenager in Love" and "Yakety Yak" let the average privileged white kid imagine becoming as fearless as the rough-edged figures who made the records ... 1964, when Phil Ochs wrote about churches burning in Mississippi, and the Beatles arrived in New York with their portfolio of innocent love songs ... 1967, when LSD was legal, Cher was still with Sonny, and Joplin and Hendrix signed with the major labels ... 1972, when Roxy Music and David Bowie and Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman" made sexual redefinition the flavor of the year ... 1975, when baby boomers, experiencing their second childhood, fell under the spell of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby," and Springsteen hit the covers of Time and Newsweek ... 1977, when the Ramones and the Sex Pistols set out to create a new generational Year Zero with their righteous three-chord attack ... 1981, when Big Brother turned out to be MTV, stuffing the collective memory bank with indelible video images ... 1985, when Madonna melded the teasing fifties with the feminist eighties in "Like a Virgin" ... 1990, when confrontational urban rappers and alienated suburban metalheads seemed to be carrying rock's protest tradition beyond the baby boomers' reach once and for all.
